A lightweight add-on for Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks focused on side-grade magic: new spells, spellcasting weapons, curios, spellbooks, and utility blocks.

It does not add new mobs, spell schools, ores, biomes, or mandatory progression. Existing worlds can use the content without restarting, while newly generated villages may include a new profession villager.

Datapack Customization

This mod supports customization via datapacks.

You can add or modify several behavior definitions, such as spell-related profiles, deny lists, recipe-like data, and other configurable gameplay data.

Because the available options have grown large, detailed documentation has been moved to the GitHub Wiki.

See the datapack documentation here: https://github.com/hexqua/apprentice_codex/wiki

The documentation is currently written in Japanese.
If needed, please use your browser's translation feature.

Note:

• Datapack formats may change between mod versions.
• Please check the documentation page matching your mod version.
• In-game descriptions, tooltips, and JEI integration may not cover every datapack option.
