Thaumcraft Mod Wiki & Guide
Thaumcraft Mod is a magic mod centered on studying the aspects of objects, harvesting vis and essentia, and using research, alchemy, infusion, and golems to craft powerful magical equipment.
Overview
Thaumcraft, created by Azanor, is a magic mod built around the idea of thaumaturgy: drawing magical power from the physical and mystical "aspects" that make up everything in the world. Players study these aspects by scanning blocks, items, and creatures, gradually unlocking research that grants access to new tools, machines, and abilities.
Progression begins by sprinkling Salis Mundus on a Crafting Table to create an Arcane Workbench, then crafting a Thaumometer to scan the world. Scanning reveals the aspects contained in objects and grants observation points, which feed a research minigame at the Research Table and slowly fill out the Thaumonomicon, the mod's in-game guidebook.
The mod is organized into several research branches, each focused on a different style of magic: harnessing raw magical energy, alchemy, enchanting equipment, large-scale infusion crafting, building autonomous golems, and exploring dangerous eldritch knowledge.
