Inscription

First release: 0.1.0-alpha

Initial public alpha for Minecraft 26.1.2 on Fabric and NeoForge.

Added

• Archaeology progression. Brushing Suspicious Sand and Gravel can turn up one of 26 Runes. Learning one is permanent and shared across the world; a duplicate converts to Runic Essence. Every site has a 20% Missing Rune chance.
• Denser archaeology sites. Newly generated Desert Wells, Desert Pyramids, Ocean Ruins and Trail Ruins carry more Suspicious Blocks. Existing chunks are untouched, and a single config value scales it — including 0.0 for vanilla generation.
• Rune Monument with seven personal milestones, unlocking four Brush tiers, the Monocle and Netherite Monocle, the Runic Compass, and Rune Reading.
• Inscription Table. One Prefix and one Suffix per item, paid for in Runic Ink across five investment tiers that raise the quality floor and the perfect chance. Erasing costs one unit.
• 46 Affixes — 23 Prefixes and 23 Suffixes — across 14 equipment families, including Mace and Spear momentum Affixes.
• Three Relics: the Wolf Statue, the Cat Statue, and the Sunken Wail.
• Renewable Essence. Sniffer digs have a 30% chance to turn up Runic Essence alongside the seed.
• Optional JEI integration — archaeology odds per structure, the Affix catalog per item and slot, Relic and detector ranges, and the Sniffer chance.
• Server config for site abundance, Sniffer chance, Relic ranges and Affix tuning, reloadable with /inscription reload.

Requires

• Fabric: Fabric API
• NeoForge: nothing extra
• Java 25, as Minecraft 26.1 requires
• Install on both client and server
