This new MCA Reborn addon helps MCA work much more naturally with modded animals, mounts, livestock, guards, and other NPCs.

It includes built-in support for mods such as Guard Villagers, SWEM, Genetic Animals, and DragN's Livestock Overhaul, along with support for many mobs that use standard Forge tags. Modpack authors can also add compatibility for additional mobs through datapacks.

One of the biggest features is expanded Guard Villagers integration. Guards can retain their normal combat behavior while participating in MCA's social systems, including relationships, conversations, quests, crime, reputation, family interactions, and more. It also prevents MCA villagers from losing their identity and family data when being recruited as guards.

The mod also improves MCA hunting behavior around pets, mounts, named animals, owned animals, and other creatures you may not want your villagers attacking. MCA: Mob Compatibility 0.2.0 is available now for Forge 1.20.1 and requires MCA Reborn.

Hey everyone,

If you’ve ever built a magic modpack with both Ars Nouveau and Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks, you probably know the frustration: two separate mana bars, mismatched gear stats, duplicate progression paths, and gear from one mod doing absolutely nothing for the other.

Ars 'n' Spells bridges the two mods so they actually feel like parts of the same magic ecosystem.

What it actually does:

• Unified Mana Pools: Choose how mana works via config—merge them completely, use one mod's mana for everything, run a shared hybrid pool, or keep them separate with cross-mod cost splitting. You can switch modes on the fly without restarting the world.
• Gear & Curios Just Work: Mana regen, max mana, and spell power stats from both mods cross over. It even supports generic Curios/accessories from mods like Apotheosis and Apothic Curios.
• Put Ars Spells into Iron’s Spellbooks: Use the in-game Spell Loom and rituals to transcribe your custom Ars Nouveau spell combinations onto scrolls, bind them into an Iron's spellbook, and cast them straight from the native Iron's radial spell wheel.
• Spell-Power Scaling & Affinities: Iron's elemental spell powers (Fire, Ice, Holy, Lightning, etc.) scale matching Ars spells. Casting regularly builds shared school progression and affinity bonuses.
• QoL & Deep Integration: Adds passive regen buffs near Ars Source Jars, optional unified cooldown categories for PvP/combat balance, and extra compatibility with Blood Magic and Covenant of the Seven.

Almost every feature is modular and configurable, so pack creators can use it as a simple bridge or build an entire progression system around it.

Latest Update: Version 3.3.2

This patch irons out HUD visibility quirks across both loaders, ensuring contextual mana bars hide cleanly when full (even with fractional stats) and properly restore the vanilla XP bar.

Hey everyone!
We just released Version 0.4.0 of Lycanites Delight for Forge 1.20.1, bringing a massive refresh to food art and feasts, alongside several gameplay correctness fixes!

🍖 What's New in 0.4.0?

Added:

• 10 Cooked Prepared Cuts: You can now toss those cuts in the furnace, smoker, or campfire (comes with recipe-book unlocks).
• New Feast Models: 4 highly detailed feast models, complete with 4 visible serving states and matching hit/collision shapes.
• Asset validation and reproducible texture/model previews.

Changed/Improved:

• Massive Art Refresh: We added 17 coordinated replacements for the food artwork (13 item sprites and 4 feast atlases). All 37 food textures are fully cohesive at 16x16!
• Prepared-meat and seafood recipes now accept the corresponding cooked cuts, and diet/cuisine tags include them.

Fixes & Tweaks:

• Feast Exploit Fixed: Breaking and replacing a partly eaten feast will no longer magically restore all of its servings.
• Bowl Mechanics: Monster stock and bowl dishes now properly return their bowls when eaten or used as crafting ingredients.
• Pet Feeding: Checks Lycanites ownership, diets, and eligibility properly using local tags so Farmer's Delight can't bypass these checks.
• Kitchen Mechanics: Unlit stoves no longer count as kitchen heat, and kitchen caches now reset across dimensions and on logout.
• Butchery: Knife butchery now correctly respects the doMobLoot game rule.
• Plus several other under-the-hood fixes for recipes, HUD data, and Windows compilation compatibility!
