Since Minecraft is a sandbox game, almost anyone can create third-party features for it. These features are shared as texture packs, data packs, and mods. Mods are incredibly popular in the community since they have the ability to add brand-new features like mobs, structures, and gameplay mechanics. Some of the most used types of mods are those that are magic-related.
Minecraft itself has several magical features like enchanting, flying, and more. However, certain mods take this factor to the extreme, not only changing the look of items and the GUI to look more mythical but also adding mobs and abilities that are even more mystical than what the vanilla version offers.
Listed below are some of the best magic mods for Minecraft.

15 brilliant magic mods worth checking out for Minecraft in 2024
1) Thaumcraft
Thaumcraft is arguably the most famous Minecraft mod for magic and sorcery. It introduces a new way of magic called thaumaturgy, which players can practice to draw magic from physical objects and use them in various ways.
Players will start off by crafting a wand through which they can perform basic magic miracles.
2) Blood Magic
Blood Magic is another famous mod that has over 75 million downloads on the CurseForge website. It is an aggressive and somewhat gruesome magical mod that requires players to obtain and utilize blood to harness vast amounts of magical power. However, if players use the power to perform magic, it can prove quite fatal for them as well.
This is an excellent mod for those who want an edgy and dark magical mod.
3) Hexerei
Hexerei is another fascinating Minecraft mod that adds a bunch of mystical and powerful items to the game that players can craft as witches with the help of various tools.
Players can collect and store special herbs and artifacts and use them to craft new items added by the moderator. The mod even adds a biome called Willow Swamp, with new trees, huts, and more.
4) Ars Magica 2
Ars Magica 2 adds loads of spells, mob bosses, new structures, and items to Minecraft.
To start the magical journey, players first need to find a pool of a special liquid called Essense. They then need to place a book inside an item frame on a two-block-tall tower right in front of the pool. This will give them the Arcane Compendium, from which their journey will begin.
5) Occultism
If players want a horror-inducing magical mod for Minecraft, Occultism is one of the best. It adds a completely new ritual system that players can perform to summon spirits to automate tasks, store vast amounts of items, and create powerful enchanted jewelry and tools.
The mod also has a dictionary of spirits and in-game guides to help new players.
6) Astral Sorcery
Astral Sorcery, as the name implies, allows players to harness powers from celestial bodies in space and use them to strengthen their in-game characters and enhance the world around them. It also adds loads of special items, blocks, and activities that players can interact with in order to obtain powers from constellations and other planets.
The mod has an in-game journal that guides new players through the features.
7) Magical Crops
In the vanilla version of Minecraft, players need to mine for hours, fight enemies, and travel the world in order to obtain resources. Through this mod, however, they can get various kinds of resources simply by farming magical crops. From lapis lazuli to copper, tin, lead, and other new earth materials, everything can be obtained by farming their special crops.
Magical Crops is the perfect mod for players who are into farming.
8) Primal Magick
This magic mod for Minecraft sees players drawing power from the land itself. After finding a new ancient shrine structure in the Overworld, players will sleep and have an inspiring dream that unlocks their magical potential. Then, by combining a stick and the magical dust found underneath shrines, fans can create a wand and use it on a bookshelf to open themselves up to the world of magical research.
With several magical disciplines to learn, rune crafting to add enchantments to gear, and hundreds of recipes for spells and magical items via the arcane workbench block, players can become powerful sorcerers who can fling spells and create incredible mystical augments.
9) Spectrum
Countless magic mods in Minecraft are inspired by different sources of arcane power, and Spectrum bases its magical source on color. Players get started just by finding a geode in their world, they set themselves on a path to uncovering more magical abilities that they can extract from several new in-game blocks and structures that can now be found or built in the game world, and the progression system is incredibly robust and mysterious to boot.
According to the developers, Spectrum is meant to be a journey, not a destination, and therefore encourages players to progress through it and make magical discoveries alongside an ordinary Survival Mode playthrough. Moreover, there’s a ton of customization when it comes to in-game structures that can be built, allowing players to express their creativity as they unlock the secrets of the arcane.
10) Archon
Archon isn’t the most popular Minecraft mod out there, but it does have plenty to offer fans who love magic. It introduces several new and unique spells complete with their own effects, adds elemental weapons that can deal different types of damage to targets, and also brings along the ability to raise others from the dead with necromancy and even has a collection of summonable bosses.
To help players avoid exhausting their magical potential, Archon also integrates a mana system, giving fans a replenishable reserve of mana to enact their spells. All in all, Archon isn’t reinventing the wheel by any stretch, but it’s a great standalone mod that can also complement many other magic mods that are compatible with it.
11) Spirit
If Minecraft fans have seen soul fires, soul sand, or soul soil and have wished that they were more useful, then Spirit might be the mod for them. This mod utilizes soul fire to “engulf” objects, giving them access to potent soul magic that is strengthened by killing enemy mobs and harvesting their souls to create spirits, which can then be used to fuel magical acts like gear enhancement, crafting, summoning mobs, and even transmuting mobs into other mobs.
Since the Spirit mod operates on the soul concept already seen in Minecraft, it’s a great way to add a mod for immersion that feels as though it could be part of the game’s vanilla releases. It sticks to the core values of the game without getting too complex or feeling too foreign to the game mechanics, creating a balanced blend of improving magic in the game while keeping it plausible within the game world that Mojang has designed.
12) Bewitchment
While many Minecraft magic mods focus on the aspect of wizardry and sorcery, Bewitchment gives players magical capabilities through witchcraft. However, compared to the game’s witch mobs, Bewitchment provides a power that they could never match. Players can enter pacts with demons, brew breathtaking potions beyond the scope of vanilla, and even transform into a vampire or werewolf to give themselves new combat capabilities.
To get started, fans should break some grass to get mandrake seeds, grow them into mandrake roots, and then combine them with a book on the crafting table to create the Book of Shadows, which will unlock their access to a wide world of witchery.
13) Iron’s Spells ‘n Spellbooks
Inspired by classic RPG games and other RPG mods/modpacks, Iron’s Spells ‘n Spellbooks is a mod that gives players the feeling of a traditional fantasy roleplaying game wizard. It includes over 60 spells that can be upgraded for improved effectiveness, dozens of new pieces of gear, new ways to imbue weapons with additional effects, as well as new means to upgrade armor, including the new wizard robes introduced in the mod.
Even better, Iron’s Spells ‘n Spellbooks introduces five new generated structures to explore and conquer, five additional enemies to battle, and a boss to confront. All in all, it’s one of the more complete magic mods available for Minecraft for fans who love the traditional RPG aesthetic and functionality.
14) Amethyst Imbuement
If Minecraft players wished they could get a little more out of gems or crystals found in-game, then this mod is one way to accomplish that in a magical sense. Through the process of imbuing their crafting with various crystals and gems like amethyst, players can expand the size of their crafting grid and recipes, increase their enchantment levels up to 60, and access enchantments that aren’t seen in the vanilla build of the game.
As a huge bonus, Amethyst Imbuement introduces spellcasting scepters, powerful magical trinkets, an altar for storing experience, several new gem types that can be found in the world, and much more. This mod might seem focused on enchanting at first, but it’s one of the most impressive and fully fleshed-out magic mods that players can use.
15) Wizards (RPG Series)
For a bit of a different magical RPG experience, the Wizards mod, part of the RPG Series of mods, might be worth a look. When players are starting, they’ll need to craft a basic wand as well as runes using basic materials. Runes will power a player’s magical weapons as ammunition, empowering them with elements like fire, frost, and pure arcane power. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg with this roleplaying and combat mod.
By visiting villages, players can find new wizard buildings that contain blocks that can help players craft magical tomes to unlock new spells, then craft or otherwise obtain staves to use these new and improved spells. Players can also acquire mage robes, and the loot found in structures is even expanded to accommodate magical items to ensure players can keep casting spells while they’re out on their adventures.
