If you've ever wanted to build your own addon for Iron's Spells and Spellbooks but dreaded writing mob AI, boss systems, and casting animations from scratch, Spell Utils Mod is the shortcut you need. Created by Ace_The_Eldritch_King, this utility API hands developers a complete toolkit of pre-built classes and systems — from spellcasting mobs to dynamic boss music — so they can focus on designing creative content instead of reinventing the wheel. While it's primarily aimed at mod developers rather than regular players, anyone using addons that depend on it will need it installed.
Key Features
- Spellcasting Mob Framework — A custom mob class that supports long, instant, and continuous casting animations, plus a Wizard spell combo AI behavior that lets mobs chain spells intelligently during combat.
- Boss Entity Classes — Includes both a generic boss class for quick boss creation and a unique boss class designed for entities with custom models and spellcasting abilities.
- Dynamic Boss Music — A built-in boss music manager that handles music transitions during boss fights, adding cinematic atmosphere without extra coding effort.
- Imbueable Items & Equipment — Ready-made classes for imbueable curio items, imbueable staffs, sheath curio support, and custom item rarities to expand gear variety in addons.
- Custom Attributes — Four new attributes out of the box: Mana Steal, Mana Rend, Hunger Steal, and Evasive, giving addon creators more RPG-style mechanics to work with.
- Helper Utilities — A collection of reusable helper classes for spells and mobs, along with various pre-made casting animations to speed up development.

FAQ
Do I need Spell Utils Mod if I'm not a developer?
You only need it if another mod or addon you're using lists Spell Utils as a dependency. On its own, it doesn't add any gameplay content — it's a behind-the-scenes library that other mods build on.
Does Spell Utils work with Forge or Fabric?
No. Spell Utils currently supports NeoForge only. There is no Forge or Fabric version available based on the current release.
Is Spell Utils compatible with other magic mods besides Iron's Spells?
Spell Utils is specifically designed as a utility library for Iron's Spells and Spellbooks addons. Its classes and systems are built around that mod's framework, so it is not intended for use with unrelated magic mods.
