Pact Magic is an extensive and immersive magic mod that draws inspiration from the popular web serials Pact and Pale by wildbow. This mod allows players to explore a world filled with mystical elements and unique gameplay mechanics.
Overview:
Take control of any mob and command it to follow your will! Utilize the spirits found in every block, mob, and item to unlock extraordinary effects! You can even summon entire biomes! Choose your Implement, Familiar, and Demesne to define and enhance your magical abilities permanently. Build intricate magical systems while facing the repercussions of your ambition!
To dive into this mod, all it takes is crafting a single book: Essentials. For additional details on the mod’s features, take a look at the gallery!
Compatibility with Other Mods:
Pact Magic excels when combined with other content mods. Generally, it operates seamlessly alongside any additional mods. The mod works diligently to assign spirits to various items. You can bind modded mobs as well, although their AI behavior might respond unexpectedly to your contracts. Biome braziers are designed to function correctly in modded biomes. Additionally, modded tools, weapons, and armor can serve as Implements if they are categorized correctly.
For complete integration, a data pack featuring custom recipes is necessary. Elements like item spirits, mob bindings, transfusion recipes, and more can be introduced through JSON files using a designated “practice” folder (check the GitHub for examples). Custom perks for Familiars will necessitate a compatibility mod, as Familiars, Implements, and Demesnes are made accessible as a Forge capability for every player.
Pact Magic already boasts predefined compatibility with several popular mods, including:
- Alex’s Caves (excellent compatibility, these mods complement each other well)
- Cataclysm (complete compatibility, presents a thrilling challenge and rewards for binding major bosses)
- Enemy Expansion (full mob compatibility)
- Biomes o’ Plenty (total biome compatibility)
- Macabre (comprehensive biome compatibility and some item integration)
- Places (full biome compatibility, limited additional features)
- Farmer’s Delight (complete compatibility)
Creators and Contributions:
This mod was crafted by Tickbug, who took inspiration from community interpretations of the works created by J.C. “wildbow” McCrae. A special thanks goes to TinkerTaylor, Telwyn, Blastnboom, and particularly Kvysteran for their extensive playtesting, debugging assistance, creative input, and support.
This mod was developed without the use of AI technology.
Future Updates:
This extensive side project is a labor of love from a single developer, who intended to explore different aspects of modding. Unfortunately, it has grown too large for one person to manage efficiently, especially with the developer’s increasingly demanding schedule. While periodic bug fixes and balance adjustments will occur, there are no current plans to transition it to other versions of Minecraft or implement significant content or compatibility additions. Players can report bugs and request features using this form. If you’ve developed data packs or compatibility mods that you’d like to integrate into Pact Magic, you can contact [email protected].
