## Hotfix (1.20.1 only) - Fixed a crash that could occur when dying or when returning through a portal from the End. - Fixed a crash that could occur when **Punchy** was installed at the same time.

## IMPORTANT This update makes major internal changes to many items, so **please make sure to back up your world before updating.** ## Hotfix - Fixed a crash that could occur when another mod added a third hand. ## New Content ### Spells - Added **"Thermal Slice"**: Slice through things like melting butter with heat. - Added **"Lightning Arrow"**: Where it hits does not matter. Hitting the target does. - Added **"Bloody Arrow"**: Defeated enemies drop an item that restores health. Common sense, right? - Added **"Sacred Arrow"**: Arrows that never miss are practically a staple of mythology. - Added **"Lunar Aim"**: A magical arrow imbued with the cold power of the moon. - Added **"Echo Arrow"**: Not a Vortex Fragment. - Added **"Lock-on Ray"**: Not very Minecraft-like at all, but I wanted to make it. - Added **"Quick Blink"**: Your standard emergency dodge. ### Items - Added **"Spell-Reaper's Scythe"**: It looks like it was made to reap magic, doesn't it? - Added **"Full-auto Rapidcast Spellrifle"**: A rebalanced version of the Multi-purpose Staffrifle with only its rapid-fire functionality retained. - Added **"Charm of Monarch Bond"**: Treat your minions with care instead of throwing them away. - Added **"Emblem of Undying"**: A Totem of Undying you don't have to throw away after one use. - Added **"Mana Maneuver Gear"**: Not flashy, but it should be useful. - Added **"Quickcast Scroll Cartridge"**: Depending on your keybind setup, this can fill the role of actions like dodging by triggering spells instead. - Added **"Mantle of Shooting Star"**: Honestly, this is getting pretty close to a mecha action game. - Added **"???????? Transducer"** (**Malum only, hidden by default**): For people who understand what “connect the staff” means. ## Changes / Tweaks In preparation for the 1.0 release, older content continues to receive extensive reviews and major balance adjustments. ### Spell Balance Adjustments - **Thermal Process** - The damage portion is no longer blocked by Fire Resistance. - The debuff portion is still blocked by Fire Resistance. - **Combustion Jet** - The damage portion is no longer blocked by Fire Resistance. - Targets are now set on fire before damage is dealt. - **Harvest Moon** - While **Craftsman's Delight** is equipped, it can now shear sheep within its area of effect. ### Item Balance Adjustments - Reworked the **Transcendence** enchantment. - Maximum level is now 1, and the level increase is fixed at +1. - The range of items that can accept it has been significantly restricted and changed. - Items that can no longer receive Transcendence after this rework will no longer benefit from it even if they already have the enchantment. - Please check JEI for the current list of compatible items. - Some items that previously could not exceed their spell level cap, such as **Elemental Bow**, can now do so. - Transcendence is no longer mutually exclusive with **Surge** or **Attunement**. - Reworked **Elemental Bow**. - It can no longer use spells in its default state. - Added 3 adjustment slots and 1 scroll slot. - The scroll slot accepts the same types of spells as before, and the inserted spell is applied together with its level. - As a result, enchantment-based spell level bonuses have been removed except for **Transcendence**. - The overheat system is now shared across Schools instead of being tracked separately. - Inserting a **Recovery Rune** into an adjustment slot restores the previous per-slot behavior. - Inserting a School rune allows its spell power modifier to be changed in exchange for a mana cost penalty. - Existing datapacks remain partially compatible, but some functionality has been removed, so reviewing them is recommended. - Added 6 additional default supported spells, including existing spells. - Drawing **Elemental Bow** in spell mode is no longer cancelled by taking damage. - **Ring of Spell Cast Parrying** no longer activates while using Elemental Bow in spell mode. - Reworked **Multi-purpose Staffrifle**. - Changed its appearance. - Removed rapid-fire functionality while aiming down sights. - Added recoil. - Movement speed is now reduced while aiming down sights. - Changed to use adjustment slots and a scroll slot. - It now casts its imbued spell instead of the spell selected on the spell wheel. - Casting the spell selected on the spell wheel can be restored using an adjustment-slot item. - Spells with cast times cannot be used by default. - Adjusted cartridge return rates for ammunition used by **Spellguns** and similar items. - 20% normally, regardless of item. - 90% while **Spellcaster's Ammo Pouch** is equipped. - The cooldown of **Diamond Grandcast Spellgun** and equivalent Spellguns is now extended by the spell's cast time. - **Twin Bladed Channeling Staff** - Its **Channeling** enchantment no longer summons lightning during thunderstorms. - When Channeling triggers a spell with a cast time, the cooldown is now extended by that cast time. - Its **Riptide** enchantment can now continue activating after the initial trigger. - Added another way to obtain **Silver Ring**. - This method exists in both 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, but is easier to use in 1.21.1 because it relies on Trial Chamber mechanics. - Significantly expanded the spells supported by **Protection Spell Supporter**. - Adjusted accessory drop rates from chests and changed the item pool. - They may feel slightly rarer overall, but accessories added in later updates can now also appear. - Accessories no longer appear from Ominous Vaults. - This is mainly to follow dungeon reward changes made in Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks. - **Ring of Spell Cast Parrying** now interacts with certain Malum mechanics. - When the relevant conditions are met, the corresponding interaction is shown in the tooltip. - The functionality itself can still be used even if those conditions are not met. ### Other - Significantly changed the internal implementation of items that can hold multiple scrolls through the **Spell Calibration Bench**. - These items now manage spells in a way that differs from the standard Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks implementation. - Their priority when being added to the spell wheel has changed, so checking spell order after updating is recommended. - Even if an equipped item and another source provide the same spell, both are now added separately to the spell wheel, although they still share cooldowns. - Items using this new system are eligible for the **Transcendence** enchantment. - Changed the recast cast time of **Commence Fire** while **Magi-Agent's Shoes** are equipped from 0 seconds to 0.05 seconds. - Added JEI display support for **Arcanum In a Jar** processing recipes. - **Scrollcaster Gauntlet** now casts the spell currently selected on the spell wheel, similar to a staff. - To use the spell selected directly on the gauntlet as before, it must now be configured through the **Spellcaster's Workbench**. - **Storage Stabilizer** can now open the Ender Chest when right-clicked in the inventory. - This consumes mana similarly to **Summon Ender Chest**. - **Mirage Avoidance** now activates backward when cast without directional input. - Adjusted **Iron's Gems 'n Jewelry** accessory effects that use the newly added intermediate materials. (**1.21.1 only**) ## Bug Fixes - Fixed **Scrollcaster Gauntlet** accepting the **Efficiency** enchantment. - Efficiency never functioned on the item, so this does not reduce its performance. - Fixed weapon-summoning spells with cast times, such as **Slash Blade**, not functioning correctly when duplicated through **Echo Cast**. - Fixed **Catalystbook of Chargecast** not working with **Ring of Spell Cast Parrying**. - Fixed damage that exceeded a **Talisman of Mana Shield** enchanted with **Shell** ignoring effects that intervene in damage, such as Malum's **Soul Ward**, and also causing abnormal death behavior when that damage was lethal. - Fixed **Focus Staffbow** not displaying its trajectory preview when casting **Artisan Smash**. - Fixed **Twin Bladed Channeling Staff** moving to a mob's feet when it hit the target. - Fixed the final stair block sometimes having the wrong shape when extending stairs with **Linear Build**. - Fixed **Mirage Avoidance** sometimes failing to begin movement in the correct direction. - Fixed items with the **Plunder** enchantment sometimes granting the main-hand item the **Looting** enchantment. (**1.21.1 only**) - Fixed **Lure** not functioning and **Good Tides** not being applied correctly when Malum was installed. (**1.21.1 only, Malum 1.8.2 only**) - This is not an Apprentice's Codex bug, but Apprentice's Codex relies heavily on Iron's **Rune of Protection**, and obtaining Pufferfish through fishing had become difficult enough to justify a compatibility workaround. - This fix only applies to **Malum 1.8.2** and will stop applying if Malum is updated.

## Important ### Development Starting with this version, the main development target has been changed to **Minecraft 1.21.1**. This is in preparation for **Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks 4.0**, the next major update to Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks. For the 1.20.1 version, due to the increasing cost of backporting, new features and changes will generally no longer be backported after the release of Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks 4.0, except for critical bug fixes. ### Breaking Changes to Arcane in a Jar The behavior of **Arcane in a Jar** has changed in this update. Before updating, please break and pick up all Arcane in a Jar blocks currently placed in your world. ## Required Version Changes - **Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks:** 3.16.3 or later, **below 4.0** - **NeoForge (1.21.1 only):** 21.1.228 or later - There is no change to the Forge requirement for 1.20.1. - **Create:** 6.0.10 or later (**1.21.1 only**) - The 1.20.1 version continues to require Create 6.0.8 or later, which is currently the latest 1.20.1 release. ## New Content ### Spells - Added **"Mana Transcription"**: A simple job: stripping enchantments off things. ### Blocks - Added **"Alchemy Brewer"**: A limited brewing device available before reaching the Nether. ### Items - Added **"Instant Brazier of Search"**: An item version of the Search Beacon that is weaker and single-use, but much easier to craft. - Added **"Wooden Wand"**: A disposable wand added as part of the Apprentice Desk rework. - Added **"Broom of Floatmount"**: What is a witch without one? - Added **"Broom of Hoverride"**: More of a toy than a practical tool. - Added **"Spellcaster's Accessory Case"**: Accessories affect builds, so they should be easy to manage. - Added the **"Soulcollector"** series (**Malum only**): Malum already has Iron's integration on its own, but this makes it easier to use. - Added **"Soulstained Steel Spell Amplifier"** (**Malum only**): Brings various Malum-related effects to your offhand. - Added **"Soulstained Steel Swingcast Staff"** (**Malum only**): If Malum already has a magic staff, then why not... wait, what even is a staff? - Added **"????? Spellgun"** (**Malum only**): For those who cannot use magic at all because of malice. (What even is malice?) - Hidden by default. ## Changes / Tweaks In preparation for the 1.0 release, older content continues to receive extensive reviews and major balance adjustments. ### Spell Balance Adjustments - **Assist Wings** - Removed gliding functionality. - Fall-damage protection still remains. - Wings now break when entering water, restoring the available jump count. - **Higanbana** - Adjusted hitbox size.

(Increased except for height) - When attacking through walls, damage is reduced and knockback is removed. - **Mantis Blade** - Increased cooldown. (4s -> 8s) - Significantly reduced leap distance. - This mainly follows balance changes made to teleportation spells in Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks. - **Dual Acrobat** - Changed from charging beforehand and firing rapidly after casting completes into a continuous-casting spell that fires repeatedly while being cast. - Reduced base cast time.

This is in preparation for **Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks 4.0**, the next major update to Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks.

(Lv1: 30/s -> 20/s) * Increased damage. * Adjusted the number of items processed. * Changed so range is fixed and no longer scales with spell power. * **Shock** * Reduced cooldown. (1.5s -> 1s) * Changed so range is fixed and no longer scales with spell level. * **Arcane Beam** * Increased mana cost. (Lv1: 10/s -> 10/s, Lv5: 42/s -> 50/s) * Reduced cooldown. (20s -> 12s) * Increased damage. * Reduced cast time. (5s -> 3s) * Adjusted the damage scaling because it was using an unintended formula and had become too strong. * **Assist Wings** * Changed so the number of additional jumps is determined only by spell level and no longer scales with spell power. * Changed its behavior while holding a Mace or **Smashcast Scepter**. * This also fixes an issue where the number of available jumps would not reset after landing. * Changed Slow Falling from a potion effect to a custom implementation. * Changed jumping movement speed so it now takes the player's existing movement speed into account. * **Auto Magnet** * Changed so collection range is determined only by spell level and no longer scales with spell power. * When mana consumption on collection is enabled, the mana cost is now fixed and no longer scales with spell power. * **Auto Turret** * Increased cooldown. (2s -> 12s) * Increased mana cost. (Lv1: 70 -> 80) * Changed so the crossbow's health scales only with spell level and no longer scales with spell power. * Added the ability to consume mana and replenish arrows by right-clicking the summoned crossbow. * Changed so the crossbow no longer disappears immediately after running out of arrows. * Reduced how strongly the crossbow's arrow count scales with spell power. * **Inscribe Ice** * Reduced mana cost. (Lv1: 50 -> 30) * Changed the dagger thrown directly forward so it travels straight without random spread. * **Frost Rune** * Removed self-damage. * Reduced mana cost. (Lv1: 80 -> 50, Lv5: 140 -> 90) * **Magic Spear** * Reduced mana cost. (Lv1: 100 -> 30) * Changed damage scaling so it is significantly weaker at lower levels. * Removed self-damage. * **Fly Swatter** * Removed self-damage. * **Mana Slash** * Reduced damage. * **Mirage Avoidance** * Extended invulnerability so it remains active throughout the movement instead of ending partway through. * **Heavenly Fist** * Increased mana cost. (Lv1: 60 -> 80, Lv3: 80 -> 120) * **Moon Light** * Increased range. * Added an effect that recreates a counter-spell interaction when an attack hits. * **Breaching Enemy** * Changed so the number of projectiles is fixed and no longer scales with spell power. * Adjusted damage to account for the new projectile count. * **Mage Light** * Set the maximum range gained from spell power to 32 blocks. * This limit can be changed through server configuration. ### Item Balance Adjustments * Unified enchantment compatibility between the 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 versions. * **Smashcast Scepter** remains an exception because it uses Mace enchantments. * Significantly reworked the **Spellgun** system. * Spellguns are now used with left-click while held in the main hand. * This means Spellguns can no longer be used for melee attacks, but offhand items can now be used normally. * When held in the offhand, Spellguns are still used with right-click. * Removed spell power bonuses from all Spellguns. * Reworked the intended role and performance of each Spellgun. * Each material now has a more clearly defined role. * Crafting recipes have also been broadly adjusted alongside these changes. * Added a calibration option where inserting a **Silver Spell Amplifier** into the adjustment slot through the **Spell Calibration Bench** allows enchantment and upgrade effects to apply while the Spellgun is held in the offhand. * Cooldown reduction now affects Spellguns. * Reduced the bonus from the **Attunement** enchantment to 3% per level. * Reduced the bonus from the **Tense** enchantment to 4% per level. * Adjusted the behavior of the **Transcendence** enchantment. * Standardized its activation conditions, which previously varied between items. * Handheld items now function in either the main hand or offhand. * Equippable items now function only while equipped. * When multiple items affect the same spell, only the highest enchantment level now applies. * Adding all enchantment levels together and increasing every spell was unintended behavior. * **Elemental Bow** remains an exception, and its selected spell level continues to be increased directly. * Changed **Amulet of Satellite Followcast** configuration so it is now handled through the **Spell Calibration Bench**. * A **Silver Ring** is now required to use spells with cast times. * Significantly reworked **Reflectcast Shield**. * Slightly increased its recipe difficulty. * Changed its available enchantments. * Like a vanilla shield, it can no longer block immediately after being raised. * Imbued spells can no longer be selected. * Changed so successfully blocking is enough to trigger the spell. * Spell activation now consumes mana. * Spells with cast times require a **Silver Ring** in the adjustment slot. * While a **Silver Ring** is installed, continuously cast spells can now be used. * After a successful block, the spell continues until blocking is released or mana runs out. * While a **Shard of Wisdom** is installed, the shield attempts to cast the currently selected spell instead of the imbued spell. * Simplified the behavior of **Scrollcaster Gauntlet** when **Mithril Freecast Staff** is placed in its adjustment slot, as the previous behavior did not match its description. * A **Silver Ring** is no longer required. * Replaced **Mage Light** with **Terra Resonance** among the spells contained in **Explorer's Codex**. * Added **Companion Trunk** to the spells usable through **Storage Stabilizer**. * Improved **Storage Stabilizer** so its currently selected spell is easier to identify. * Reduced the recipe difficulty of **Ring of Spell Cast Parrying**. * Changed the **Swingcast Staff** series so it accepts more magic-related enchantments. * Changed **Spell-Sided Edge** so it accepts more magic-related enchantments. * Changed **Iron Swingcast Staff** and **Copper Swingcast Staff** so they no longer accept spells that require recasting. * Slightly increased the school-specific spell power bonus of **Copper Swingcast Staff**. * Removed the school-specific spell power bonus from **Gold Swingcast Staff**. * Changed **Enchantress's Robe** so it no longer accepts the **Transcendence** enchantment. * Changed the **Stealth Runic** armor series so it accepts more magic-related enchantments. * Imbued spells can now be extracted from: * **Enchantress's Robe** * **Stealth Runic Talisman** * **Chromatic Magia Dress Coat** * **Mana Force Blade** * Reduced the cooldown reduction of **Craftsman's Delight**. (66% -> 50%) * This value has been moved to server configuration together with the effect of **Magi-Agent's Boots**, so it can be restored if desired. * Increased the enchantability of **Enchanted Circlet** from the minimum value to approximately the same level as Netherite tools. ### Other * Updated the Simplified Chinese translation. * Thanks: **LongFei32** * Added item icon changes to **Storage Stabilizer** based on the currently selected spell. * Added visual feedback to indicate when **Personal Shelf** is being cast in export mode. * Changed **Scrollcaster Gauntlet** and **Storage Stabilizer** so spell selection changes are reflected immediately. * **Spell-Stained Arcane Ingot** can now be used as a metal material in **Iron's Gems 'n Jewelry**. (**1.21.1 only**) * When **Mana Force Blade** has **Sharpness**, its displayed damage now includes the Sharpness bonus. (**1.21.1 only**) * In 1.21.1, Sharpness normally does not affect the damage shown in the tooltip. However, because the Sharpness bonus also affects the mana-consumption penalty of Mana Force Blade, it is displayed here for clarity and consistency. ## Bug Fixes * Fixed an issue where **Auto Turret** did not visually face the correct direction. * Fixed an incorrect impact effect for **Shock**. * Fixed an issue where **Lethal Assault** could not be activated through charging with **Focus Staffbow**. * Fixed an issue where **Focus Staffbow** charge did not affect the damage of certain spells. * Fixed an issue where some spell projectiles would occasionally curve in unintended directions. * Fixed and added safeguards for rare issues where certain items or spells could stop functioning or fail to end properly. * Fixed an issue where projectile entities that gain no meaningful effect from being on fire could still catch fire. * Fixed an issue where certain spell items still applied cooldowns in Creative Mode even when Creative cooldowns were disabled. * **Amulet of Spell Autocast** remains an exception because disabling its cooldown would cause it to activate continuously, so it always applies a cooldown regardless of this setting. * Fixed an issue where the selection UI overlapped when different items that display a selection UI while sneaking were held at the same time. * As with identical items, the main-hand item now takes priority. * Fixed an incorrect holding pose when **Storage Stabilizer** was held in the offhand. * Fixed incorrect held-item bonus settings for **Diamond Spell Amplifier** and **Netherite Spell Amplifier**. * Changed the arrow consumption behavior of **Elemental Bow** when casting spells so it now uses the same system as **Focus Staffbow**. * Fixed an issue where **Sense Evil** detection did not render through walls when Oculus or Iris was installed. * Fixed an issue where the full **Magi-Agent Suit** set accepted **Tense** and **Alacrity**. (**1.21.1 only**) * Fixed an issue where **Focus Staffbow** accepted sword-related enchantments. (**1.21.1 only**) * Fixed an issue where **Surge** and **Attunement** on **Mana Force Blade** did not function. (**1.21.1 only**)
