Wizard Craft
by geracaonerd8
Wizard Craft adds Harry Potter themed spells, creatures, wands and items to Minecraft, set in a blocky version of the wizarding world.
What it does
The mod brings elements of the Harry Potter universe into Minecraft: a set of spells, magical creatures and items drawn from the wider saga. The author describes the aim as a blocky take on the world seen in Fantastic Beasts, Harry Potter and Hogwarts Legacy. Spells and creatures are the main additions.
Wizard Craft runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.16.5 only, and it has to be installed on the client and on the server, so every player and the server need it. The mod is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source. The latest Forge file is version 14.0 for 1.16.5, published on 2025-04-06, and the first release dates from 2025-03-19. The author lists future updates as planned, but no later version is supported yet.
Key features
Spell list
A large set of spells from the series is added, including Lumos, Stupefy, Expelliarmus, Alohomora and Wingardium Leviosa.
Creature additions
Creatures such as Dementors, House Elves, Niffler, Bowtruckle, Thestral and Hippogriff-style beasts are added to the world, including a Ghost.
Wand and magical items
Items include a Wand, Bertie Bott's Suitcase and the Golden Snitch, giving players tools that match the setting.
Curse and protection spells
Harmful and defensive spells such as Crucio, Protego, Expecto Patronum and Avada Kedavra sit alongside the utility spells.

How it compares
XPotter's Hallows is a Forge mod for 1.16.5 with the same client and server environment and an All rights reserved license, so it is a close match on version and install side. HogwartsCraft is available for Forge and NeoForge across 1.21 – 26.2, so it covers far more game versions, and it also uses client and server with All rights reserved. Just-In WIZARD HAT is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only, and it is client-side only, so servers can run it without it.
