Arcane Manifestation 1.1.0 — NeoForge 1.21.1

This release ports Arcane Manifestation to Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge, updates its school integrations, and adds five new domains.

New Domains

• Astral — Firmament of Fallen Stars

  • Build Constellation Marks to trigger delayed starfall at a warned location.
  • Marks decay when hits stop.

• Melodic — Symphony of the Final Silence

  • Build Resonance.
  • The following hit releases an interrupting shockwave, followed by a recovery period.

• Dune — Sepulcher of the Buried Empire

  • Burial progressively slows enemies.
  • Charged Burial produces a warned feet trap and crushing strike.

• Occult — Altar of the Unspoken Pact

  • Build Offerings.
  • The following spell hit produces a delayed half-damage echo for 20 extra mana.

• Technomancy — Citadel of the Living Machine

  • Build Analysis.
  • Release three traveling tracking bolts that walls and blocking can stop.

Each new domain includes its own visual motifs, charged mechanic, and readiness indicator, alongside shared mana regeneration, school spell-power, and physical damage bonuses.

Updated Schools

• Aqua now uses Ace’s Hydro school, keeping Palace of the Crushing Abyss and the existing aqua_domain attribute.
• Time now uses Iron’s Spells ’n Spellbooks: Chronomancy, keeping Court of Broken Time and time_domain.
• The NeoForge build supports 21 domain schools.
• Shadow, Unstable, Fire Dragon, and Ice Dragon registrations are removed from this build because their previous school providers are absent from the supplied 1.21.1 pack.
• Shadow Invade remains available as an Evocation spell.

Boss Encounters

• Added domain encounters for bosses from GTBC’s Spellbooks and the replacement Chronomancy addon.
• Added temporal rewind and delayed-damage patterns, plus a phase-dependent Blood-to-Cursed encounter.
• Retained supported existing boss domains, special names, and signature patterns.
• Retained blue-fire boss visuals.
• Updated the aquatic encounter to Hydro/Aqua.
• Removed caster entries belonging to the missing TravelOptics and Illage and Spillage mods.
• Other recognized bosses continue to use resistance clashes.

Visual and Compatibility Updates

• Ported networking, attributes, effects, rendering, teleport restrictions, and weather hooks to NeoForge 1.21.1.
• Updated particle integration for Photon 2.2.7.
• Updated aura integration for the supplied Epic Fight 21.17.3.1 build.
• Updated Iron’s energy-layer hook.
• Handled empty geometry batches in the new Minecraft renderer.
• Preserved flowing formation, competing clash ripples, opaque exteriors, 45% transparent interiors, temporary openings, shatter effects, and mechanic halos.
• No clash HUD is added.

Preserved Gameplay

• Spellbook casting and restrictions on scrolls and imbuing.
• Domain affinity selection and scaling.
• Points above 500 for clashes and overwrites.
• Common caster buffs.
• 10% physical-hit charge contribution.
• School-specific direct-hit intervals.
• Armor-respecting damage.
• Visual lightning without real lightning-bolt entities.
• Mana clashes and boss resistance checks.
• Ownership overwrites, immunity breaches, and Shadow Invade.
• End-of-domain cooldowns and proportional cancellation cooldowns.
• Spell exhaustion.
• Supported party, team, pet, summon, and immunity protection.

Configuration Migration

Configuration upgrades to version 10.

Existing configuration is backed up as:

arcane_manifestation.pre-neoforge.json

The migration preserves custom school damage values, updates Aqua and Time mappings, adds new defaults, and removes obsolete entries.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• NeoForge 21.1.250+
• Java 21
• Iron’s Spells ’n Spellbooks 1.21.1-3.16.3+
• Photon 2.2.7
• LDLib2 2.2.40+
• The dependencies required by Iron’s Spells, Photon, and your installed addons

Install the same Arcane Manifestation version on the client and server. Replace older Arcane Manifestation jars in that instance.

Release Status

Initial NeoForge test release.

The clean build succeeded, and 2,895 automated checks passed, covering domain rules, configuration migration, cooldown calculations, barrier geometry, and packet round trips. Mixin target signatures were also inspected.

Client visuals, multiplayer behavior, live clashes, and the new boss encounters still require in-game testing with the complete modpack.
