Apprentice's Codex

New Content

Spells

• Added "Mist Form": A spell for resetting the flow of combat. It does not provide actual stealth.
• Added "Bound Sword": An easy way to dual-wield when a combat mod is installed.
• Added "Bound Bow": A time-honored ranged attack method dating back to the early days of Minecraft.
• Added "Inscribe Ice": It looks pretty cool when you manage to control an area with it.
• Added "Heavenly Fist": Knock enemies down, and flatten them while you are at it.
• Added "Mirage Avoidance": A magical invincible step that may feel familiar from somewhere.

Items

• Added "Satellite Followcast Amulet": More useful as a support tool than as pure follow-up damage.
• Added "Mana Thruster": A jetpack for a magic mod. Or maybe jet boots.
• Added "Charm of Jumpcast": A leg-mounted casting tool that works like an aerial jump alternative.
• Added "Ring of Spell Cast Parrying": A limited way to defend while staying on the offensive.
• Added "Magi-Compressor Gadget" (only when Create is installed): A belt that lets you use Create tools with Iron's mana.
• Added the "Spell Throwing Card" series: A low-cost, consumable early-game version of Twin Bladed Channeling Staff.
• Added "Spell-Revolvercast Staff": Cycle through and use many different spells just by swinging it.
• Added the "Maiden of the Elements" series: This is the true all-school armor set.
• Added "Staff of Zenith": An all-school-focused staff found at the end of the journey.

Changes / Tweaks

• Added broader support for counter-spell interactions.
• Reworked Crystal Bladed Staff.
  • It now fires Mana Slash when a normal attack misses.
  • Mana Slash can no longer be selected directly as a spell.
  • Changed Mana Slash cooldown to 0 seconds.
• Adjusted the upgrade conditions for Spell-Stained Runic Tablet and added server config support. (Mostly a nerf.)
• Nerfed Archivist's Grimoire because it was too strong from the start. Its early-stage performance has been greatly reduced, and server config support has been added.
• Added Better Combat support so the spell selection feature of Scrollcaster Gauntlet still works in the offhand even while holding a two-handed weapon.
• Added Epic Fight support for Scrollcaster Gauntlet, changing its behavior under Epic Fight. (Similar to Epic Fight's Grove.)
• Removed the ability to attach and remove scrolls through Spellcaster Workbench.
• Added the ability to attach and remove scrolls through Spell Calibration Bench.
• Changed Twin Bladed Channeling Staff so its spell activation when thrown no longer uses the Spell Dispenser handling.
  • As a result, the datapack format has changed. Please refer to the GitHub wiki for the updated information.
• Changed Mana Force Blade so releasing block immediately after a successful perfect guard no longer causes cooldown.
• Updated staffs and Scrollcaster Gauntlet that could use offhand shields and similar items with right-click, so bows, crossbows, and Spellguns can also be used.
• Added support for processing items placed on Create depots and conveyor belts.
• Added fireproof behavior to some items.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Simplified Chinese translations where the meaning differed from Japanese or English in-game text.
• Tried to improve some item icons.
• Fixed an issue where Swingcast-type items did not work when Epic Fight x Iron's Spells: Enhanced Animations was installed.
• Fixed a bug where dirt blocks from the inventory could move into the player's hand when using Earth Forge with auto-restocking mods installed.
