Tourmaline
by chromonym
Tourmaline adds a magic points system, with magic items that spend points each time they are used and a bar that replaces the experience bar while a magic item is held.
What it does
Magic items draw on a magic points pool shown in a bar that takes the place of the experience or locator bar when a magic item is held. One use of the fire item, which fires a magic arrow in the facing direction, costs 1 magic point. The freezing item, which freezes entities in a cone ahead of the player, costs 6 magic points. The mod also includes a simple upgrading and respawning system and a few unusual redstone components, which the author describes as incomplete.
The mod adds content inspired by a particular game, kept vague in the description to avoid spoiling it. It adds crafting recipes beyond the compacting and uncompacting recipes for gems, and a second type of spawn point that works across dimensions. Tourmaline is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later. It is published for Fabric only, for game version 26.1.2, and runs on the client and on the server, so both need it. Fabric API is required.
