A look into what Minecraft could become when you add a splash of magic...Ars Magica is a mod about casting powerful spells, fighting bosses, and having fun with magic! It features a unique spell creation system where you can create any spell you can imagine!
Interested in playing on a public server with this and many other magic-themed mods?
Got you covered.
Taking your first steps.
Getting started in AM2 is quite simple to do. First, you need to find a pool of liquid essence:
Place an item frame within a few blocks of the pool, and put a book into the item frame, and watch the show.This will give you the Arcane Compendium, which has everything you need to continue using the mod, from guides, to structures, to items, to bosses.
I have a question... (bug reporting instructions too)
I found a bug!
That's great. The forum however, isn't the place to post them. You can post them on the git bug tracker. Check to see if a bug has been posted already before submitting yours! Link: https:github.com/M.../issues
I'm using Ars Magica 1.10.2 and up!
Report to the Github Repository under Growlith1223 until further change, make sure to check if the bug has been reported or not before submitting as usual!

This mod crashed / This mod doesn't work with X other mod! It's a bug, etc.
Very unlikely. Typically these are simply block ID conflicts or some such other thing. Make sure you check your log file, it tells you exactly what the conflict was. If it turns out it's not a conflict, see above.
Something Something Something Textures
Just don't. I can't stress enough how little I care.
No PMs please! Details below.
So here's the deal. You want Ars Magica in your mod pack? All you need to meet are three simple conditions:
- Your mod pack needs a link back to this forum post
- You cannot make any money off of the mod pack
- You cannot claim that you made any part of the mod, and you must give credit to the author of the mod (Mithion)
If these three conditions are met, then you have my permission to use it in a mod pack. Have fun!
We have a discord server now: Discord Link
Does anyone know if there are mods that provide blocks similar to moonstone, sunstone, and chimerite? Honestly, using those blocks for decoration was my absolute favorite part of Ars Magica, but I've yet to find a mod in 1.12+ that has blocks of this kind of aesthetic. I hope when/if Ars Magica is ported that the textures for these blocks will be the same. If there was a mod that added just those 3 blocks to 1.12+ I'd install that bad boi in a heartbeat.

YEAH BECAUSE THESE F###KING IDIOTS WITH HALF A BRAIN CELL DONT HAVE A VERSION FOR 1.12.2 EVEN THO ITS THE MOST USED MINECRAFT VERSION FOR MODS
In reply to gonnamessup:
Alright, dude implying he has more then half a brain cell, tell me; Can you code? Can you make this for 1.12? Are you aware that this, minecraft modding, is a hobby. And that no one has any responsibility to maintain these mods, at all? That modders make these for the fun of it, not out of a requirement.
Or are you just another overly entitled kid, demanding that someone bring you a new set of toys. That you are insulting a mod creator for stepping away from a project that surpasses anything you will ever make. As well as insulting the man who took up updating this, who has put it on hold so he may mourn multiple passing in his family.
I'm still eagerly awaiting, but I hear the devs are having IRL issues, and I respect them enough to be patient.
Y'all need to do the same.
In reply to Noxedwin:
He's rewriting it from scratch which will take a good year or two. I suspect he'll port whatever he's working on for 1.14 though, since I'm not sure if we'll still be playing on 1.12 in 2021.
Hey I really like this mod and would love to see I in a new version. but I know that it can be stressful. I hope life is going good, and if you are work on an update cool and if not that's cool too I love this mod regardless. You have a great day.
ars magic is dead?

In reply to UnlimitedTurtlezz:
Wizardry mod (not Electroblob's, the other one) is supposedly similar.
In reply to sixtymillionsqrd:
I tried it, but it seems to conflict with Thaumcraft 6. Everyone who had reported the same issue either let the ticket rot when a dev asked for more information, or said "oh, I fixed it, kthxbye" without explaining how they fixed it or what the problem even was, or a dev said "I fixed it in dev", but had seemingly never pushed the update out for release.
In reply to Noxedwin:
Oh that sucks. What exactly was the conflict? I've played with both Wizardry and Thaumcraft 6 and didn't notice anything, although admittedly I've never really gotten into Wizardry.
Have you tried out Psi? That's another mod that lets you make modular spells.
Cannot add types to unregistered biome com.teamwizardry.wizardry.common.world.biome.BiomeTorikki
This is the ticket I submitted. The client could load up to menu fine, but the server HATED it, and would immediately crash on trying to establish a spawn area.
I've seen Psi in a few packs I've used in the past, but didn't really know what it was. Either it did a poor job of explaining itself, or I had a short attention span. I'm willing to hold the latter.
Will this be updated for minecraft 1.12.2? I want to add it to the project ozone 3 modpack
1.12.2? because this is one of my best mods

Hey my comment is in there :D
In reply to Janivire:
I'm confused as to what your point is? DEMANDING an update isn't cool, but letting the Devs know that there's a lot of interest and people waiting happily for an update is encouraged. It's hard to dedicate the time it takes to overhaul a mod to update it to a major version if you don't know if people are even going to bother playing it; it's much easier if you know there's a ton of interest and the instant you release even a super early beta version there'll be people dying to try it out.
Spamming the Devs to death isn't good, but letting them know there's still a lot of interest, years later, IS a good thing.
In reply to nightstick24:
Yes. im sure the devs see the constant asking as just simple interest, and not unending spam from a entitled community that cant be bothered to look at any comment other then their own. The list dosent include any comments removed due to curse's spam rules, but even then its on average 3 comments every month since 2016. not to mention there is a discord where the dev has been giving regular updates, as well as the fact development has been halted not due to lack of interest, but rather financial, technical, and family issues.
In reply to Janivire:
An average of three comments a month isn't spamming, is it? That's less than one comment every week...
If it was dozens a day, that's too much, if people were demanding a release and sending threats or hate their way, that's too much. Again though, indicating that you're still interested in the mod, even though it's been on the way for three years is awesome.
I don't know how much Dev work you've done, but there's nothing better than seeing people are still interested in your project when you're over a year late due to personal, financial, or family issues. It's stressful making something and you can feel like you've let people down - which is ridiculous, but we all feel it - but seeing people's interest in it stay up constantly is great motivation to keep pushing onwards.
Let me re-iterate, I completely agree that spamming devs isn't helpful, asking them every single day, a dozen times a day "when is the next update coming" or "can you update to X version" doesn't get it done any faster and can be annoying. But this is a handful of respectful comments a month.
"An entitled community that cant be bothered to look at any comment other then their own" is just plain toxic, and I don't know what you're talking about at all!
Seriously though, from your own example, let's see...
"I have been looking forward to this... one of my favourite mods of all time"
"God I miss Ars, my favourite magic mod"
"sadly I missed.. hope to see it in"
"Wonder how porting it's going. Can't wait for it. Amazing mod"
"When can we expect... Great mod"
"Thanks"
"Thanks"
"Thanks"
"Any news on"
"How's it going?"
And I could go on! Please tell me how asking politely and telling them this is a great mod, or one of that person's favourites, is 'entitled'. It'd be a different story if people were demanding an update, but asking what the status of the mod is, showing their support for it, and sharing their love of the mod isn't a bad thing...
As for the discord, I don't think most people are going to bother going to the discord and regularly following dev updates, if they even know there IS a discord in the first place!
But at the end of the day, neither you nor I are the Devs - and they haven't asked people to stop or commented on it at all, as far as I can tell, so getting mad in their place does absolutely nothing.
