Official Documentation Link

Axo Tales is a magic-focused mod. It adds custom items, recipes, world content, and server-side gameplay logic.

This project is open-source.

Spellbooks

• Healing Book: LMB fires a healing bolt; RMB fully heals you.
• Teleport Book: RMB teleports you to the block you’re looking at.
• Mining Book: RMB mines a shaped patch around the targeted block.
• Immunity Book: RMB grants brief damage immunity.
• Taunt Book: RMB launches you upward and slams on landing for area damage.
• Horde Book: RMB summons a short-lived brute horde that fights for you.
• Book of Doom: RMB hurls a Doom Ball projectile.
• Morph Book: RMB fires a morph vortex to steal a target’s form; LMB restores your own.
• Frost Book: RMB launches a frost shard that slows foes and turns terrain to snow brick.
• Flame Book: RMB launches a flame bolt that burns foes and turns terrain to volcanic rock.

Potions (Alchemybench)

• Axo’s Empty Potion Bottle is required for brewing every Axo Tales potion.
• Swift Potion: movement speed buff.
• Strength Potion: doubles outgoing damage for a short time.
• Rabbit Potion: jump height buff.
• Invisibility Potion: hides you from other players for a short time.
• Curse Potion: thrown splash vial that explodes in cursed damage.

Gear

• Sa’r set (Boots / Diadem / Armor / Warfists): mana bonuses + regen while worn; boots add movement/jump/stamina/fall immunity.
• Invisibility Cloak: keeps you invisible while worn and dulls nearby NPC aggression; increases max mana.

• Kudu Boots: walk on water by turning water beneath you into snow brick; increases max mana.

• Axo’s Ancient Sword: sky-blue trail; RMB casts an Ancient Slash at a mana cost; carrying it increases max mana.

Blocks / Ores

• Arcane Crystal: Spawns around the world
• Arcane Crystal Shards: a craft ingredient.
• Arcane Matter: a craft ingredient.
• Arcane Matter Ore: generates in stone and volcanic rock (worldgen is configurable).
• Arcane Grass: a custom grass block.

NPC encounters

• Kudu Rune Knight: configurable spawns and drops (Kudu Boots / Frost Book drop chances, spawn interval, etc.).
• Kudu Adept Magician: optional (disabled by default); configurable.
