Description

Experience Magic Core (ExpToMana)

Experience Magic Core is a modular balance mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge) that turns player experience into a universal resource for magic.

It integrates Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks and the Spell Engine RPG series, replacing free mana regeneration and missing runes with an XP-based resource system.

Core Features

XP-Powered Mana

For Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks:

  • Mana regeneration consumes player XP at a configurable ratio.
  • All existing mana regeneration bonuses and attributes remain fully functional.
  • Higher regeneration means faster XP consumption.
  • Mana regeneration stops when the player runs out of XP.

XP as Runes

For Spell Engine and compatible RPG Series mods:

  • Missing runes can be replaced with XP when casting spells.
  • Default cost: 21 XP per missing rune.
  • Rune-saving or infinite-casting effects can reduce the cost to 7 XP.

Emergency Casting

When mana is insufficient, spells can optionally consume XP directly.

If XP is also unavailable, additional payment methods can be enabled:

  • Health: missing mana is paid with HP.
  • Hunger: missing mana is converted into food exhaustion according to the configured ratio.

Magical Exhaustion

Attempting to cast without enough resources can trigger a magical backlash.

When enabled, a failed cast may inflict:

  • Weakness II — 5 minutes
  • Darkness — 3 minutes
  • Wither — 2 minutes
  • Additional sound and visual effects

This makes resource management an important part of powerful spellcasting.

Configuration

All major mechanics are configurable through the in-game config menu or:

config/experience_magic_core.toml
