Spells Gone Wrong (Iron's Spells N Spellbooks)
Spells Gone Wrong adds two combat spells to Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks, a Shotgun Creeper and a Nucreeper Strike, each fired as a set of creeper heads.
What it does
The mod extends the spell set of Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks, which it requires, and also needs JinxedLib. Its two added spells are built on creeper heads: one fires three heads in a spread formation, the other launches a nuclear strike made of creeper heads. The new features can be switched on or off through the config file, and the spells only work with spells from Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks.
A configurable option lets a casted spell damage the caster, so players can tune how risky the new spells are. Each feature is set in the config, which lets server owners decide whether the added spells are available. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Builds cover 1.19.2 – 1.21.1 and carry the Forge and NeoForge loaders; the latest files are 1.20.1-2.0.2 for Forge and 1.21.1-2.0.1 for NeoForge.
