Veilborn Core

Veilborn Core is the custom mod at the heart of the Veilborn modpack. It turns a big magic modpack into one campaign: classes with real rules, a world drawn for the story, and boss fights staged like cutscenes.

It is built for the Veilborn modpack and is not supported on its own. Much of what it does assumes the pack's other mods, configs and quest book. If you want to play it, install the Veilborn modpack instead.

Classes

• Six classes (Sorcerer, Battlemage, Arcanist, Elementalist, Occultist, Witch-Alchemist), chosen at class sigils.

• Class locks: an item from another class's magic mods moves out of your hand or armor slot. It is never deleted.

• Trial bosses that unlock a second class, a one-time respec, levels and caps, and six skill trees (Pufferfish's Skills).

• Class ceremonies, class challenge items, and class wave trials.

  World

  • The veilborn:veilborn world type: a painted 10,000-block map with fixed continents, rivers and regions, a mountain border, and a smaller Nether border to match.

  • Story sites placed by the mod: the Sanctum, the town of Rivermeet, the Library, the Colosseum, the Hall of Trophies, boss arenas, ruins and wayside builds, plus roads that connect them, all built from generated structure templates.

  • The Sundered Reach region and the Breach Scar, veil seals that open for certain classes, and place names shown on entry.

  • Townsfolk (through Easy NPC) with homes, routines and shops.

    Combat

    • An encounter system: ready-up, intro cutscene, phases, a finisher hold, and rewards scaled by tier.

    • The Oathbreaker, a custom boss with its own arena, weapon and armor.

    • Credit for every player who fights a boss, trophies, Colosseum seals in five tiers, and Boss Spoils.

    • World tiers that rise with the story, and JEI recipes revealed stage by stage.

      Late game

      • The Sixfold Apparatus: cross-class research with 40 techniques, research fragments, and Founder's Echoes.
      • Founder's Regalia, The Ten Oaths, the Founder's Keys, and the Tomb of Exitium.

      Look and feel

      • Magic weather (starfall, aurora, arcane storms), a living Sanctum, a sky that changes at each stage, cast sigils, boss intros, and a light when you respawn. All of it is client-side and works with shaders.
      • Guided tours of the main places (skippable), a Codex book, and found lore.
