Surgebinding
by leafreynolds
Surgebinding brings the Cosmere's surge-based magic into Minecraft, adding powers drawn from Brandon Sanderson's books to Forge and NeoForge worlds.
What it does
The mod adds surge magic from the Cosmere universe to Minecraft. It depends on Cosmere and Curios API, and the optional Patchouli guide helps players learn the systems in game. Both the server and every player need it, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Files exist for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1 on Forge and NeoForge.
Key features
Cosmere-inspired magic
Surge powers modeled on the Cosmere setting let players take on the abilities of different worlds' magic systems.
Curios integration
Curios API slots are used for worn items tied to the magic, so accessories and surge gear sit in dedicated equipment spaces.
In-game guidance
Documentation is built into the game so players can look up how surge systems and recipes work without leaving Minecraft.

What the author says
The Cosmere is a universe devised by Brandon Sanderson, encompassing many worlds, each with their own variation of magic. This mod aims to bring all of that to Minecraft itself... eventually. JEI - because recipes are forever plentiful and who wants to have to google them all the time.
