Spell books
by wart0o
Spell Books adds a magic progression system to Minecraft, built around more than 20 spellbooks, elemental powers and mana-based casting.
What it does
Spell Books gives players a set of magic books, each with its own abilities and playstyle. Casting spells consumes mana, and players can combine different spells to find the magical path that suits them. The mod groups its content into schools such as Earth and Water, and each school has equipment that strengthens the spellbooks of that element. Magical armor sets can be worn to boost those abilities further.
The mod also places new structures across the world, including the Astronomer's Tower, a three-story building filled with enemies and rewards. Mysterious creatures and dangerous bosses wait at higher altitudes, among them the Queen Stone-Eaters, who guard valuable rewards. The author plans further schools and armor sets for later releases.
The mod runs on Forge for 1.19.4 only, and it has to be installed on both the server and the client. It is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
