Spells & Shields

Welcome to the world of Minecraft magic! The Spells & Shields mod fundamentally expands gameplay possibilities by adding a comprehensive system of spells and magical abilities that organically integrate with vanilla gameplay.

Main Features

A new mana system works similarly to the health bar but for magical abilities. You'll be able to learn numerous spells through various ability trees, unlocking unique tactical opportunities in combat.

The mod is completely data-driven, allowing you to create custom spells and ability trees through data packs. Meanwhile, the physical aspect of PvP remains strong and deadly against magic, maintaining game balance.

Magic System

Spells

Spells are learned through the standard enchanting table - the more bookshelves surrounding it, the more abilities are available (maximum 32 shelves). You have 5 spell slots that can be activated through the radial menu (default V key) or assigned hotkeys.

Mana

Mana regenerates at a rate of 1 unit every 5 seconds (base maximum - 10 units). There's also extra mana (purple color) that works similarly to the absorption effect for health - it's consumed first and doesn't regenerate.
