The Fabric version requires Fabric API. No dependencies for the NeoForge version.
JEI is highly recommended to view recipes but optional.
The philosophy behind the mod was to create magic spells that are intuitive and fun to use while keeping crafting mechanics simple and straightforward. It aims to mostly mimic vanilla Minecraft aesthetics and mechanics.
First you need to obtain Mana Root from village loot chests. Plant it to grow more of it, you will need a lot. Mana Root can be smelted into Mana Essence in the furnace. This is needed for crafting and fueling the Mana Infuser.
The Mana Infuser will be used to produce Shimmersteel (infuse iron ingot with diamond), a crafting material for the tools and machines, and Raw Spell Gems (infuse amethyst with lapis lazuli), that you can then craft into the actual spells.
Your tool to cast spells. Casting costs durability. There is a new Recharge enchantment for the wand which passively repairs durability.
A bow that doesn't require any arrows in your inventory. Accepts crossbow enchantments instead of bow enchantments. Insert potion gems for tipped arrow effects.
Automated casting of spells. Takes one gem, casts on redstone pulse. Has an internal inventory which is needed for some spells (e.g. Magnet, Plant, Place Block)
Used to enchant your gems. Works similar to the vanilla enchanting table (but no bookshelves or anything required). Put gems or books inside to view enchantment options.
Tool Station to apply enchanted books to Spell Gems, combine two combat gems to one Greater Spell Gem, or socket a Nova gem in a Mace.
