Composite magic

Composite magic is a new feature introduced with release 1.44. Composite magic allows for the creation of magical effects through the combination of a special kind of item called a composite item into sequences.

As of release 1.48 of the mod, approximately 50+ composite items exist which support more than 1 million combinations.

Start with composite magic

To start using composite magic equip the item "Skull of a Resurrected Necromancer".

Shift-click to configure magic in GUI supported by the item.

The GUI layout

The GUI contains three groups of slots:

The topmost section consists of 6 slots. Only composite items can be placed in these combo slots. Composite items that are placed in these six combo slots will be interpreted as the current combination of composite magic used by the skull.
The middle section of 3x10 slots is the player inventory. Composite items from the inventory can be dragged into the combo slots.
The lower section of 10 slots is the player hotbar. Composite items from the hotbar can be dragged into the combo slots.

Getting advice on legal combinations

Below the combo slots, the item gives an advice on which composite items can be added in the next free combo slot in order to create a valid combo:

When a legal composite item is added then a check mark appears above the item. The advice is also updated:

Create combinations from left to right

Configure magic by placing composite magic items in the combo slots. Composite items must be added from left to right:

No spaces are allowed in combo's

The first connected sequence of composite items is used by the item, i.e. there shouldn't be any empty slots between composite items. Below is an example with three composite items placed, but with an empty slot between the items. This is interpreted as a combination consisting of two items. The length of the combo can also be read from the check marks:

Minimum and maximum combo lengths

The minimal combo that actually does something is a Projectile Formation item and a Projectile item, i.e. PF + P.

The maximum length of a combo is 6.

Using the combo in the game

Finally, with the "Skull of a Resurrected Necromancer" item in the main hand right-click to use the configured magic.

The current active combo is shown in the lower right of the screen:

Types of composite items

There are different types of composite items:

Projectile formation (PF)
Projectile (P)
Projectile formation modifier (PFM)
Projectile path (PP)
Projectile modifier (PM)

Projectile formation (PF)

These items determine in which formation projectiles are fired.

The first item in a sequence must be a projectile formation (PF).

Projectile formation modifier (PFM)

These items modify the formation of projectiles.

A projectile formation modifier item (PFM) can be placed after a projectile formation item (PF).

Projectile (P)

These items determine the type of projectile which is fired.

A projectile item (P) can be placed after a projectile formation item (PF) or a projectile formation modifier item (PFM).

Projectile path (PP)

These items modify the flight path of a projectile.

A projectile path item (PP) can be placed after a projectile item (P) or another projectile path item (PP).

Projectile modifier items (PM)

These items modify the projectiles, e.g. on impact.

A projectile modifier item (PM) can be placed after a projectile item (P), a projectile path item (PP), or another projectile modifier item (PM).

Supported syntax

Supported syntax for sequences: Sequence = PF [PFM] P {PP} {PM}

xx is an mandatory item, e.g. PF and P.

[..] is optional item, e.g. PFM.

{..} is optional repeated item, e.g. PP and PM.

Some examples of legal sequences:

PF P
PF PFM P
PF P PP
PF P PM
PF P PP PM
PF PFM P PP
PF PFM P PP PP
PF PFM P PP PM
PF PFM P PP PM PM

Examples

Example #1: Single formation + Llama Projectile

Item #1 is a projectile formation (PF): Single
Item #2 is a projectile (P): Llama

This sequence shoots a Llama projectile. Which only does some projectile when it hits something.

Corresponding syntax: PF P

Example #2: Single formation + Llama Projectile + Explode on Impact

Item #1 is a projectile formation (PF): Single
Item #2 is a projectile (P): Llama
Item #3 is a projectile modifier (PM): Explode on Impact

This sequence shoots a Llama projectile. The projectile explodes on impact (either hitting a block or a mob).

Corresponding syntax: PF P PM

Example #3: Trifurcated formation + Llama Projectile + Zig Zag formation + Spawn Cobweb + Receive Mob Aggro

Item #1 is a projectile formation item (PF): Trifurcated
Item #2 is a projectile item (P): Llama
Item #3 is a projectile formation modifier item (PFM): Zig Zag
Item #4 is a projectile modifier item (PM): Spawn Cobweb
Item # 5 is a projectile modifier item (PM): Receive Mob Aggro

This sequence shoots three Llama projectiles at once due to the trifurcated formation item. The projectiles move in a zig-zag pattern due to the formation modifier item. When the projectiles hit something then two things happen due to the two projectile modifier items. The first item causes a cobweb to be spawn at the hit block or mob. The second item casts a curse on the mob in such a way that all mob in the vicinity attacks the poor thing.

Corresponding syntax: PF P PFM PM PM
