How do I start shooting magic spells out of my guns?
First, imbue an ammo box with a spell at an Arcane Anvil, fill it with matching ammunition, and equip it in a Curios slot to charge mana. Next, toggle IronsMode on, choose your spell from the Spell Selector in the bottom-left corner, reload your gun, and fire.
How do I imbue an ammo box with a spell?
Open an Arcane Anvil from Iron’s Spells ‘n Spellbooks and combine your ammo box with the spell you want to use. Once imbued, remember to load the ammo box with the right ammunition for your weapon.
How do I store and charge mana in my ammo box?
Equip your imbued ammo box into one of your Curios slots. Wearing it there charges the box and stores extra mana so you do not run dry during combat.
How do I turn on IronsMode?
Go into your Minecraft control settings, find the IronsMode keybind, and assign it to an unused key. Press that key during gameplay to switch your firearm into spell-casting mode.
Why is my gun shooting regular bullets instead of spells?
Make sure IronsMode is turned on, an active spell is chosen in the bottom-left Spell Selector, and your imbued ammo box is equipped in a Curios slot with plenty of mana. You must also reload your firearm after enabling IronsMode before it will fire magic.
Do I still need to put normal bullets inside an imbued ammo box?
Yes, you have to fill the imbued ammo box with the correct ammunition for the specific gun you are holding. Without matching ammo inside the box, you cannot reload your weapon to fire spells.
Do I have to craft special magic guns for each spell?
No, this mod works without needing a unique gun model for every spell. You can fire magical attacks straight out of standard Timeless and Classics Zero firearms.
How do I switch between spells during combat?
Use the custom Spell Selector in the bottom-left corner of your screen to change your active ability on the fly. Once you pick a new spell and reload your gun, your shots will fire the newly selected magic.
What is the benefit of firing spells from a gun instead of casting normally?
Spells travel much faster when shot out of a gun barrel, making it easier to hit distant or moving targets. You also get to draw from the extra mana stored inside your Curios-equipped ammo box for continuous casting.
Why didn't my spell fire right after I turned on IronsMode?
Toggling IronsMode and picking an ability in the HUD does not automatically replace the rounds already chambered in your weapon. Always reload your gun after activating IronsMode so it loads from your imbued ammo box.
