Astral Core

✨ Astral Core

The magic-systems library behind Majestic: essence, spell casting, rituals, research and relics. Adds no content on its own — other mods build on it.

✨ Overview

Astral Core is the shared magic engine of the Majestic ecosystem. It ships no spells, rituals or relics of its own — it gives other mods (starting with Majestic itself) the frameworks to build them on top of: a single per-player essence resource, a spell-casting pipeline, a multiblock ritual engine, a per-player research graph, and a relic framework bridged to Regalia Slots API. If you were told to install this mod, it’s because another mod on your instance depends on it — most likely Majestic.

🎯 Features

🔮 Essence

A single, server-authoritative magic resource per player: capacity, passive regeneration out of combat, and stackable modifiers from any source (altars, biomes, relics, research). Synced to the client automatically.

✨ Spell Casting

A registrable spell-type system with a full cast pipeline (pre-cast → cost check → effect → post-cast), per-player cooldowns, targeting helpers (raycast, area, self, projectile), and client-side hooks for particles and sound.

🏛️ Ritual Engine

A multiblock altar framework: structure validation against a tag-matched shape, ritual phases and lifecycle, configurable failure risk, and NBT-persisted state — ready for any mod to build concrete altars and rituals on top of.

📖 Research Graph

A per-player knowledge graph of unlockable nodes with prerequisite checks, synced automatically, and a trigger API so other mods can report progress (“item obtained”, “structure entered”) without Astral Core needing to know what they mean.

💎 Relics

A relic behaviour contract (equip / unequip / passive tick / active ability) bridged to Regalia Slots API‘s equip slots, plus a set-synergy system for bonuses when multiple related relics are worn together.

🧱 Mod Structure

📋 Requirements

🎮 How to Use

1. Install as a dependency of another mod that requires it (e.g. Majestic), on both client and server.
2. Install Regalia Slots API alongside it.
3. There is nothing to configure directly — Astral Core has no player-facing content by itself.

Early development. Astral Core is still pre-release (0.0.0-beta.x) and its API may change between betas.
