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]

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]

Tip: Heading for the ATM Star? The pack's ATM Star chapter includes a quest in "?", which asks for Forbidden and Arcanus items including Rune Block, a Quantum Injector and Arcane Crystal Block. It's worth working through this mod on your way there.[4]

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]

Tip: If you are running Mystical Agriculture, the pack adds a recipe that turns darkstone essence into Darkstone. Later on, that gives you a renewable supply of Darkstone.[5]

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]

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]

Watch out: This pack changes the recipes for both Mundabitur Dust and Deorum Ingot. If you learned the mod from an older video, check the in-pack recipes shown here instead of going from memory.[5]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

Tip: The mod's project page links a tutorial video that covers most things in the mod. It's worth watching if you want an overview beyond these recipes.[1]

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]

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]

Watch out: This pack changes the recipes for both Mundabitur Dust and the Deorum Ingot. Check the recipes shown here instead of relying on what you remember from other packs.[5]

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]

Once you've done the Darkstone and Deorum quests, a quest in "?" asks for 48 Polished Darkstone, 9 Gilded Chiseled Polished Darkstone, a Chiseled Arcane Polished Darkstone, 8 Darkstone Pedestal, a smithing table and Mundabitur Dust. Separately, a quest in "?" asks for 2 Arcane Crystal Block, an Arcane Polished Darkstone and Mundabitur Dust.[3]

Crafting Shapeless

Recipe id: forbidden_arcanus:gilded_chiseled_polished_darkstone

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]

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]

Tip: Stock up on Polished Darkstone early. One late quest alone asks for two stacks of 64 plus 8 more, and the pack's sandpaper polishing recipe gives you another way to make it from Darkstone.[4][5]

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]

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]

Pack-added recipe that uses the Smelter Prism.

Tip: The Forbidden and Arcanus quest chapter includes quests for both the Eternal Stella (a quest in "?") and the Smelter Prism (a quest in "?"), so follow the chapter to see where each one sits in the progression.[3]

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]

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

Tip: Several of these quests ask for large amounts of Polished Darkstone and Rune Block, so it pays to set up a steady supply of darkstone early.[3][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]

  1. The Rune leads to a quest in "?" (Test Tube). The Arcane Crystal leads to a quest in "?" (Arcane Crystal Dust).[3]
  2. Arcane Crystal Dust plus Mundabitur Dust unlock a quest in "?" (Deorum Ingot), which in turn opens a quest in "?" (Spectral Eye Amulet).[3]
  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]
  4. After Darkstone, a quest in "?" asks for 8 Polished Darkstone, 17 Polished Darkstone Bricks, a Clibano Core and Mundabitur Dust.[3]
  5. 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]
  6. 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]
  7. Artisan Relic plus the Clibano Core quest unlock a quest in "?" (Obsidiansteel Ingot), then a quest in "?" (Obsidian Skull).[3]
  8. 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]
  9. 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]

What changed in Forbidden and Arcanus between versions?

1 part

Forbidden & Arcanus has been in All the Mods 10 since version 2.2 or earlier. All the Mods 10 4.5 ships version 2.5.17 of the mod, built for Minecraft 1.21.1.[2]

The pack changelogs I have only record version bumps for this mod. They don't say what each update changed in gameplay, so below you get the order of the updates and nothing more.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15]

Pack update timeline

  • All the Mods 10 2.36: updated from 2.5.11 to 2.5.12.[15]
  • All the Mods 10 2.37: updated from 2.5.12 to 2.5.13.[14]
  • All the Mods 10 2.38: went back from 2.5.13 to 2.5.12.[13]
  • All the Mods 10 2.39: updated from 2.5.12 to 2.5.14.[12]
  • All the Mods 10 2.42: updated from 2.5.14 to 2.5.15.[11]
  • All the Mods 10 3.2: updated from 2.5.15 to 2.5.16.[10]
  • All the Mods 10 4.0: updated from 2.5.16 to 2.5.17, the version you still get in 4.5.[2][9]
Tip: In 2.38 the pack moved Forbidden & Arcanus back from 2.5.13 to 2.5.12, and 2.39 then jumped to 2.5.14. If you're updating an older world from around that point, that is the stretch of releases to watch.[12][13]

Unverified The reasons for the 2.38 rollback and the contents of each mod update (new features, fixes or balance changes) are unverified. No changelogs for the shipped jars are available.
