My first attempt at a minecraft mod

Magika-Reborn

Inspired by Ars Magica 2, Skyrim, Borderlands and Final Fantasy 12, this magic-based Minecraft mod allows the player to explore their abilities in a new way.

Key Features

• At the beginning, the player has no mana regeneration. They must unlock augments to gain mana from a variety of sources and actions.
• Spells have randomly generated stats meaning the player must level up to be able to craft a more powerful version.
• To unlock the next tier of abilities, players must level up the abilities they currently have.

Credit

• I learned from the tutorials on http://jabelarminecraft.blogspot.com and https://wiki.mcjty.eu/modding/index.php
• I looked at the source code for Ars Magika 2, Immersive Engineering and Tinkers Construct for coding guidance.
• Some of the spell artwork from J. W. Bjerk (eleazzaar) -- www.jwbjerk.com/art -- find this and other open art at: http://opengameart.org

Feedback

• Got an idea? Great! Let me know.
• Don't like my code? That's OK. I'm a C# developer so may not have written this mod in the "Java way". Feedback is always welcome.
• Coded a fix or new feature? Awesome, send me a PR.
