Theurgy

by klikli-dev

Theurgy adds a classical alchemy system to Minecraft, built on the elements Sulfur, Salt and Mercury instead of the four classic elements.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.18.2 – 26.3

What it does

The mod follows the Spagyrics process group from classical alchemy. Players work through the steps of a guide book, The Hermetica, which is crafted from sand, to handle matter and build magical artifacts. The author describes the balance as sitting between the heavy automation of Equivalent Exchange and the more involved route of Thaumcraft.

Theurgy requires Geckolib and Modonomicon, which must be installed alongside it on Forge or NeoForge. Jade, Just Enough Items and Magic Particles Lib are optional and add their own features when present. Only the server and every player who joins it need the mod, since it runs on both sides. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 16 release versions under the MIT License. The source code is public, with an issue tracker and wiki.

Key features

  1. Hermetica guide book

    The Hermetica is crafted from sand and records the alchemy steps a player follows, from the first process onward.

  2. Sulfur, Salt and Mercury

    Matter is handled through these three elements and the processes that move between them, instead of the four classic elements.

  3. Matter transmutation

    Players replicate and transmute matter as part of the alchemy process laid out in the book.

  4. Magical artifacts

    Alchemy outputs include magical artifacts, crafted through the same steps as other alchemical work.

  5. Configurable balance

    Configuration and recipe files let server owners adjust the balance of the alchemy system.

What the author says

Theurgy is an open-source magic mod built around classical alchemy to replicate and transmute matter, and create magical artifacts. Theurgy aims to introduce a new take on Alchemy in Minecraft.
