Description


ABOUT:
Forbidden & Arcanus is a magic, occult, and RPG progression mod centered around multiblock ritual forging, soul manipulation, and mythical artifacts.
Drawing inspiration from classic fantasy, mythology, and legendary mods like Thaumcraft, Forbidden & Arcanus blends seamlessly into Vanilla Minecraft with handcrafted pixel art and organic progression. Instead of menus and tech-style pipes, your power grows through physical multiblock altars, ancient relics, and arcane essence gathered from the world around you.
CORE FEATURES:
- The Hephaestus Forge: Construct and upgrade a centerpiece multiblock ritual altar. Channel Aureal, Souls, Blood, and Experience using arcane pedestals to craft powerful gear and artifacts across 5 forge tiers.
- The Clibano Furnace: Build a multi-block soul furnace capable of smelting ores faster and doubling your ingot yields by burning captured souls into new flame types.
- Mythic Gear & Item Modifiers: Forge Draco Arcanus and Tyr armor sets, wield specialized weapons, and imbue your tools with unique modifiers—including making items completely indestructible with the Eternal Stella.
- Arcane Utility & Relics: Capture mobs with Quantum Catchers, harvest endless essence from Arcane Crystal Obelisks, and equip specialized relics and trinkets. (More in active development!)
- Forbiddenomicon & Research: Uncover occult lore and unlock arcane recipes through an evolving research system. [In Development]
- Fully Customizable: Almost every ritual, forge recipe, and mechanic can be tweaked via Datapacks or Configs for effortless modpack integration.
Planned & Upcoming Features:
- Complete overhaul of magical mineral generation and harvesting.
- Dedicated Trinkets & Relics inventory system.
- Magic wands, staffs, and an expandable spellcasting & spell-evolution system.
- Aureal Corruption: Overusing magic risks corrupting the surrounding Overworld.
- New Mobs & Companions: Including Dracos, familiars, pets, and mounts.
- The Magnageon: A massive new dungeon structure packed with bosses and mini-bosses.
