Latest revision as of 18:11, 24 July 2023

Thaumcraft 6 is a reimagining of the Thaumcraft 5 mod by Azanor. Thaumcraft is based off of the form of magic known as Thaumaturgy. A person who performs Thaumaturgy is called a Thaumaturge. This person is also defined as a person who works wonders and performs miracles using the magical essences inside physical objects.

The mod is currently in beta on 1.12.2. On January 14, 2019, Azanor announced that he has discontinued development.^[1]

As of January 2019, Team CoFH has taken upon the port of the mod to newer versions, while Azanor remains as the the creative director.^[2] Teasers for "Thaumcraft 7" are regularly posted in the Team CoFH Discord.

Major changes from Thaumcraft 5

Wands were removed and replaced with the Caster's Gauntlet and related blocks and items.
Vis no longer comes from nodes, but is spread throughout the environment. Each chunk has a pool of vis. Vis spreads slowly to and from neighboring chunks.
The Eldritch was not implemented.
The Thaumonomicon has been heavily restructured and no longer takes research points from aspects.
The research minigame has been heavily restructured and no longer takes research points from aspects.

Thaumonomicon

Main article: Thaumonomicon (Thaumcraft 6)

To start Thaumcraft 6, a Thaumonomicon is required. This can be obtained by mining an Air Crystal, a Fire Crystal, a Water Crystal, an Earth Crystal, an Order Crystal, an Entropy Crystal, or a Flux Crystal. Once this is done, a message will appear encouraging the player to sleep in a Bed. After lying down in a bed (does not require sleeping through the night for servers), the player will receive a book titled Strange Dreams, which instructs them to use Salis Mundus on a Bookshelf to acquire the Thaumonomicon.

The Thaumonomicon is a reference book of all things thaumaturgical. It lists all the discoveries made so far and gives a general impression of how much is left to learn.

The player can browse through the discoveries and click on them to show more detailed information and any crafting recipes associated with those discoveries, plus any addendums they may have discovered.

Trivia

Early in Thaumcraft 6's development, Azanor considered significantly altering the mod, and somewhat jokingly^[3] referred to it as "Thaumcraft II"^[4] (not be be confused with Thaumcraft 2). As such, Thaumcraft II was briefly used as a nickname.
Thaumcraft's co-creator MrCauchemar once accidentally created a glitched version of a Vis that ended up corrupting the world. This was later used as a base for the Flux.
The Arcane Stone is based off the co-creators favorite Twitch channel pewterstone.

-"Between work and family I have been unable to work on Thaumcraft even a fraction as much as I have been able to in the past. I have recently decided to continue my studies after-hours which means what little time I had left will disappear for the next couple of years. The studies will be mostly to further my career, but the good news is that I am going to sneak in some gaming related courses in there. I am hoping to return to modding eventually, or maybe even publish a game of my own.
-I will continue to maintain Baubles – it is small enough that keeping it running doesn’t occupy much time. Thaumcraft is a different beast however. I will try and work on TC 6 whenever I get the chance, but I cannot promise when it will be done or even if it ever will be done. Sorry guys."

-{{Quote|So I have been toying around with a few ideas (because thinking about TC is about all I have time for most days).

-In the past most of my updates have built upon previous versions and in general mechanics between versions had been evolutions instead of complete redesigns. This time around I am thinking about fundamental changes with only some of the core concepts and the flavor of the mod remaining the same.

-The question is: should I? I usually get a itch to shake things up during a big update push, but this will probably be one of the biggest departures yet. Would you guys be cool with something like this?
+The player can browse through the discoveries and click on them to show more detailed information and any crafting recipes associated with those discoveries, plus any addendums they may have discovered.
-You are probably wondering what I want to change. Honestly, I am not 100% sure yet.
+==World generation==
-One of the basic changes I am toying with is turning the whole burn-items-for-aspects thing on its head. I have floated the idea in the past with mixed opinions.

-In short: Instead of breaking complex aspects down into simple ones it will work the other way around. You will start out with primals and combine them till you get the aspects you want. Burning items for aspects might not even survive this change - raw primal essentia will probably be gathered for worldgen crystals initially and later using some aura related mechanic. See what I mean with big changes?

-{{Quote|Progress is going good and I have actually managed to put in a lot work these past few weeks. Unfortunately all that work was towards completely rebuilding the mod from the ground up. I have been out of the loop for so long and so many things have changed in MC and Forge that I sort of had to relearn a lot of stuff. Rather than try and hack those changes into my old code I am just writing it from scratch. Sure it will take longer, but at least the next version will be a much leaner and more efficient one and hopefully a lot more future-proof for MC 1.11 once it rolls around.|Azanor}}
