Overview

MagePack is a configurable magic-combat mod focused on control, positioning, mobility, and tactical utility in survival gameplay.
All abilities are server-authoritative, configurable via JSON, and built to scale as new spells and systems are added.
This mod is actively developed and will continue expanding over time.

Explosive Grow

Hitscan detonation at target point.
Configurable AoE radius, falloff, friendly fire, self-damage, and block damage.
in game as explosive_reverse_detonate.
May not be suitable for survival without extensive balancing (will come later, currently creates about as much as explosive detonate removes).

Void Snare

Creates a control field at target location.
Pulls entities inward, slows movement, and can apply low tick damage.
Player/mob targeting is configurable.

Void Anchor

Single-target tether control spell.
Enforces positional pressure and escape denial once target exceeds tether distance.

Void Ward / Void Lance

Ward: Defensive buff with damage reduction.
Lance: High single-target hitscan strike with small impact AoE.
Lance behavior can be enhanced while Ward is active.

Configurable wall-thickness tolerance.

Morph Spells

Bird Morph (Hawk): Survival flight while active.
Beast Morph (Gecko): Land-focused morph utility.

Morph state cleanup is handled on expiry, override, and Purify.

Void Mend + Purify

Void Mend: Reliable health restoration spell behavior.
Purify: Cleanse-focused utility spell with fallback negative-effect removal.

Mage Robes

Mage robe bonuses for cooldown/reagent efficiency and control-spell enhancement.

Mage Hood

Mage hood bonuses health and mana currently.

Witch's Broom

Craftable broom item that enables native flight with LMB (glide) and a directional boost with RMB which can be used to gain height.

Mana Cost System

Every supported spell can now be configured to use:
- costType: "mana" with manaFlat
- or costType: "reagent" with item reagent cost
Default config now uses mana costs by default.
Mana spend/check path now uses the base game mana stat reliably.

Mage Armor Update

Void Robes display name changed to Mage Robes.
Mage Robes + Mage Hood defaults:
- +25 Health
- +25 Mana
- +10% Physical Resistance
- +10% Projectile Resistance
Added passive configurable mana regeneration while equipped.

Highly Configurable

MagePack exposes most gameplay values through config:

Cooldowns
Ranges
Damage/falloff
Reagents and per-ability costs
Friendly fire and self-damage rules
SFX/VFX IDs
Spellbook slot mapping
Charge mapping settings

Reagents are consumed only on successful casts.

Spellbook visuals
Staff visuals
Broom visuals

Editable fields include:

model
texture
icon
animation
playerAnimationsId
droppedItemAnimation
usePlayerAnimations
iconProperties

Known Limitations

Void Snare/Anchor do not affect dropped items (intentional).
Some effects still use placeholder assets where native/custom VFX are pending.
Some SDK APIs are deprecated where no stable replacement currently exists.
Witch's Broom has no Vertical control besides boosting and hopping off the broom.

Planned Content

More spellbooks and spell families
Additional Magical Items
Additional robe sets and progression hooks
Expanded utility/control spell roster
More custom visuals and polish
Ongoing balance updates
