Several bugs and suggestions for Build A Spell

Build A Spell Feedback (Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge)

First of all, I really like this mod. The spell creation system is very interesting and has a lot of potential. The ability to combine different effects and create unique spells makes this one of the most interesting magic mods I have seen recently.

However, after playing with the mod more, I noticed several bugs and areas that could be improved:

Bugs:

1. Shield spells seem to be working incorrectly or not working at all.

2. Spell Rune sometimes does not activate even when it has enough mana (200/200).

3. Spell Rune seems to be less reliable when stored in stacks compared to when runes are kept separately.

4. After dying, the spell selection wheel becomes empty.

5. After dying, the Spell Builder menu may lose spell names, colors, and icons.

6. The spells themselves still work, but they become invisible in the interface.

7. Using a Spell Rune sometimes partially restores the interface, but not completely.

8. Rejoining the world fixes this issue.

9. Enchantments related to increasing mana capacity (Mana Pool) seem to work only on armor. However, tools and staffs can also be placed in the upgrade table, which makes it unclear whether these enchantments are supposed to work on them as well.

Suggestions:

1. Add a HUD element showing the currently selected spell.

   • It is easy to forget which spell is currently selected.
   • Because of this, players can accidentally use an unwanted spell, such as a mining spell or another destructive spell near their base.

2. Add the ability to move the mana bar on the screen.

   • The current position of the mana bar may be inconvenient for some players.
   • Allowing players to change its position would make the interface more customizable and comfortable.

3. Improve the explanation of some mechanics.

   • Some enchantments and mechanics are not clear enough.
   • It would be helpful to explain in more detail how Mana Pool, Mana Regeneration, and Spell Power work.

Overall, the idea behind this mod is excellent, and I believe that after fixing these issues and improving some features, it could become one of the best magic mods for NeoForge.

Additional issues I noticed while playing:

10. Entering another dimension (for example, the End) causes the same interface problems as dying:

• The spell selection wheel becomes empty.
• Spell names, colors, and icons may disappear from the Spell Builder menu.
• The spells themselves still work, but they become invisible in the interface.
• Rejoining the world fixes the issue.

11. Mana Pool and similar enchantments appear to work only on armor.

• Applying them to a staff does not seem to provide any effect.
• This can be confusing, because it is not clear from the description that these enchantments only work on armor.

12. Spells can sometimes fail to activate even when the player still has enough resources or available uses.

• For example, I was flying in the End using a flight spell.
• When I tried to use it again, the spell did not activate.
• As a result, I fell into the void.

13. I noticed a possible issue with the upgrade table from the mod.

• If there are more than 64 units of iron, gold, diamonds, or netherite inside it, the game may crash.
• After the crash, the resources that were inside the table and the item being upgraded may disappear.
• Additionally, after the crash, the table itself may become invisible and remain invisible until the player rejoins the world.
• I cannot guarantee that the cause is specifically having more than 64 resources, but I have noticed this happening several times.

I am not sure what exactly causes these issues, but I wanted to report them because this information may help with finding and fixing the problems.
