The Magic Upgrade

The mod starts from a simple idea: vanilla Minecraft combat relies on swords, axes, bows and tridents, while magic exists only as enchantments. Brookun set out to add a form of magical combat, with a wand that gives the player ranged spells in place of physical attacks. Wands perform basic incantations at first, and a player builds them up through a chain of recipes that use copper, emerald, amber and sapphire.

Progression runs through the Nether and the End. Amber is a gem new to the Nether, and mining it requires an Iron Pickaxe or stronger tool, which returns three pieces of Nether Amber; it takes the place of emerald in the intermediate wand recipe. End Sapphire turns up in small deposits after the Ender Dragon is defeated and leads to the magician's wand, the last tier. Wands also gain access to the enchantment table and anvils, and can be improved with more enchantments.

The mod needs Forge 47.1.0 for 1.20.1 or higher. It is a client required mod, so every player installs it, while the server may run it for extra features. The Magic Upgrade is for 1.20.1 only and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. It was created with MCreator.
