Ars Additions in All the Mods 10

Ars Additions is an Ars Nouveau addon built around small tweaks and quality-of-life extras. This pack includes version 1.21.1-21.3.0. It isn't a big progression mod. It's a toolbox of conveniences, so it's best for you if you're already playing with Ars Nouveau and want more ways to get around, store things and decorate.^[1][2]

What it adds

• Structures: Ruined Warp Portals, which include an Explorer's Warp Scroll to help you discover new places, and the Nexus Tower, a wizard tower for easier teleportation around your world.^[1]
• Glyphs: Retaliate (Form) targets whatever last hit you within the last 5 seconds. Mark (Effect) and Recall (Form) work with the Unstable Reliquary to store a reference to a block or entity and cast a spell on it later.^[1]
• Functionality: the Warp Index gives remote access to your Storage Lecterns, with upgraded versions reaching across dimensions. The Ender Source Jar works like an Ender Chest for Source. The Wixie Enchanting Apparatus lets you automate Enchanting Apparatus recipes.^[1]
• Decoration: Ars-themed lanterns, Magelight Lanterns, matching chains, Sourcestone walls, Cracked Sourcestone and a painting called Snoozebuncle.^[1]

Where you'll meet it in the pack

In the Apothic Spawners chapter, the quest a quest in "Apothic Spawners" asks you to get the Source Spawner. It uses Source as fuel, and you need a Containment Jar holding the mob in the area to choose what it spawns.^[3]

In the Building Tips chapter, the quest "Ars Nouveau Lights" quest is about Magelights. You can place them with spells, or place a Magelight Lantern instead. The quest accepts the Light glyph or any of these lanterns: Magelight Lantern, Golden Magelight Lantern, Sourcestone Magelight Lantern, Polished Sourcestone Magelight Lantern, Archwood Magelight Lantern or Soul Magelight Lantern.^[4]

Ars Additions is an Ars Nouveau addon built around small tweaks and quality-of-life extras. Here is the order I'd tackle its items in, starting with the one the quest book points you to first.^[1]

Light up your base with a Magelight Lantern

The Ars Nouveau Lights quest in the Building Tips chapter introduces Magelights, light sources of pure magic. You can place them with spells, or you can craft a Magelight Lantern and place that instead. The pack changed this recipe, so follow the one below rather than what you remember from the mod's defaults. "Ars Nouveau Lights" quest^[4][5]

Craft a Handy Haversack

The Handy Haversack is a carrying item: you click items into it, or click it onto items. The pack changed its recipe, so use this one.^[5][6]

Later: the Source Spawner

The Source Spawner has its own quest in the Apothic Spawners chapter. It uses Source as fuel, and to decide which mob it spawns you need a Containment Jar holding that mob in the area. a quest in "Apothic Spawners"^[3]

Recipe id: ars_additions:apparatus/source_spawner

Ars Additions is an Ars Nouveau addon built around small tweaks and quality-of-life features, so you won't find big machines or multiblocks here. What it does add is a handful of systems for storing, moving and automating things with Source. Here's how each one works, as far as the sources explain it.^[1]

Mark, Recall and the Reliquary

The Mark glyph is an Effect that stores a reference to a block or entity inside a Reliquary. To bind one, hold the Reliquary in your offhand and cast a spell with Mark. The Recall glyph is a Form that reads that stored target and casts the spell on it. The Reliquary can also show a broken tether in its tooltip.^[1][6]

Retaliate is a Form that applies your spell to the last entity that dealt damage to you. The hit has to be within the last 5 seconds.^[1][6]

Source and storage

• Ender Source Jar: this works like an Ender Chest for Source. Place one in your base to fill it with Source, then carry another to reach that Source anywhere.^[1]
• Warp Index: gives you remote access to your Storage Lecterns. The upgraded (Stabilized) version adds cross-dimensional access. Its tooltip shows the coordinates and dimension it's bound to, and you open it with a keybind.^[1][6]
• Handy Haversack: its tooltip says to click items into the Haversack, or click the Haversack onto items.^[6]

Automation

Use a Wixie Charm on an Enchanting Apparatus to turn it into a Wixie Enchanting Apparatus. It can automate Enchanting Apparatus recipes, including applying enchantments.^[1]

The Wixie Cauldron also has a tooltip that reads "Output storage bound". The sources don't explain how that binding works, so check it in-game.^[6]

Rituals and exploration

The Ritual of Arcane Permanence force-loads the chunks around it, and it needs a constant stream of Source to keep running. Another ritual locates a nearby structure based on the augments you give it.^[6]

Ruined Warp Portals come with an Explorer's Warp Scroll. Throw it into the frame of a ruined warp portal, or press its keybind, to teleport. The tooltip shows whether it is still locating a structure, has located one, or failed to find one nearby.^[1][6]

Unverified The mod's own description says the chunk-loading ritual is fully configurable and disabled by default. No config files for this mod were available for this pack, so whether it is enabled here, and what its limits are, is unverified.

Charms and perks

Ars Additions adds a set of charms that give passive protection. The Fall Prevention Charm grants feather fall when you fall further than 3 blocks. The Undying Charm lets you keep going after fatal damage. The Void Protection Charm teleports you back to the last safe space you were on. Charm tooltips can also show a charging progress.^[6]

The Thread Reach perk increases your entity and block interaction distances by 1 for each level.^[6]

What the pack changes

The pack changes the crafting recipes for the mod's chains and for most of its lanterns, including the Magelight variants. Don't rely on the mod's default recipes for these. Here is the in-pack recipe for the Magelight Lantern.^[5]

Unverified The pack has shapeless "clear" recipes for the Handy Haversack, the Advanced Dominion Wand and the Jar of Miner's Wisdom. The sources don't say what they do, so their exact effect is unverified.

Ars Additions isn't on the ATM Star quest path, and the pack only has two quests that touch it. The mod has no formal tier system in the sources I have, so this page follows what the pack gives you: the quests, plus which recipes the pack changed. It works as a rough ladder from early lighting to endgame Enchanting Apparatus crafts.^[3][4][5]

Early: Magelight lanterns and Sourcestone building

Your first contact is the Building Tips quest "Ars Nouveau Lights" quest. It introduces Magelights, which are light sources of pure magic. You can place them with spells, or craft a Magelight Lantern and place that instead. The quest accepts the Light glyph or any of the lantern variants: Magelight Lantern, Golden Magelight Lantern, Sourcestone Magelight Lantern, Polished Sourcestone Magelight Lantern, Archwood Magelight Lantern and Soul Magelight Lantern.^[4]

The pack changed the base Magelight Lantern recipe, so don't rely on the mod's defaults. Here is the in-pack version:^[5]

The pack also changed the recipes for the Golden, Archwood, Soul and Sourcestone Magelight Lanterns. The plain lanterns and the chains (Golden, Archwood and Sourcestone) got the same treatment.^[5]

If you want the polished look, the pack adds a Create sandpaper polishing recipe that turns a Sourcestone Magelight Lantern into the polished version. Here it is:^[5]

The rest of the Sourcestone set, such as doors, trapdoors, buttons and walls, uses the mod's own recipes. The cracked variants come from the stonecutter. They are pure building blocks, so you can pick them up whenever you like.^[5]

Mid game: utility items the pack adjusted

Three utility items have pack-modified recipes. The Handy Haversack and the Wayfinder are both crafted at a regular crafting table.^[5]

Unverified No quest in the sources covers the charms, the Warp Index line or the rituals, so the pack doesn't guide you toward them. Any ordering of those items beyond the recipes above is unverified.

Ars Additions is an addon for Ars Nouveau, so in this pack nearly every connection to another mod runs through Ars Nouveau. The recipes below are the ones that mix items from both mods. Vanilla Minecraft items and shared item tags also show up in a few of them.^[1][5]

Enchanting Apparatus crafts

Many of the mod's functional items are made at Ars Nouveau's Enchanting Apparatus, and each one uses Ars Nouveau items as ingredients. That includes the Ender Source Jar, the Source Spawner, the Warp Index, the Unstable Reliquary, the Reach and the Charm of Void's Salvation.^[5]

Recipes the pack changed

Two Enchanting Apparatus recipes are marked as changed by the pack, so they differ from the mod's own versions: the Advanced Dominion Wand and the Jar of Miner's Wisdom.^[5]

The quest "Ars Nouveau Lights" quest in the Building Tips chapter ties this together. You can place Magelights with spells, or craft a Magelight Lantern and place that instead. Any one of the Magelight lanterns completes the task.^[4]

Glyphs

The Glyph Mark and Glyph Recall are crafted with Ars Nouveau's glyph recipe type. Mark is an Effect that stores a reference to a target block or entity inside a Reliquary, and Recall is a Form that uses a reference from a Reliquary to cast a spell on that target. The Unstable Reliquary is the item you use with them.^[1][5]

Sourcestone building blocks

Ars Additions builds its decorative blocks on Ars Nouveau's Sourcestone and Smooth Sourcestone. Doors, trapdoors, walls and buttons are crafted from them, and stonecutting converts between the stones and these blocks.

Ars Additions shows up in two quests in this pack, in two different chapters. Neither one is a big questline, but both point you at something handy.^[3][4]

Apothic Spawners: Ars Nouveau's Spawner

The quest a quest in "Apothic Spawners" sits in the Apothic Spawners chapter and has no title of its own. Its task is to get a Source Spawner. It unlocks after another quest in the chapter's progression, so you need to finish that prerequisite first.^[3]

The quest text explains that this spawner uses Source as fuel. To choose which mob it spawns, you need a Containment Jar holding that mob in the area.^[3]

Building Tips: Ars Nouveau Lights

The quest "Ars Nouveau Lights" quest is in the Building Tips chapter, and it also unlocks only after a prerequisite quest. It introduces Magelights, which are light sources made of pure magic. You can place them with spells, or you can craft a Magelight Lantern and place that instead.^[4]

The task accepts any one of several items, so you only need one of them:^[4]

• Glyph Light^[4]
• Magelight Lantern^[4]
• Golden Magelight Lantern^[4]
• Sourcestone Magelight Lantern^[4]
• Polished Sourcestone Magelight Lantern^[4]
• Archwood Magelight Lantern^[4]
