Wisp & Willow
by _reynn
Wisp & Willow is a NeoForge magic mod that adds willow trees, elemental sigils, ritual crafting and summonable familiars to the game.
What it does
Wisp & Willow is a magic mod built around hidden forces and ritual practice. Willow trees and strange potted plants are placed in the world, Oak Saplings drop from deepslate, and water sources can be used for the early steps. Progression goes from sigils to familiars to more demanding ritual patterns as the player explores deeper.
Seven sigils are crafted and used to shape hidden forces, each tied to an element or to the Astral. Rituals are performed by drawing chalk circles around a Willow Altar with flux, sigils and rare reagents. Wisps wander at night, and an Axolotl familiar can be summoned to accompany the player. An in-game grimoire, powered by Patchouli, explains rituals and sigils step by step.
Installation needs Geckolib and Patchouli, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge only, for the game versions 1.21, 1.21.1 and 26.2, under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license; the mod is not open source.

What the author says
From there, craft sigils, awaken familiars, and uncover ancient rituals once whispered by wisps that wander the night. From there, the world slowly opens into deeper magic, stronger familiars, and more demanding ritual patterns.
