✨ Astral Core
The magic-systems library behind Majestic: essence, spell casting, rituals, research and relics. Adds no content on its own — other mods build on it.
✨ Overview
|
Astral Core is the shared magic engine of the Majestic ecosystem. It ships no spells, rituals or relics of its own — it gives other mods (starting with Majestic itself) the frameworks to build them on top of: a single per-player essence resource, a spell-casting pipeline, a multiblock ritual engine, a per-player research graph, and a relic framework bridged to Regalia Slots API. If you were told to install this mod, it's because another mod on your instance depends on it — most likely Majestic. |

🎯 Features
🔮 Essence
A single, server-authoritative magic resource per player: capacity, passive regeneration out of combat, and stackable modifiers from any source (altars, biomes, relics, research). Synced to the client automatically.
✨ Spell Casting
A registrable spell-type system with a full cast pipeline (pre-cast → cost check → effect → post-cast), per-player cooldowns, targeting helpers (raycast, area, self, projectile), and client-side hooks for particles and sound.
🏛️ Ritual Engine
A multiblock altar framework: structure validation against a tag-matched shape, ritual phases and lifecycle, configurable failure risk, and NBT-persisted state — ready for any mod to build concrete altars and rituals on top of.
📖 Research Graph
A per-player knowledge graph of unlockable nodes with prerequisite checks, synced automatically, and a trigger API so other mods can report progress ("item obtained", "structure entered") without Astral Core needing to know what they mean.
💎 Relics
A relic behaviour contract (equip / unequip / passive tick / active ability) bridged to Regalia Slots API's equip slots, plus a set-synergy system for bonuses when multiple related relics are worn together.
🧱 Mod Structure
| Package | What it provides |
|---|---|
essence | The per-player magic resource, its passive regen, modifiers and client sync. |
cast | The spell behaviour contract, its registry, cast context/result, targeting helpers and cooldowns. |
ritual | The multiblock/altar engine: structure validation, ritual lifecycle and risk. |
research | The per-player knowledge graph and its unlock/trigger API. |
relic | The relic behaviour contract and its bridge to Regalia Slots API, including set synergies. |
📋 Requirements
| Minecraft | 1.21.1 |
| NeoForge | 21.1.249+ |
| Java | 21 |
| Side | Client and Server (required on both) |
| Depends on | Regalia Slots API |
🎮 How to Use
- Install as a dependency of another mod that requires it (e.g. Majestic), on both client and server.
- Install Regalia Slots API alongside it.
- There is nothing to configure directly — Astral Core has no player-facing content by itself.
Early development. Astral Core is still pre-release (0.0.0-beta.x) and its API may change between betas.
