1.2.4
Compatibility
Changes
🌀 Bladebound v1.2.4
This update focuses on stability fixes to core magic systems and introduces a powerful new Ancient spell alongside long-requested quality-of-life improvements for spell progression.
✅ Fixes
🛡️ Defensive Magic Restored
Defensive Magic (Mana Barrier) is fully functional again. The barrier entity now spawns correctly, tracks the player properly, and blocks incoming damage as intended.
🌐 World Rewrite Boundary Fixed
The World Rewrite spell’s bounding sphere now renders and persists correctly for the full duration of the spell.
✨ New Content
🕳️ New Ancient Spell – Black Hole
A devastating Ancient-tier spell that creates a singularity which pulls in entities, terrain, and projectiles, dealing escalating damage before collapsing in a final burst.
Black Hole is obtained by defeating the Warden and is a one-time Ancient drop.
📜 Spell Scrolls Added
All non-Ancient spells can now be crafted into spell scrolls.
Scrolls allow you to cast spells directly without needing to equip a staff, consuming mana but ignoring cooldowns.
This gives meaningful use to duplicate grimoires and enables flexible spell usage in combat and exploration.
⚠️ Exceptions
- Ancient spells cannot be converted into scrolls.
- Defensive Magic (Mana Barrier) is intentionally excluded from scrolls.
Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
