Mana

Unlocking and using mana

Take damage and use Draw Mahoujin shortly afterward. Successfully drawing the blood circle makes the mana display appear.

Casting and maintaining spells consumes mana. MANA_UP_COUNTER controls how much must be spent before MANA_INCREASE is added to maximum mana, up to MAX_MANA_CAP.

Mana regenerates naturally. MANA_REGEN_HUNGER_FACTOR controls how hunger modifies passive regeneration, and MANA_RECOVERY_SLEEP controls the share of maximum mana restored by sleeping.

Storage and spell draw order

When a spell needs mana, it first uses personal mana, then mana stored in a carried attuned gem, and finally an active Mana Circuit in range. An Attuned Diamond has more storage than an Attuned Emerald; see the attuned gems guide for charging and capacity settings.

The standard Mana Circuit and Magitech Mana Circuit share the same controls. Right-click an unowned circuit to claim it, right-click with an empty hand to move personal mana into it, and sneak-right-click to toggle it. A redstone signal reverses its selected on/off state.

Circuits normally serve their owner within the configured horizontal range. The owner can use Fae Essence on a circuit to toggle shared access, allowing it to supply other players' applicable magic.

Spells that generate mana

Damage Exchange

Chronal Exchange

Durability Exchange

Boundary of Drain Life

Geas

Carrying William can add mana during personal regeneration. R'lyeh can reduce it.

The contribution is style × max(0, fame) × WILLIAM_PERSONAL_MANA_FACTOR. When several artifacts are carried, only the strongest positive William value and strongest negative R'lyeh value apply.

Generating mana for circuits

Kodoku provides one automation route. Place a charged Kodoku worm in the world and kill it with fire, burning, or lava. Its stored value and the local leyline value determine how much mana is added to active nearby Mana Circuits.

A placed William periodically generates mana from its positive style and fame, then divides that mana among non-full circuits owned by its creator within the configured range. A placed R'lyeh drains personal mana from nearby players.

Leylines and leypoints

Leylines connect regularly spaced leypoints throughout enabled dimensions. They are visible while Mystic Eyes of Fay Sight is active.

For mana regeneration, the game examines a seven-by-seven horizontal area centered on the player. Ordinary leyline segments contribute 1 to the local ley value, crossings contribute 2, and leypoints contribute 3.

Scaling calculation

When LEY_AFFECTS_MANA=true and LEY_FLAT=false: LEY_PUNISHMENT + (local ley value ÷ 19 × maximum mana × LEY_FACTOR).

Flat calculation

When LEY_FLAT=true: LEY_PUNISHMENT + (LEY_FACTOR × local ley value ÷ 19). This value does not scale with maximum mana.

The game converts the leyline adjustment to a whole number and adds it to the other regeneration sources. Leyline adjustments apply only in included dimensions.

Fae spawn near leylines and are attracted to magic performed at leypoints. Flying with an elytra along a leyline also provides a boost.

LEY_DISTANCE controls leypoint spacing, and LEY_OFFSET moves the grid. Servers can also change the dimension list, regeneration effect, and related behavior.
