What is Forbidden and Arcanus ?
1 part
Forbidden and Arcanus adds magical themed content in a style that could fit right into vanilla Minecraft. It also adds a large set of new building blocks. If you want magic that feels like part of the base game, or you're a builder looking for fresh block palettes, this mod is worth a look.[1]
All the Mods 10 4.5 ships version 2.5.17 of the mod. It has been in the pack since version 2.25 or earlier.[2]
Where it fits in the pack
The pack has its own Forbidden and Arcanus quest chapter to guide you. The early quests have you collect core materials like Darkstone, Rune, Stellarite Piece, Arcane Crystal, Mundabitur Dust and an Aureal Bottle.[3]
- Next come the darkstone builds. One quest asks for polished darkstone, polished darkstone bricks, a Clibano Core and Mundabitur Dust. A larger one adds gilded chiseled polished darkstone, Darkstone Pedestal blocks and a smithing table.[3]
- Metals and souls follow: Deorum Ingot, Obsidiansteel Ingot, the Soul Extractor, Edelwood Log and Dark Matter.[3]
- Later quests cover prisms like the Smelter Prism and Whirlwind Prism, plus the Quantum Catcher, Boss Catcher, Soul Binding Crystal and Eternal Stella.[3]
The mod also ties into other mods in the chapter. a quest in "?" pairs a Soul Extractor with Just Dire Things machines. a quest in "?" combines a Modular Machinery Reborn controller with Rune Blocks, a Quantum Injector, Arcane Crystal Blocks and a range of darkstone blocks.[3]
Unverified The quest data doesn't say what the larger darkstone build quests are for or which multiblocks they build. Check the in-game quest descriptions for details.
How do you get started with Forbidden and Arcanus ?
6 parts
Forbidden and Arcanus adds magical content and a lot of new building blocks. In this pack it has its own quest chapter, and following that chapter is the easiest way to learn what to make first. The quests have no titles, so this guide walks through them in order.[1][3]
Step 1: Gather the basic materials
The first set of quests asks for four raw materials: Darkstone in a quest in "?", Rune in a quest in "?", Stellarite Piece in a quest in "?" and Arcane Crystal in a quest in "?". The rest of the early chain is built on these, so collect some of each first.[3]
You get Arcane Crystal by smelting arcane crystal ores. You get Rune by smelting runic stones. Both also work in a blast furnace.[5]
Smelting

Unverified The sources don't say where Darkstone, arcane crystal ores, runic stones or Stellarite are found in the world.
Step 2: Arcane Crystal Dust and Mundabitur Dust
After the Arcane Crystal quest comes a quest in "?", which asks for Arcane Crystal Dust. You can smelt Arcane Crystal into dust, or craft the dust from Arcane Crystal Dust Speck.[3][5]
Smelting
Recipe id: forbidden_arcanus:smelting/arcane_crystal_dust_from_smelting
Next, make Mundabitur Dust for a quest in "?". You'll use it a lot, because several of the bigger early quests ask for it again.[3]

Step 3: Deorum Ingot
Once you have both dusts, a quest in "?" unlocks and asks for a Deorum Ingot. Deorum is a key material. For example, you need it to craft Arcane Polished Darkstone.[3][5]

Step 4: Darkstone blocks and the Clibano Core
After the Darkstone quest, a quest in "?" asks for 8 Polished Darkstone, 17 Polished Darkstone Bricks, a Clibano Core and a Mundabitur Dust. Once it's done, together with the Artisan Relic quest, you can move on to Obsidiansteel Ingot.[3]

The mod also has a clibano combustion recipe type that produces Arcane Crystal, Rune and Obsidiansteel Ingot.[5]
Unverified The sources don't confirm how the Clibano Core, Polished Darkstone Bricks and Mundabitur Dust are assembled into a working furnace.
Step 5: Aureal Bottle and Arcane blocks
a quest in "?" asks for an Aureal Bottle. After that and the Arcane Crystal quest, a quest in "?" wants 2 Arcane Crystal Block, one Arcane Polished Darkstone and a Mundabitur Dust.[3]

9 × Arcane Crystal

There's a quick side quest too: a quest in "?" unlocks after the Rune quest and asks for a Test Tube.[3]
Where this leads
Once you have Darkstone and Deorum, a quest in "?" asks for a big build kit: 48 Polished Darkstone, 9 Gilded Chiseled Polished Darkstone, a Chiseled Arcane Polished Darkstone, 8 Darkstone Pedestal, a smithing table and a Mundabitur Dust. Start stockpiling Polished Darkstone early.[3]
Unverified The sources don't state which structure this block set builds. It may be the Hephaestus Forge, but that is not confirmed here.
How does Forbidden and Arcanus work?
4 parts
Forbidden and Arcanus adds magical content in a style that fits vanilla, plus a lot of new building blocks. This section covers the crafting chains that can be confirmed for this pack. Every recipe shown here is the mod's own recipe as it's loaded in the pack.[1][5]
Arcane Crystal processing
Arcane Crystal and its dust show up in lots of the mod's recipes, so this is the chain you'll run most often. It covers Arcane Crystal Dust Speck, Arcane Crystal Dust, Arcane Crystal and the Arcane Crystal Block, and the pack's recipes below show each step, including packing crystals into a block and unpacking them again.[5]
Crafting Shaped
9 × Arcane Crystal

The dust chain feeds several more items. The pack's recipes below cover Arcane Bone Meal, the Aureal Bottle and the Aquatic Dragon Scale, which is the upgraded form of the plain Dragon Scale.[5]

Deorum upgrades
The Deorum Ingot is what turns ordinary building materials into their arcane versions. Polished Darkstone has an arcane counterpart, Arcane Polished Darkstone, and the pack loads the usual shaped variants on top of it: the Arcane Polished Darkstone Pillar, Arcane Polished Darkstone Slab, Arcane Polished Darkstone Stairs and Arcane Polished Darkstone Wall.[5]

Wood works the same way. Arcane Edelwood Planks is the arcane counterpart of Edelwood Planks, and those planks have their own Arcane Edelwood Door and Arcane Edelwood Trapdoor.[5]

Smithing templates and dragon items
You craft the Smithing Template from Darkstone and a vanilla netherite upgrade smithing template. That means you'll need a netherite template before you can make one.[5]
Crafting Shaped
Recipe id: forbidden_arcanus:apply_modifier_smithing_template
The mod also has a darkstone upgrade smithing template. Its tooltip says the base slot takes an armor piece, a weapon or a tool.[6]
If you've got a Golden Dragon Scale, you can combine it with a vanilla dragon egg to craft the Arcane Dragon Egg.[5]

The Hephaestus Forge
The mod adds a JEI category called Hephaestus Forge Upgrading. It also has an item called the Reinforced Deorum Blacksmith Gavel. Open that JEI category in-game to see how the forge's upgrades work in this pack.[6]
How do you progress through Forbidden and Arcanus ?
6 parts
Forbidden and Arcanus has its own quest chapter in this pack, and it's your best map through the mod. None of its quests have titles, so this section goes through them by what each one asks you to bring in, along with the in-pack recipes for each step.[3]
Starting out: raw materials
The chapter opens with four quests that all unlock from the same point: a quest in "?" for Darkstone, a quest in "?" for Rune, a quest in "?" for Stellarite Piece and a quest in "?" for Arcane Crystal. Two more quests, a quest in "?" and a quest in "?", ask for Mundabitur Dust and an Aureal Bottle.[3]
Arcane Crystal and Rune come from smelting or blasting blocks tagged as arcane crystal ores or runic stones.[5]
Smelting
- any arcane crystal ore
Recipe id: forbidden_arcanus:smelting/arcane_crystal_from_smelting
This pack also gives you other routes to these basics:[5]
- Theurgy incubation recipes, added by the pack, make Arcane Crystal, Rune and Stellarite Piece.[5]
- A pack-added crafting recipe turns Mystical Agriculture darkstone essence into Darkstone.[5]
- Productive Bees centrifuge recipes give Arcane Crystal, Rune and Stellarite Piece from the matching honeycombs.[5]
- A pack-added Create sandpaper polishing recipe turns Darkstone into Polished Darkstone.[5]
Dusts and Deorum
Once you have crystal, a quest in "?" asks for Arcane Crystal Dust. You can smelt or blast an Arcane Crystal to get it.[3][5]
Smelting
Recipe id: forbidden_arcanus:smelting/arcane_crystal_dust_from_smelting
a quest in "?" asks for a Deorum Ingot and unlocks after the Arcane Crystal Dust and Mundabitur Dust quests. Deorum then opens up a quest in "?" for the Spectral Eye Amulet.[3]

Clibano and Obsidiansteel
After the Darkstone quest, a quest in "?" asks for 8 Polished Darkstone, 17 Polished Darkstone Bricks, a Clibano Core and Mundabitur Dust.[3]
Crafting Shaped
Recipe id: forbidden_arcanus:clibano_core
That quest and the Artisan Relic quest, a quest in "?", both lead to a quest in "?" for the Obsidiansteel Ingot, which then opens a quest in "?" for the Obsidian Skull. There are two ways to make Obsidiansteel: through clibano combustion, or with a Modern Industrialization Runic Crucible recipe that the pack adds.[3][5]

Separately, a quest in "?" asks for 2 Arcane Crystal Block, an Arcane Polished Darkstone and Mundabitur Dust.[3]

The Allthemodium chapter also has a Forbidden and Arcanus step: a quest in "?" asks for Hephaestus Forge Tier 1, followed by a quest in "?" for Eternal Stella.[7]
Unverified The sources don't show how the Hephaestus Forge is assembled or how you raise it to higher tiers, so check that in-game.
Edelwood, souls and Dark Matter
a quest in "?" asks for a Corrupt Soul and leads to a quest in "?" for the Edelwood Log. From there you branch into a quest in "?" for the Soul Extractor and a quest in "?" for the Edelwood Bucket. The Soul Extractor quest leads on to a quest in "?" for a Soul.[3]

With Obsidiansteel and Edelwood done, a quest in "?" asks for Dark Matter and Corrupti Dust, then a quest in "?" asks for an Xpetrified Orb. The pack adds a simple way to get Dark Matter: smelt an Edelwood Log.[3][5]
Added by the pack
Late game: prisms and the Auto Forge
The prism quests (a quest in "?", a quest in "?", a quest in "?" and a quest in "?") all require the Elementarium quest, a quest in "?". a quest in "?" for the Soul Binding Crystal follows the Divine Pact quest, a quest in "?", and a quest in "?" asks for the Quantum Injector.[3]
In this pack, the Smelter, Sea, Terrastomp and Whirlwind Prisms, the Quantum Injector, the Soul Binding Crystal and the Runic Attuned Arcane Crystal all have pack-added recipes in Modern Industrialization's Automatic Hephaestus Forge.[5]

Runic Attuned Arcane Crystal
Other chapters in the questbook also build on this mod. a quest in "?" asks for the Auto Forge together with a Quantum Injector, Hephaestus Forge Tier 5, Arcane Crystal Obelisk blocks and several stacks of darkstone blocks. a quest in "?" pairs a similar block list with the Runic Crucible.[4]
How does Forbidden and Arcanus work with other mods?
4 parts
Forbidden and Arcanus is not an isolated magic mod in this pack. Its items show up in endgame crafts, its woods can be processed by other mods' sawmills, its planks become furniture, and several quests ask you to combine its blocks with machines from other mods. Here's how it all connects.[3][4][5]
Endgame crafting ingredients
The pack adds two big crafting recipes that pull in Forbidden and Arcanus items. The Oblivion Shard needs an Eternal Stella, alongside pieces from Cataclysm, EvilCraft, Steve's Carts and the Twilight Forest, such as the Void Forge and the Snow Queen Trophy.[5]
Crafting Shaped
| Empty slot | ||
Recipe id: allthemods:allthetweaks/oblivion_shard
Pack-added recipe that uses the Eternal Stella.
Philosopher's Fuel needs a Smelter Prism, together with power and fuel items from a long list of mods, including the Blaze Burner and the Ender Generator. If you're heading for these crafts, it's worth progressing Forbidden and Arcanus far enough to make both items.[5]
Crafting Shaped
| Empty slot |
Recipe id: allthemods:allthetweaks/philosophers_fuel
Pack-added recipe that uses the Smelter Prism.
Sawing the mod's wood
The pack adds sawing recipes so the Mekanism sawmill and the Productive Trees sawmill can turn the mod's logs and stems into Aurum Planks, Edelwood Planks and Fungyss Planks. The Mekanism versions also give you Sawdust as a byproduct.[5]
Sawing (mekanism)
- any edelwood log

Sawmill (productivetrees)
2× Sawdust
- any edelwood log
Recipe id: allthemods:productivetrees/sawing/forbidden_arcanus/edelwood_planks
Bibliocraft furniture
Bibliocraft furniture comes in Aurum, Edelwood and Fungyss wood versions, made from the matching slab plus wool. The set includes display cases, seats and several seat backs (small, flat, raised, tall and fancy), in wool colours such as black, blue and brown. For example, you can build a Blue Edelwood Display Case or a Black Aurum Seat.[5]

Quests that mix mods
- a quest in "?" asks for tier 2 Just Dire Things machines (Advanced Block Breaker, Advanced Block Placer and Advanced Clicker) together with a Soul Extractor.[3]
- a quest in "?" pairs a modular_machinery_reborn:controller with a Quantum Injector and a stack of Forbidden and Arcanus blocks, such as Rune Block, Arcane Crystal Block and Polished Darkstone.[3]
- a quest in "?" accepts either a Runic Attuned Arcane Crystal or a Turbo Upgrade.[3]
- In the ATM Star chapter, a quest in "?" combines a Runic Crucible with rune blocks, arcane crystal blocks, a Quantum Injector and darkstone blocks.[4]
- Also in the ATM Star chapter, a quest in "?" pairs a Automatic Hephaestus Forge with a Hephaestus Forge Tier 5, Arcane Crystal Obelisk blocks, Darkstone Pedestal blocks and plenty of polished darkstone.[4]
- a quest in "?" asks for a Runic Enchanter alongside a Quantum Injector, Arcane Polished Darkstone Pillar blocks, rune blocks and arcane crystal blocks.[4]
- The ATM Star chapter also has quests for Arcane Crystal (a quest in "?"), Mundabitur Dust (a quest in "?") and Corrupti Dust (a quest in "?").[4]
Unverified The block lists in these quests look like the materials for multiblock structures built around the Modern Industrialization and Modular Machinery Reborn machines. The provided sources don't confirm the structure layouts or what these machines produce.
Which All the Mods 10 quests use Forbidden and Arcanus ?
2 parts
Forbidden and Arcanus has its own quest chapter in this pack, and its items also turn up in three other chapters. Every quest in the mod's chapter is a simple 'get this item' task, so the chapter works like a guided checklist through the mod's progression.[3][4][7][8]
The Forbidden and Arcanus chapter
You can start with a quest in "?" (Mundabitur Dust) and a quest in "?" (Aureal Bottle), which have no listed prerequisites. After an earlier quest, four basics open up: a quest in "?" (Darkstone), a quest in "?" (Rune), a quest in "?" (Stellarite Piece) and a quest in "?" (Arcane Crystal).[3]
- The Rune leads to a quest in "?" (Test Tube). The Arcane Crystal leads to a quest in "?" (Arcane Crystal Dust).[3]
- Arcane Crystal Dust plus Mundabitur Dust unlock a quest in "?" (Deorum Ingot), which in turn opens a quest in "?" (Spectral Eye Amulet).[3]
- a quest in "?" needs the Aureal Bottle and Arcane Crystal quests done, then asks for 2 Arcane Crystal Block, an Arcane Polished Darkstone and Mundabitur Dust.[3]
- After Darkstone, a quest in "?" asks for 8 Polished Darkstone, 17 Polished Darkstone Bricks, a Clibano Core and Mundabitur Dust.[3]
- After Darkstone and the Deorum Ingot, a quest in "?" is a bigger build: 48 Polished Darkstone, 9 Gilded Chiseled Polished Darkstone, a Chiseled Arcane Polished Darkstone, 8 Darkstone Pedestal, a smithing table and Mundabitur Dust.[3]
- Another branch starts with a quest in "?" (Artisan Relic), a quest in "?" (Crimson Stone), a quest in "?" (Elementarium) and a quest in "?" (Divine Pact).[3]
- Artisan Relic plus the Clibano Core quest unlock a quest in "?" (Obsidiansteel Ingot), then a quest in "?" (Obsidian Skull).[3]
- a quest in "?" (Corrupt Soul) feeds into a quest in "?" (Edelwood Log), which opens a quest in "?" (Soul Extractor) and a quest in "?" (Edelwood Bucket). The Soul Extractor leads toward a quest in "?" (Soul).[3]
- Obsidiansteel plus Edelwood unlock a quest in "?" (Dark Matter and Corrupti Dust), followed by a quest in "?" (Xpetrified Orb).[3]
The late game branches out. a quest in "?" (Blacksmith Gavel Head) opens a quest in "?" (Ferrognetic Mixture), a quest in "?" (Quantum Catcher) and, together with Elementarium, a quest in "?" (Smelter Prism). The other prisms, a quest in "?", a quest in "?" and a quest in "?", also need Elementarium. The chapter also includes a quest in "?" (Quantum Injector), a quest in "?" (Eternal Stella), a quest in "?" (Boss Catcher) and a quest in "?" (Soul Binding Crystal), which comes after the Divine Pact.[3]
A few cross-mod quests close the chapter. a quest in "?" pairs a Soul Extractor with tier 2 Just Dire Things machines. a quest in "?" asks for a Modular Machinery Reborn controller plus a pile of the mod's blocks, including 4 Rune Block, 5 Arcane Crystal Blocks and 19 Polished Darkstone Stairs. a quest in "?" accepts either a Runic Attuned Arcane Crystal or a Modern Industrialization turbo upgrade.[3]
Other chapters
In one star-themed chapter, a quest in "?" (Arcane Crystal) leads to a quest in "?" (Mundabitur Dust). Three big build quests pair the mod's blocks with a Modern Industrialization machine: a quest in "?" (runic crucible), a quest in "?" (auto forge, including a Hephaestus Forge Tier 5) and a quest in "?" (runic enchanter). The crucible quest leads to a quest in "?" (Corrupti Dust). The auto forge quest leads toward five item quests: a quest in "?", a quest in "?", a quest in "?", a quest in "?" and a quest in "?".[4]
A second star-themed chapter starts with a quest in "?" (Arcane Crystal), which opens a quest in "?" (Smelter Prism) and a quest in "?" (Eternal Stella). It also has a quest in "?", a huge build that asks for a Modern Industrialization star altar alongside the mod's blocks, including 8 Arcane Crystal Obelisk and a Magnetized Darkstone Pedestal.[8]
The Allthemodium chapter has a quest in "?" (Hephaestus Forge Tier 1), followed by a quest in "?" (Eternal Stella).[7]
Unverified Some quests depend on quests from outside the listed chapters, and those prerequisite quests could not be identified from the quest files.
Which Forbidden and Arcanus config options matter?
Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide
Unverified We couldn't confirm any config options or values for Forbidden and Arcanus in All the Mods 10 8.1. The pack's config files for this mod weren't available, so we can't tell you which settings exist, what they're set to, or whether the pack changed anything from the mod's defaults.
If you're trying to change how the mod behaves or you run into a problem, the mod's project page points you to its Discord server for news, feature suggestions and support.[1]
