Summoning Rituals
by Relentless
With Summoning Rituals, a player builds a ritual altar and triggers a summon that produces items, mobs or commands.
What it does
The mod lets modpack developers define their own rituals, each one a summon that yields an item, a mob or a command. Recipes can be tuned closely, so each pack can offer its own ritual experience. Custom events, renderers and block patterns extend what a ritual can do.
The mod adds no recipes by default, so every ritual comes from a pack or a data file. Native KubeJS integration gives the simplest route to writing new recipes, and EMI, Just Enough Items (JEI) and Roughly Enough Items (REI) can display them. Requires Fabric, Forge or NeoForge for 1.21.1, 1.20.1, 1.19.2 or 1.18.2 builds; the mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Installation covers the server and each player's game.
Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are publicly linked. The first release appeared on 2022-09-10 and the latest update on 2026-07-30.
