    About

    Ars Elemental expands Ars Nouveau’s elemental spellcraft with new glyphs, spell foci, equipment, creatures and themed biomes. Its spell additions include Watery Grave for drowning damage, Homing Projectile to seek targets, Arc Projectile that can bounce when augmented with Pierce, and Conjure Terrain, which places dirt or can be shaped into blocks such as cobblestone, stone, sand, sandstone and mud. Other glyphs add tactical options: Charm can tame suitable animals, encourage breeding or briefly enthrall monsters; Life Link shares damage and healing between caster and target; and Poison Spores and Discharge trigger area damage against enemies with specified poison, hunger or electrical effects. Four lesser foci let players specialize in Fire, Water, Air or Earth, unlocking school-specific effects while strengthening their school’s glyphs and dampening other elemental schools; major foci extend this progression, including the Necrotic Focus for Anima. For example, Fire focus can let Flare hit fire-immune mobs, Water focus adds rapid frost buildup and can turn Conjure Water with Freeze into Conjure Ice, and Earth focus enables a Gravity Well that draws entities toward its center. The mod also adds five bangles that boost spell damage and grant school-themed effects, alongside a Trinket Pouch and Spellcaster Bag for carrying equipment and other magical items. Elemental armor pieces amplify matching-school glyphs and reduce damage from related elemental sources, with additional set bonuses available for matching pieces. Creatures include the FlareCannon, a homing familiar that boosts Fire and Projectile spells, and the Siren, which produces fishing drops with treasure chances influenced by the diversity of flora and fauna in its aquarium. Its Archwood landscapes include Flashing forests with quartz formations and breezes, Blazing forests with lava lakes and blackstone, Cascading shores with corals and waterfall-prone terrain, and Flourishing forests with spore blossoms and occasional mansions.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    What it can do on your computer

    Creates settings files
    The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them.

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · All 10 latest files checked, last on 15 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      10 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 3 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.
      Read without running it
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends

    We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · All 3 files read
    • Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.
      The code of all 3 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases

    AI

    No sign that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and code history and found none.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.

    How we checked · 5 places read
