Ars Nouveau guide for All the Mods 10 0.32 to 0.46

Same as in the All the Mods 10 0.51 guide

Ars Nouveau is a magic mod inspired by Ars Magicka where you build your own spells instead of picking from a fixed list. You combine glyphs into custom spells, craft magical artifacts and trinkets, perform rituals, power magical machines, and put adorable magical servants to work automating your base.^[1]

It's a great pick if you enjoy systems you can tinker with: the spell you want probably isn't in the mod already, but the pieces to build it are. If you'd rather press a button and get a result, this one asks more of you up front and pays it back later.^[1]

This pack ships Ars Nouveau 5.0.12, and the mod has been part of the pack since at least version 0.42.^[2]

Where it fits in the pack

Ars Nouveau gets its own quest chapter, and the spine of it is the spell book upgrade path: you start with the Novice Spell Book in a quest in "?", move up to the Mage's Spell Book in a quest in "?", and finish at the Archmage Spell Book in a quest in "?".^[3]

Alongside that spine, the chapter walks you through the workshop blocks and the resources that feed everything else.^[3]

• a quest in "?" asks for the Dowsing Rod.^[3]
• a quest in "?" asks for the Scribe's Table, where you make spells into something you can use.^[3]
• a quest in "?" asks for the Imbuement Chamber, which then unlocks a quest in "?" for the Source Gem and a quest in "?" for the Source Jar.^[3]

From there the chapter fans out into a long list of individual glyph quests, one per glyph, grouped into tiers behind different parent quests. Those are your shopping list for spellcrafting rather than a strict order to follow.^[3]

Same as in the All the Mods 10 0.51 guide

Ars Nouveau documents itself entirely in game, so your real starting item is the Worn Notebook: it opens a Patchouli guide that walks you through the mod step by step, and the book itself recommends following each section in order.^[1][7]

The pack's quest chapter follows roughly the same path, so if you just work down the quests you will end up with a working setup. Here is that order, with the in-pack recipes attached.^[3]

Step one: the Novice Spell Book

The chapter opens with a quest in "?", which asks for a Novice Spell Book. Everything else in the mod hangs off having a book to cast from, so make this first.^[3]

Step two: Imbuement Chamber and your first Source Gems

Next come three quests that unlock together: the Imbuement Chamber in a quest in "?", the Scribe's Table in a quest in "?", and the Dowsing Rod in a quest in "?". Build the Imbuement Chamber first, because it is what turns amethyst shards into Source Gem, the resource everything later needs.^[3][8]

Step three: Source Jar and Sourcestone

Once you have Source Gems, a quest in "?" wants a Source Jar and a quest in "?" wants Sourcestone. The jar is your Source storage, and Sourcestone is the building block for the machines in the next step.^[3][8]

Step four: Arcane Pedestal, Arcane Core and Enchanting Apparatus

Sourcestone unlocks a quest in "?" for the Arcane Pedestal, and that in turn unlocks a quest in "?", which asks for both the Enchanting Apparatus and the Arcane Core. This is the setup you will use for most later crafts, so it is worth rushing.^[3]

Where to go from there

• The Source Jar quest branches into the sourcelinks: Agronomic Sourcelink, Vitalic Sourcelink, Volcanic Sourcelink and Mycelial Sourcelink, plus the Potion Jar and then the Alchemical Sourcelink.^[3]
• The Arcane Pedestal also unlocks a quest in "?" for the Ritual Brazier, which is the gateway to the whole ritual tree.^[3]
• Dozens of glyph quests sit alongside this chain, so expect a long shopping list once the Enchanting Apparatus is running.^[3]
• Book upgrades come later: a quest in "?" for the Mage's Spell Book and a quest in "?" for the Archmage Spell Book.^[3]

Mage's Spell BookMod recipe

Book Upgrade (ars_nouveau)

• Novice Spell Book
• 2× Quartz Block
• 3× any diamond gem
• any obsidian
• 2× any blaze rod

Recipe id: ars_nouveau:apprentice_book_upgrade

Upgrades your Novice Spell Book.

Same as in the All the Mods 10 0.51 guide

Ars Nouveau is built around crafting your own spells, making artifacts, performing rituals, powering magical machines and automating your base with magical servants. Nearly all of its documentation lives in-game in a Patchouli book, so the Worn Notebook is your real wiki while you play.^[1]

One pack detail to know up front: the book is not handed to you when you log in, because the pack leaves the login book option turned off. Craft the notebook yourself and keep it on your hotbar.^[1][9]

Mana and casting

Your personal casting resource is mana, and this pack runs the default tuning. The values below are the ones the server config actually uses, so you can work out exactly how much a spell book upgrade or a bauble buys you.^[10]

• Base pool is 100 mana, with a base regen value of 5 (the config measures regen in seconds).^[10]
• Every glyph you know adds up to 15 max mana and 0.33 regen, so a fat glyph collection is a real mana upgrade.^[10]
• Your spell book's tier adds up to 50 max mana and 1 regen.^[10]
• Mana Boost gives 25 max mana per level, and the mana regen enchantment gives 2 mana per second per level.^[10]
• Max mana and regen are recalculated every 5 ticks, so buffs take a moment to show on the bar.^[10]
• Infinite spell crafting is a beta feature and the pack keeps it disabled; if you ever turn it on, the extra glyph cap is 30.^[10]

Source: the power system

Source is the mod's version of power, and it lives in jars rather than cables. Once you have a jar of Source and an Enchanting Apparatus, you can start enchanting items, which is the first real use most players find for it.^[7]

Source is produced by sourcelinks, blocks that turn some other activity into Source. Two of the cheapest ones are craftable on a normal crafting table in this pack.^[8]

Apparatus crafting

Big Ars Nouveau recipes are not made in a GUI grid; you build them on the floor out of the mod's crafting furniture. The Arcane Pedestal is the standard piece, and the Arcane Platform is the flexible one: it can be placed in any direction and used in place of a pedestal, which is perfect for ceilings, walls or tucking a setup into a tight room.^[7]

Magical servants and automation

Instead of machines with item pipes, most Ars Nouveau automation is done by summoned creatures that carry, farm and collect for you.^[1]

• Drygmys collect mob drops by channelling nearby creatures. In this pack a drygmy must channel 20 times before it produces loot, makes 1 item per cycle as a base, gets 2 bonus items per unique mob nearby, and caps its per-entity bonus at 5 items.^[9]
• Each drygmy generation costs 1,000 Source, so plan on a proper sourcelink or two feeding the jar next to it.^[9]
• Whirlisprigs need 250 progress accumulated before they create resources, and consume 250 mana per generation.^[9]
• Starbuncles are your item couriers, and they can push items into other blocks the same way a hopper or a pipe would.^[11]
• Bookwyrms extend the Storage Lectern: each bookwyrm lets the lectern reach 8 more inventories.^[9]
• As a familiar, a bookwyrm instead acts as a magnet, picking up items and experience orbs within 5 blocks of you, though it ignores items you throw yourself.^[7]

Potion machines

The potion side of the mod is a small machine chain of its own: Potion Jars store brews, the Potion Melder combines them, the Potion Diffuser applies them to an area, and Potion Flasks carry them for you.^[7]

• A melder draws 200 potion from each input jar per cycle, where 100 equals one potion.^[9]
• It outputs 100 per cycle, meaning one potion out for two potions' worth in from each side.^[9]
• Each melder cycle also costs 300 Source, so it wants a Source supply as well as inputs.^[9]
• The enchanted flask's potion level cap is left at 255 in this pack, so it is effectively not a limit you will hit normally.^[9]

Containment jars and Occultism spirits

This pack ships the Occultism integration for Ars Nouveau, which adds compatibility between the two mods plus a pile of quality of life changes.^[4]

The headline feature is putting Occultism spirits inside Containment Jars. Jarred spirits keep their original behaviour and stop decaying, which makes them excellent permanent automation.^[11]

• A spirit jar automatically picks up matching items in a 7x7 area centred on itself, using the spirit's own filter, a crushing spirit grabs any ore it can process.^[11]
• You can also push items in with a hopper, with starbuncles, or with any pipe, or just right-click an item onto the jar.^[11]
• Spirits behave as normal inside the jar, so a Crusher Spirit processes items and flings the output out to one side.^[11]
• Janitor Spirits in jars get a special behaviour: they pick up nearby items and push them into the inventory next to the jar.^[11]

Turrets, runes and glyph storage

Spell Turrets and Runes let your spells run without you, and a few glyphs are written specifically for that. Blink is the standout: a turret or rune can warp entities using Warp Scrolls pulled from an adjacent inventory, and the scroll is not consumed, so one scroll runs a permanent mob teleporter.^[7]

The pack's quest chapter for this mod lays the whole mod out as one dependency tree, so the fastest way to progress is simply to follow it from the top. You start with a spell book, branch into your first crafting blocks, unlock Source production, and then open up the Enchanting Apparatus and ritual tiers that carry you to the end of the mod.^[3]

Spell book tiers

Spell books are the clearest tier ladder here. The chapter opens with a quest for the Novice Spell Book, which unlocks the quest for the Mage's Spell Book, which in turn unlocks the Archmage Spell Book quest. Each step is an upgrade recipe rather than a fresh craft, so you carry the same book forward.^[3][8]

Tier 3 book upgrade

Early tier: first blocks and Source

Three quests sit side by side as your opening kit: the Dowsing Rod, the Scribe's Table and the Imbuement Chamber. The Imbuement Chamber is the one that gates the rest of the tree, because the Source Gem quest comes straight after it.^[3]

Source Gems then split the tree in two. One side is the Source Jar quest, and the other is the Sourcestone quest that leads to all the machinery.^[3]

Source generation tier

Once you have the Source Jar quest done, four sourcelink quests open at the same time, so you can pick whichever fuel you have most of.^[3]

• Volcanic Sourcelink, Vitalic Sourcelink, Agronomic Sourcelink and Mycelial Sourcelink all unlock directly from the Source Jar quest.^[3]
• The Potion Jar quest also follows the Source Jar, and it gates the Alchemical Sourcelink quest behind it.^[3]

Apparatus tier

On the Sourcestone side, the Arcane Pedestal quest comes first, and it unlocks a combined quest for the Enchanting Apparatus and the Arcane Core. This is the biggest unlock in the chapter.^[3]

With the Apparatus done, a whole shelf of gear quests opens at once: the Enchanter's Wand, Dominion Wand, Enchanter's Sword, Enchanter's Shield, Enchanter's Mirror, Enchanter's Bow, the discount rings, the mana amulets, the belts, the light and voiding jars, and the Magebloom Seed.^[3]

• The Dominion Wand quest is the gate for all the familiar charms: Starbuncle Charm, Drygmy Charm, Whirlisprig Charm, Wixie Charm and the Amethyst Golem Charm.^[3]
• Magebloom runs its own short chain: Magebloom Seed into Magebloom Fiber, then Spell Parchment, then Runic Chalk.^[3]

Ritual tier

The Ritual Brazier quest also branches off the Arcane Pedestal, and every ritual quest in the chapter hangs off it, including Awakening, Flight, Warping, Scrying and Summon Wilden. You can build the brazier before you finish the Apparatus gear, so it is worth grabbing early.^[3]

Glyph branches

Glyphs are not one long line. The chapter splits them into three separate branches, each hanging off its own parent node, and every glyph inside a branch unlocks in parallel. That matches the in-game guide, which has its own entries for tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3 spells.^{[3][13][14][15]}

The smallest branch holds the heavy hitters like Glyph Wither, Glyph Hex, Glyph Blink, Glyph Orbit and the summon glyphs for vexes, decoys and undead, so treat that group as your late-game goal.^[3]

Unverified Which of the three quest-book glyph branches maps to tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3 in the in-game guide is not something the available pack files spell out.

Ars Nouveau doesn't live on its own in this pack. The recipes that tie it to other mods mostly fall into two groups: the pack's own sawing recipes for archwood, and the Ars Additions add-on, which builds on Ars Nouveau items.^[16]

Archwood and sawmills

The pack adds sawing recipes for archwood so you can process it in machines from other mods. Mekanism's sawing recipes turn archwood logs into Archwood Planks plus Sawdust. Productive Trees has matching sawmill recipes that give planks plus Sawdust. Both sets are added by the pack and cover the Blazing, Cascading, Flourishing and Vexing archwood types, including their stripped versions.^[16]

Other connections

The in-game guide describes Ars Ocultas as Occultism integration for Ars Nouveau, adding compatibility and interoperability between Occultism and Ars Nouveau along with many quality-of-life changes.^[4]

Same as in the All the Mods 10 0.51 guide

All the quests for this mod sit in a single chapter called ars_nouveau. None of them has a title, so they're identified by the item each one asks for. Nearly every quest asks for one item, and a few ask for two. Below they're grouped in the order they unlock. The first spell book quest, the first workstation quests and the three glyph groups unlock after quests that aren't part of this chapter's list.^[3]

Spell books

The book line is a simple three-step chain. First comes a quest in "?" for the Novice Spell Book. It unlocks a quest in "?" for the Mage's Spell Book, which in turn unlocks a quest in "?" for the Archmage Spell Book.^[3]

Workstations and Source

Three quests unlock together after the same earlier quest: a quest in "?" (Dowsing Rod), a quest in "?" (Scribe's Table) and a quest in "?" (Imbuement Chamber).^[3]

The Imbuement Chamber quest leads on to a quest in "?" for the Source Gem. That opens two paths: a quest in "?" for the Source Jar and a quest in "?" for Sourcestone.^[3]

Sourcelinks

The Source Jar quest unlocks four sourcelink quests: a quest in "?" (Volcanic Sourcelink), a quest in "?" (Vitalic Sourcelink), a quest in "?" (Agronomic Sourcelink) and a quest in "?" (Mycelial Sourcelink). It also unlocks a quest in "?" for the Potion Jar, and that one leads to a quest in "?" for the Alchemical Sourcelink.^[3]

Pedestal, apparatus and gear

The Sourcestone quest unlocks a quest in "?" for the Arcane Pedestal. From there you get a quest in "?", which asks for both the Enchanting Apparatus and the Arcane Core. The Arcane Pedestal quest also unlocks the ritual branch below.^[3]

The Enchanting Apparatus quest opens a wide set of quests, all available once it's done:^[3]

• a quest in "?": Belt of Unstable Gifts^[3]
• a quest in "?": both the Ring of Lesser Discount and the Ring of Greater Discount^[3]
• a quest in "?": Enchanter's Wand^[3]
• a quest in "?": Enchanter's Sword^[3]
• a quest in "?": Enchanter's Shield^[3]
• a quest in "?": Belt of Levitation^[3]
• a quest in "?": Enchanter's Bow^[3]
• a quest in "?": Enchanter's Mirror^[3]
• a quest in "?": both the Amulet of Mana Boost and the Amulet of Mana Regen^[3]
• a quest in "?": both the Jar of Light and the Jar of Voiding^[3]
• a quest in "?": Magebloom Seed^[3]
• a quest in "?": Dominion Wand^[3]

Two of those lead further. The Magebloom Seed quest leads to a quest in "?" (Magebloom Fiber), then a quest in "?" (Spell Parchment), then a quest in "?" (Runic Chalk). The Dominion Wand quest unlocks the familiar charms: a quest in "?" (Starbuncle Charm), a quest in "?" (Wixie Charm), a quest in "?" (Whirlisprig Charm), a quest in "?" (Drygmy Charm) and a quest in "?" (Amethyst Golem Charm).^[3]

Rituals

a quest in "?" asks for the Ritual Brazier and unlocks every ritual quest. Each of these asks for one ritual item:^[3]

• a quest in "?" (Overgrowth), a quest in "?" (Fertility), a quest in "?" (Awakening), a quest in "?" (Warping) and a quest in "?" (Restoration)^[3]
• a quest in "?" (Scrying), a quest in "?" (Summon Wilden), a quest in "?" (Moonfall), a quest in "?" (Disintegration) and a quest in "?" (Sunrise)^[3]
• a quest in "?" (Burrowing), a quest in "?" (Cloudshaping), a quest in "?" (Binding), a quest in "?" (Challenge) and a quest in "?" (Flight)^[3]

Glyphs

The glyph quests make up most of the chapter. Each asks for one glyph item, and they split into three groups depending on which earlier quest unlocks them. Those earlier quests aren't in this chapter's list.^[3]

• First group, part 1: a quest in "?" (Glyph Harm), a quest in "?" (Glyph Leap), a quest in "?" (Glyph Dispel), a quest in "?" (Glyph Amplify), a quest in "?" (Glyph Craft), a quest in "?" (Glyph Bounce), a quest in "?" (Glyph Summon Steed)^[3]
• First group, part 2: a quest in "?" (Glyph Break), a quest in "?" (Glyph Pickup), a quest in "?" (Glyph Toss), a quest in "?" (Glyph Interact), a quest in "?" (Glyph Sensitive), a quest in "?" (Glyph Phantom Block), a quest in "?" (Glyph Place Block)^[3]
• First group, part 3: a quest in "?" (Glyph Pull), a quest in "?" (Glyph Gust), a quest in "?" (Glyph Delay), a quest in "?" (Glyph Redstone Signal), a quest in "?" (Glyph Harvest), a quest in "?" (Glyph Cut), a quest in "?" (Glyph Ignite)^[3]
• First group, part 4: a quest in "?" (Glyph Evaporate), a quest in "?" (Glyph Freeze), a quest in "?" (Glyph Snare), a quest in "?" (Glyph Underfoot), a quest in "?" (Glyph Rune), a quest in "?" (Glyph Light), a quest in "?" (Glyph Summon Wolves), a quest in "?" (Glyph Launch)^[3]
• Second group, part 1: a quest in "?" (Glyph Cold Snap), a quest in "?" (Glyph Conjure Water), a quest in "?" (Glyph Extend Time), a quest in "?" (Glyph Sense Magic), a quest in "?" (Glyph Smelt), a quest in "?" (Glyph Pierce), a quest in "?" (Glyph Slowfall)^[3]
• Second group, part 2: a quest in "?" (Glyph Exchange), a quest in "?" (Glyph Heal), a quest in "?" (Glyph Invisibility), a quest in "?" (Glyph Aoe), a quest in "?" (Glyph Ender Inventory), a quest in "?" (Glyph Name), a quest in "?" (Glyph Decelerate)^[3]
• Second group, part 3: a quest in "?" (Glyph Extract), a quest in "?" (Glyph Gravity), a quest in "?" (Glyph Fell), a quest in "?" (Glyph Explosion), a quest in "?" (Glyph Accelerate), a quest in "?" (Glyph Duration Down), a quest in "?" (Glyph Dampen)^[3]
• Second group, part 4: a quest in "?" (Glyph Fortune), a quest in "?" (Glyph Crush), a quest in "?" (Glyph Wind Shear), a quest in "?" (Glyph Flare), a quest in "?" (Glyph Firework), a quest in "?" (Glyph Grow)^[3]
• Third group, part 1: a quest in "?" (Glyph Split), a quest in "?" (Glyph Linger), a quest in "?" (Glyph Lightning), a quest in "?" (Glyph Fangs), a quest in "?" (Glyph Summon Vex), a quest in "?" (Glyph Summon Decoy), a quest in "?" (Glyph Hex)^[3]

Ars Nouveau has a client config (visuals and HUD) and a common config (gameplay). Below are the options you're most likely to touch, with the exact values this pack ships.^[17][18]

Unverified The pack files show the values they set, but not the mod's own defaults. I can't confirm which of these the pack changed from default, so none of them are labelled as pack changes.

Dynamic lights (client)

• lights.lightsEnabled is false, so Ars Nouveau's dynamic lights are off in this pack. The item and entity light lists only apply when you turn it on.^[17]
• lights.touchLightLuminance is 8 (range 0 to 15) and lights.touchLightDuration is 8 ticks (range 0 to 40).^[17]
• lights.item_lights gives held items a light level, for example torch at 14, glowstone at 15 and lava bucket at 15. lights.entity_lights covers entities such as ars_nouveau:spell_proj at 15 and minecraft:blaze at 10.^[17]

Display and rendering (client)

• misc.glyphTooltips is true, so spell tooltips show glyphs instead of plain text.^[17]
• misc.gui_transparency is true. The config comment says to disable it if the book GUI crashes with Sodium derivatives.^[17]
• misc.disable_skyweave is false. The comment points to this option if your sky looks broken with shaders.^[17]
• misc.opaque_particles is false. The comment says to change it if particles are invisible with shaders.^[17]
• The Mana Bar offsets overlays.xManaBar and overlays.yManaBar are both 0. The tooltip offsets overlays.xTooltip and overlays.yTooltip are 20 and 0.^[17]

World and mobs (common)

• general.spawnBook is false, so you don't get a book in your inventory on login.^[18]
• item.spawnTomes is true, so Caster Tomes can appear in dungeon loot.^[18]
• general.defenderHuntsAnimals, general.hunterHuntsAnimals and general.stalkerHuntsAnimals are all false, so the Wilden Defender, Hunter and Stalker don't attack animals.^[18]
• general.destructiveDiveBomb is true, so the Wilden Chimera dive bomb destroys blocks.^[18]
• general.archwoodForest spawn weight is 2, and general.dimensionBlacklist is empty, so no dimensions are blocked from hostile mob spawns by this option.^[18]

Automation and machines (common)

• general.bookwyrmLimit is 8 inventories per lectern for each bookwyrm.^[18]
• Drygmys: drygmy_production.drygmyManaCost is 1,000 source per generation, drygmy_production.drygmyMaxProgress is 20 channels before loot, drygmy_production.drygmyBaseItems is 1 base item, drygmy_production.drygmyQuantityCap is 5 bonus items from nearby entities, and drygmy_production.drygmyUniqueBonus is 2 per unique mob.^[18]
• Whirlisprigs: general.sylphManaCost is 250 mana per generation and general.whirlisprigProgress is 250 progress before they create resources.^[18]
• Melder: block.melderInputCost is 200 per input jar, block.melderOutput is 100 per cycle, and block.melderSourceCost is 300 source per cycle. In these potion values, 100 equals 1 potion.^[18]

Items and debugging (common)

• item.jumpRingCost is 30, so the Ring of Jumping uses 30 mana per jump.^[18]
• block.enchantedFlaskCap is 255, the max potion level the enchanted flask can grant.^[18]
• debug.maxLogEvents is 100 log events kept on entities. The comment warns that lowering it can make it harder to debug stuck entities.^[18]
