Tensura Magic Growth

Tensura Magic Growth is an add-on mod for Tensura Reincarnated and Manascore that expands magic ore progression through environmental magicule, mother rock conversion, crystal growth, custom magic geodes, and living-entity-driven environmental magicule growth.

Features

Magic Ore to Mother Rock Conversion

Magic ore and deepslate magic ore can gradually transform into Magic Ore Mother Rock when the surrounding chunk has enough environmental magicule.

Current behavior:

Conversion chance scales with chunk magicule
Low-magicule areas can still trigger conversion at a very small chance
High-magicule areas convert ore more reliably
Each successful conversion consumes chunk magicule
Chunk scanning is processed in batches to reduce performance cost
Player-relocated ore can still be detected and converted

Magic Ore Mother Rock Growth

Magic Ore Mother Rock grows crystals in a way inspired by vanilla budding amethyst.

Growth stages:

Small Magic Ore Bud
Medium Magic Ore Bud
Large Magic Ore Bud
Magic Ore Cluster

Current behavior:

Growth uses available faces only, reducing wasted random ticks
Every successful growth step consumes environmental magicule
Crystals grow stage by stage instead of appearing fully formed
Crystal blocks emit light, making geodes easier to spot underground

Magic Geodes

The mod adds a custom Magic Geode structure based on vanilla amethyst geodes.

Current generation traits:

Generates only in Tensura overworld biomes
Uses a calcite-focused inner shell and a basalt-style outer shell
Can generate small amounts of:
- Magic Ore
- Magic Ore Mother Rock
- Magic Ore Blocks
Resource density has been tuned down to avoid excessive rewards
Geode generation rarity is configurable through the common config

Living Entity Magicule Influence

Living entities with sufficiently high Tensura magicule can now influence the chunk they are standing in.

Current behavior:

Only LivingEntity instances are processed
The system updates on an interval instead of every tick
Each entity updates its own influence instead of forcing full chunk-wide entity scans
High-magicule entities gradually build up environmental influence through a presence-based progression system
The system increases the maximum magicule and regeneration rate of the current chunk over time
The current chunk magicule value is not directly raised by entity influence
Environmental influence decays gradually after an entity leaves the chunk
A configurable diffusion rate allows part of the current environmental bonus to spread into nearby loaded chunks
Chunk values are resynced when chunks load again, helping old abnormal values settle back into the expected range
Per-entity and per-chunk caps are still used to prevent runaway scaling

High Magicule Mob Replacement

High-magicule chunks can now replace specific naturally spawned mobs with whitelist-based rarer Tensura mobs.

Current behavior:

Only applies to natural spawns
Requires the chunk to meet a configurable magicule threshold
Uses a configurable replacement chance
Reads replacement pairs from a whitelist in the common config file
Supports chained rarity upgrades such as:
- tensura:orc -> tensura:orc_lord
- tensura:black_spider -> tensura:knight_spider
- tensura:slime -> tensura:metal_slime
- tensura:metal_slime -> tensura:supermassive_slime
The whitelist is intentionally hidden from the in-game config GUI and is meant to be edited directly in the TOML file

Debug HUD

A client-side debug HUD is available for testing environmental magicule behavior.

Current behavior:

Toggle keybind is available in the Controls menu
Default key is F8
Displays current chunk magicule, max magicule, regeneration, target bonus, and current bonus
Automatically shifts downward when right-side status effect icons are visible

Mother Rock Drops and Mining Rules

Magic Ore Mother Rock is designed to behave close to magic ore in survival gameplay.

Drop behavior:

Drops itself with Silk Touch
Drops Magic Ore Shards without Silk Touch
Fortune affects shard drops
Proper mining tags and ore tags are applied

Configuration

Mother rock conversion, crystal growth, entity magicule influence, and magic geode generation are configurable through the common config file:

config/tensura_magic_growth-common.toml

Available settings include:

Magic geode generation chance
Minimum magicule required to start mother rock conversion
Magicule threshold for maximum conversion chance
Minimum and maximum conversion chance
Conversion magicule cost
Chunk scan interval
Mother rock growth chance
Growth cost for each bud and cluster stage
Entity magicule influence interval
Entity magicule threshold, factor, and contribution caps
Entity influence approach rate
Entity regeneration conversion ratio
Entity diffusion rate
Mob replacement enable flag
Mob replacement minimum magicule
Mob replacement chance
Mob replacement whitelist

Default entity influence settings:

entityMagiculeInfluenceInterval = 20
entityMagiculeInfluenceMinMagicule = 100
entityMagiculeInfluenceFactor = 2.0
entityMagiculeInfluenceEntityCap = 1200
entityMagiculeInfluenceChunkCap = 10000
entityMagiculeInfluenceApproachRate = 0.2
entityMagiculeInfluenceRegenRatio = 0.02
entityMagiculeInfluenceDiffusionRate = 0.04

Default mob replacement whitelist:

tensura:orc>tensura:orc_lord
tensura:black_spider>tensura:knight_spider
tensura:slime>tensura:metal_slime
tensura:metal_slime>tensura:supermassive_slime
tensura:lesser_daemon>tensura:greater_daemon
tensura:greater_daemon>tensura:arch_daemon

Multiplayer and Server Support

The mod supports:

Singleplayer
LAN multiplayer
Dedicated servers

Server installations must also include all required dependency mods.

Design Goal

The goal of this mod is not just to add another ore variant, but to make environmental magicule matter in resource evolution, exploration, and long-term progression. High-magicule areas become more valuable, and players can gradually shape their own magic-rich regions through creature presence and magicule-driven world interaction.
