Nordic Arcanum

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Please keep in mind this project is W.I.P and spell-casting is not yet implemented, we decided to do an early release so people could get the world gen and begin the process to becoming a spellcaster.

Nordic Arcanum is an Ancient Norse themed magic mod.

Explore the world to find strange ancient pillars, underground lakes of liquid magic, ores of all kinds and begin your journey into the world of giants, elves, dwarves, and the Aesir gods!

Cast spells, become an alchemist and decorate your world with some fantastic looking blocks!

Getting Started:

Ancient Pillars and shrines to the gods are scattered throughout the land. Find one to get instructions on how to craft your first staff and start your journey into a world of magic, mystery and adventure! Different staff schematics are randomly generated at every shrine and pillar, so if you want to fully customise your staff, you might want to go on a pilgrimage to find each type!
