Thaumaturgy is the capability of a magician to work miracles. A practitioner of thaumaturgy is a thaumaturge, thaumaturgist or miracle worker.
This is what this mod is all about - drawing magic from physical objects in the form of Essentia and reshaping it to perform miracles.
The first thing you will need to craft is a wand. The first one available to you is the Iron Capped Wooden Wand crafted as shown here (using a stick and iron nuggets):
You then place a bookshelf in the world and right click on it with the wand. This gives you the Thaumonomicon which explains almost everything else you will need to know about Thaumcraft.

Compatible / Add-on Mods
A friendly request to addon makers:
- Don't go too crazy when adding new aspects. If you do, drop me a PM. If it is something obvious or useful beyond your addon I might add it to vanilla TC. :)
- Try not to add more than one research tab
- Please try and keep your own researches on your own tab
- Please don't move my researches around. You can make copies if you wish to show dependendies on your tab, but the research should remain in its original location.
- Please don't alter any of my recipes. If you feel it is needed for the balance of your addon please drop me a PM. Partly to discuss if the change is required, but mostly since it might actually be a change that should be in vanilla TC.
Lastly, I've noticed some addons adding items from TC 3 or earlier. I don't have a problem with that, so go wild. However several of those items I have been planning to re-add myself. A lot of TC 2 stuff never made it into TC 3 simply due to time constraints. So don't come crying to me if and when I do that. :)
Note - I obviously won't just copy-paste someones elses code for those items or blocks - I will implement my own versions.
If you want access to beta version of my mod to make version update go a bit smoother, send me a PM with your dropbox user info and a link to your mod (so I can check if you are actually an addon dev :P )

Mod Packs
As a habit I ignore every PM in regards to mod-packs - both private and public. Everything you need to know about them is listed here.
You want Thaumcraft in your mod pack? All you need to meet are five simple conditions:
1. Your mod pack needs a link back to this forum post.
2. You cannot make any money off of the mod pack.
3. You cannot claim that you made any part of the mod, and you must give credit to the author of the mod (Azanor).
4. If I ever ask you to remove my mod from your pack, for whatever reason, you do so.
5. Handle any queries and bug reports internally first. This is one of the main reasons I had such a strict anti-modpack policy for such a long time - people using modpacks would come here posting errors that have nothing to do with my mod or that have been fixed ages ago, but still occurs in the modpack because it is using an older version.
If these five conditions are met, then you have my permission to use it in a mod pack.
Special thanks to...
Lorc, creator of the icons I use for enchanting and other things
bonemouse, creator of the Isabella Texture Pack for letting me use his chest textures and skin as well as ScottKillen for making the Thaumium armor graphics based on the Isabella pack.

How do you unlock the curse effect and the Eldritch Tab in the most recent version of the mod? I am kind of uncertain about how you do those two things. Please help.
In reply to lordoccultarus:
hunt pech for there wands
In reply to RSilvawalker:
and scan them? I have done that and nothing has happened.
In reply to lordoccultarus:

In reply to RSilvawalker:
I am using the most recent version of the mod. I would settle for no less.
In reply to lordoccultarus:
I am not sure about the curse effect, but I opened the Eldritch tab by scanning a Crimson Cult member and the Crimson Rites.
In reply to pizzaeater1000:
Ok I will try that
is this mod actually dead?
In reply to sound_of_silence221:
Seems to be the fate of a LOT of the biggest mods from this era. I just got into mc and **just** got into modding and it's crazy because on one hand, the widest selection seems to be available for 1.12.2 (1.14.4 obviously has loads, but there's so many issues - particularly when using forge and optifine together because of being locked to a particular version of forge) - on the other hand, every major mod I come upon is dead and/or permanently dev or beta. Aether II, the Midnight, I'd say a solid quarter of the mods I'm currently using are abandoned.
If I had to guess I'd say the common thread is that people get into these extremely intensive projects out of love for the game, and eventually that love stops being sufficient motivation so they invest themselves in other areas of their lives.
There needs to be a new wave of interested players getting into modding, but I fear Bedrock/Pocket's dominance will lead most of those people to develop for that oversimplified, locked down, Windows-ish Minecraft Doppelganger.
In reply to chillhopbear:
well, unfortunately newer players trying to get into modding have an especially hard time because the community is very toxic and doesnt tolerate any kind of difference on opinion or views. your only chance to get into modding in this community is to never reveal any of your personal information, but even then people will make shit up about you just so they dont have to put up with working for you. a lot of newer modders just need help learning how to mod with minecraft and that can only be learned through experience and guidance. two things which are never provided for newer programmers or modelers.
In reply to sound_of_silence221:
All communities are, or eventually become, toxic. That's no reason to abandon projects.
"The public", eg Humans at large, are self interested. We're tribal animals, and we have not evolved to be able to handle interacting with the massive swaths of people we interact with today. Find me a community, particularly a gaming community that isn't full of unbearable people.
In reply to sound_of_silence221:
What kind of community are you in? Because the main gathering place for this modding community is r/feedthebeast, which is pretty much the most un-toxic community on reddit.
In reply to chillhopbear:
that's exactly my point. you cant find one, and therefor new modders are unable to get started, at least not very easily.
In reply to sound_of_silence221:
I'm not saying you're wrong about the culture, you absolutely aren't. It's the same thing with Linux communities, if you want to get into Arch Linux you either need to be smart enough to do it on your own, or sit through outrageous, undeserved abuse from anyone that knows even a little bit more than you.
What I am saying is that that's no reason not to get into something you're interested in. If you're a programmer or fledgling script kiddie (I'm old, I'm sure people don't still say 'script kiddie' but I don't know what a modern term for it would be) who wants to get into making mods for your favorite game, and people being douche bags to you is gonna make you stop, my suggestion would be to have more drive to accomplish what you want and accept that the strangers you're asking for help aren't your friends and not taking it personally (or at least letting it ruin your drive) when they don't act like they are.
In reply to chillhopbear:
well you just cant get the ball rolling on a mod you cant find non-toxic developers for. that's facts. it's not that i or anyone else that's new doesnt have the drive to get into modding, it's just that what you're saying is literally impossible. i cant code because i have nobody willing to show me and i am not smart enough to learn on my own - i can do really high quality models and textures, but it took me 6 years to find someone who was willing to show me. 4-5 of those years where spent desperately trying to organize teams, meanwhile having programmers straight up lie to me about coding, thinking that they'd get away with it because im not a coder myself. forget that i know how to fact-check crap. anyways yeah, no dice.
In reply to chillhopbear:
In reply to sound_of_silence221:
nobody ever abandons projects, projects die because they cant get any code done for them, hundreds of assets made for a shit ton of planned features that never get done, hours of time wasted.unused models, textures, and broken dreams.

He was active 6 days ago, so he must be up to something. I imagine hes still looking for the right people to look after the mod
