Summary:
Forge modular staffs from 220+ materials, salvage any staff, infuse gear with mana, break arcane seals in hidden vaults, and fill your Almanac!
Forge your ultimate magical weapon! Artificer's Almanac introduces a deep modular staff-crafting system to Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks. Build custom staffs tailored specifically to your magic school, break down found weapons, unlock quest titles and perks, solve puzzle vaults, and infuse your gear with raw mana.
Designed to work fully standalone while offering massive optional integrations across 20+ material and adventure mods. When paired with Spell Atlas, both books merge seamlessly into a single unified mage journal!
Supports Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge) and 1.20.1 (Forge).
Assemble custom staffs at the Artificer's Table using four distinct components: Core, Crystal, Shaft, and an optional Pommel.
220+ Crafting Materials: Compatible with vanilla Minecraft, Iron's Spells, common tag metals, and major mods (Twilight Forest, The Aether, Cataclysm, Create, Mekanism, Botania, Ars Nouveau, Malum, Undergarden, and more). Materials automatically load based on your installed mods.
School-Specific Cores: Forge cores using magic school focuses to grant unique 3D staff heads—claws, flames, ice shards, halos, crescents, or tentacled eyes.
Rarities, Affixes & Sets: Features 5 rarity tiers (up to Cataclysmic), 36 unique affixes (power boosts, hybrid school scaling, or cursed trade-offs), 21 origin set bonuses, and 10 legendary boss-drop staffs.
Imbuing & Upgrades: Inscribe Iron's Spells scrolls directly into staff cores to cast spells like imbued weapons. Fully supports Arcane Anvil upgrades!
4 Crafting Tiers: Progression unlocks from Apprentice to Archmage using Artificer's Notes.
Clear Tooltips & Previews: Real-time stat previews on the Artificer's Table and Shift-hover comparison with your equipped staff.
Salvage Anvil: Disassemble any modular staff or pre-existing weapon (Iron's Spells and addon staffs included) to recover reusable parts and Arcane Dust.
Mana Infusion & Resonating Gear: Charge modular staffs or Manasteel equipment with mana for lower spell costs, higher damage, and active mana shields. Rituals allow gear to gain up to 5 permanent Resonance levels!
Manalite Cells & Condenser: Compress personal mana into portable cells (worn in inventory or Curios slots) that automatically supply mana for spellcasting and gear infusion.
Overcast & Spell Siphon: Cast beyond your mana pool into mana debt (risking instability), or equip Curios like the Spell Siphon to absorb and reflect incoming spell projectiles.
Contingency Charms & Unidentified Scrolls: Craft auto-casting emergency charms (triggers on low health, fire, or drowning) or gamble on unidentified scrolls at the Arcane Lectern.
Interactive Arcane Seals: Puzzle mechanisms requiring correct spell casting, sequence repetition, co-op harmony, mirror beam redirection, or spell echoing. Failure causes Mana Sickness!
Dungeon Vaults: Explore underground Sealed Vaults for rare loot, discover Sealed Caches (compatible with Lootr), or refine your skills on penalty-free Practice Seals.
Manasteel Equipment: Mine Manalite ore across dimensions to forge deep-blue armor and tools that consume mana instead of durability, enabling 3x3 mining and double-jumping! (Combines with Tempest Almanac's Astralite to form Starsteel).
An in-game guide book featuring eight interactive tabs:
Collection & Bestiary: Track discovered materials, affixes, seals, legendary items, and set bonuses.
Quests & Progression: Complete 30 quests across 5 chapters, earn 20 stat-boosting Titles, unlock Artificer Perks, and read mod lore.
Perk System: Purchase 9 artificer perks (cheaper forging, bonus salvage dust, stronger seals) using Arcane Points (with Spell Atlas) or Arcane Dust.
Required: Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge 21.1.250+) OR 1.20.1 (Forge 47.4.10+) + Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks 3.16+ (and Curios API). Install on both client and server.
Optional Integrations:
📖 Spell Atlas (Recommended): Merges both books into a single interface with shared titles, perks, challenge goals, and staff part drops from Nemeses and Anomalies.
🌩️ Tempest Almanac: Enables Starsteel forging by combining Manasteel with Astralite.
🎒 Curios API: Dedicated slots for Siphons, Contingency Charms, and Mana Cells.
🏰 Lootr / Structure Mods: Spawns parts, scrolls, and dust in chests across YUNG's Series, Terralith, and more.
🔍 JEI / EMI / Apotheosis: Full recipe support, item descriptions, and gem dust material compatibility.
🧙 Iron's Addons & Material Mods: Native salvage support and custom staff parts for Cataclysm Spellbooks, Hazennstuff, Monster Spellbooks, Wind Spellbooks, and 20+ dimension/tech mods.
