Patch Notes

General
===================================
Added JEI integration.
Rebalanced XP progression to be slightly slower at lower levels.

UI
===================================
Added a button in the player's inventory to clear a pinned recipe. Only shows when a pinned recipe exists.
Standardized and improved on spell/spellbook/grimoire/item tooltips.
Added "did you know" tips when the mod detects players doing something when a QoL feature is available. Currently only 2 exist, one for placing items in rituals, and one for pinning recipes.
All container items now use a standardized configurable keybind to press while opening them, meaning sneak is agnostic.
Changed the color of modifier change arrows to make them contrast more.
Improved the icons for the lodestar textures.

Balance
===================================
Lowered the Rote requirements for modifiers.
Constructs and Brooms are now immune to in-wall damage.
The Eldritch Orb is now a Curio. It also only drains charge when it is firing.
Rituals of Aurora/Eventide now change the time to morning/evening instead of noon/midnight.
Greatly buffed mana crystals.
Lowered the cost of emanation.

Bug Fixes
===================================
Fixed a bug where constructs could lose their owner.
Fixed a bug where the Runeforge would not turn off when it completed processing.
Runes of marking now properly render their location through other blocks.
Affinity now correctly increases rote xp gained for like affinities.

Ore Processing
===================================
Added the Brimstone Charm, which can be used to upgrade the Runeforge to a Brimstone Forge. This increases its speed by 4x.
Added a method to perform output doubling with a Runeforge or a Brimstone Forge. Yes, I mean output. Food, ore, whatever.

Artifice
===================================
Added the Brimstone Boat. This is an upgrade to the Bubble Boat using the Brimstone Charm and some Manaweaving. This enhanced boat can traverse over lava as well as water.
Added the Mana Resevoir block. This is a new block used in the crafting of various mana storing things.
Added Mage Armor. This dyeable armor takes increased damage from attacks, but can repair itself using your mana. If it fully breaks, it replaces with a Broken Armor item that provides no enchants or defense, but can be restored at a Runic Anvil using a Sorcerous Sewing Set and some Infused Silk. This restores all of your enchants as well. Also has set bonuses for wearing a full set in terms of increased mana capacity and regeneration.
Added Belt of Anchoring, which when worn prevents affinity changes.
Added Selfish Belt, which when worn prevents auras from affecting others and lowers their mana cost.
Added Staff of the Pilgrim, which when held in offhand grants movements speed, jump height, fall damage reduction, and step assist.
Added Amulet of the Battlemage, which when worn causes spells to deal 10% more damage when you have a sword in the other hand.
Added Amulet of Warding, which reduces magic damage by 10%.
Added Witherguard Amulet, which protects against Wither effects.
Added Enderguard Amulet, which teleports creepers away the instant before they explode near you.
Added Ring of Collection, which causes break spells to attempt to put the items in your inventory, or at your feet if your inventory is full.
Added Ring of Transportation, which causes break spells to attempt to put the items in the container marked by the rune of marking in your offhand, followed by your inventory, then at your feet.
Added pedestal charging, which allows Mana Crystals to charge nearby items.

Sorcery
===================================
Added custom spell icons and naming. It's not done for Rote spells yet, but it's coming.
Added a spell component to summon a spectral crafting table for 1 minute.
Added a (FEY) spell component, confuse, which causes the target to randomly attack nearby targets. Does not affect players.
Added a (FEY) spell component, mind control, which causes the target to randomly attack nearby monsters. Does not affect players.
Added a spell component, Divination, which highlights nearby ores. Works through walls.
Added a UI to change modifiable values on a spell.

Manaweaving
===================================
Manaweave patterns can now be captured in bottles.
Added recipes for improvised manaweaving wands, allowing them to be crafted out of several common items but with limited uses.
Increased the cost for manual manaweaving.
Improved manaweaving altar sounds and VFX

Cantrips
===================================
Added a cantrip that acts as a dispelling effect. Can only affect yourself.

Runescribing
===================================
Added the ability to craft rune pattern recipes by making a charcoal imprint of an existing rune at the runic anvil.

Rituals
===================================
Added the Ritual of the Wandering Wizard, which summons a trader that trades all manaweave patterns and all thaumaturgic links for the low low price of 1 vinteum ingot each.
Added the Ritual of the Yawning Chasm, which bores a 5x5 hole straight down to bedrock. Drops no blocks.
Added the Ritual of the Earthen Steppes, which bores a 3x3 hole down to bedrock at a 45 degree angle. Drops no blocks.

Constructs now use Geckolib animations.
Changed the Construct diagnostics screen so that the most recent item is at the top.
Added the Drop Item At Position command.
Added the Wait command.
Added Armor Torso. This will grant the construct armor and/or toughness based on its material.
Added Mana Torso. This gives the construct a resevoir of mana that it can use with various parts. Needs to be charged periodically by a nearby mana crystal.
Added Mana Cannon. Constructs can attack at range with this.
Added the Shear task. This shears sheep, mooshrooms, and will pluck feathers from chickens periodically.

Old Versions

1.2.1.8

Fixed an issue where constructs could skip tasks when the Lodestar was turned off by a redstone signal.

Fixed an issue where magic brooms could collect and deposit themselves when broken.

Reverted the change where items would render underneath the marker icons for ritual recipes.

Added a blacklist for the warding candle to force certain entities to ignore its effects.

Lowered the priority on the HUD render event to see if that helps compatibility with minimap mods

Warding candles can no longer affect boss mobs (including any griefing they may cause)

Fixed an issue with constructs being able to scribe/forge runes

Fixed an issue where construct capabilities weren't applying speed increases appropriately

Fixed a bug with rituals of return and gate that would cause a game crash if unbound charms were used.

Added Bracelet of Trickery
Added Bracelet of Antidote
Added Emberglow Bracelet

Sorcery
==============================
Added a new shape: Sigil
Added a new component: Activate

API
=====================================
Rituals now have a context object that contains pertinent details
Added a portal helper
Added a spell definition helper
Fixed several bugs with API spell additions

When adding to the codex, you now pass the folder; not the actual json file. Also the folder must now be under assets instead of resources.

Your json files must be named according to the locale (example: assets/modid/guide/en_us.json <-- you would pass new ResourceLocation("modid", "guide"). The mod will load the appropriate translation based on the user's setting, falling back to en_us as a default.

1.0.7.2

Download Link

Fixed grimoire particle renderer
Fixed progression rituals crash
Fixed inscription table not showing all reagents needed for a spell
Fixed arcana rituals randomly adding additional reagents
Ritual of flat lands no longer destroys any block with a tile entity directly
- I say directly because it might destroy a block under the tile entity that causes it to destroy itself (such as with wizard chalk)
Added extra checks to hopefully help with some of these weird projectile crashes
Added the recipe to bind a spell to the Hellfire Staff to the Codex
Fixed the grimoire summon pattern in the Codex
Fixed the curios dependency so if it's missing the game will tell you instead of just crashing

1.0.7.1

Interop
====================================

Curios 4.0.0.1 is now a required mod for M&A
- Initially only the Arcane Crown is a curio.
- More will be added later.
- https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/curios

General
====================================

Updated Forge version to 33.0.61
Added setMagicLevel as a command
The spectral elytra now works properly on servers, and is craftable by those aligned with the faerie courts
The guidebook will now load translations based on the current language, with en_us as a fallback.
- This only works on initial game load and I'm tired of wrestling with forge on this for now.

Sorcery
====================================

Added channeled spells. These spells consume consistent mana and will continue until one of the following conditions is met:
- You run out of mana
- You reach the end of the maximum channel time
- You release the right mouse button
- Not all components can be attached to channeled spells
Added elemental spell renderers
Improved the utility of the frost damage component.
- It will now freeze water to ice where it targets and rumors say there is a way to get it to freeze lava as well...
Improved the utility of the gust component.
- It now supports magnitude, which determines what it affects.
  - 0: puts out fire
  - 1: breaks small plants and grass
  - 2: breaks large plants like cacti
  - 3: breaks underwater plants

GUI
====================================

Improved the inscription table's feedback and GUI artwork
Improved the HUD positioning
Improved the Spell Book UI
- It is now a radial menu, opened by holding the Z key (configurable via keybinding menu)

Rituals
====================================

Improved ritual rendering
Ritual of Return now accepts an optional dye component which will change the color of the portal opened
Added Ritual of the Gate
- This ritual opens a permanent portal, which can by dyed
- Permanent portals can be closed by throwing a rune of marking into them

Bugfixes
====================================

Fixed a crashing bug with the Runeforge
Fixed a crashing bug with projectiles
Fixed a bug where portals would lose their target occasionally
Fixed the Ritual of Endless Void not being able to start.
- It now takes its own light level into consideration for the second activation.
Components that place blocks or change blocks should properly respect chunk claims.

Balance
====================================

Projectiles are no longer affected by gravity
All shapes and components now have an initial complexity, which affects their mana cost and cooldown
All adjustable values now affect complexity differently with each step
Radius has been split into width, height, and depth for certain spell parts
Portals no longer teleport players who are sneaking
Re-balanced the XP curve for magic level advancement
Significantly reduced hunger depletion from mana regeneration

Fixed the recipes for arcane compound/ash. Sorry about that.
Changed the runeforge to be able to do up to 16 items at a time, with the time scaling appropriately.
Made the inscription table build button red when materials are missing, when it is crafting, or when there is an item in the output slot. Hopefully this will make things more clear on the use of this block. Note that this ONLY changes the GUI; the block still works the same way (and really complex spells may take more than one stack of ink, vellum, ash, or a combination over the course of the crafting process).
