Does Summoning Rituals add any recipes on its own?

No. The mod ships with no recipes at all. You create every ritual yourself using KubeJS. This is intentional so packmakers have full control over what gets added.

Do I need KubeJS to use this mod?

You need KubeJS to actually create rituals. Without it, the Altar is there but has nothing to do. If you're adding this to a modpack you're building, install KubeJS alongside it.

Can the Altar be automated with Hoppers?

Yes. The Altar accepts items from Hoppers and item pipes. The one thing to keep in mind is that the Catalyst must be inserted last, or the ritual won't start. Plan your automation around that.

What happens if I insert the Catalyst but not all conditions are met?

The Catalyst pops back out of the Altar. Nothing is consumed. Check that all required items are in the Altar and any mob sacrifices are within the Sacrifice Region before inserting the Catalyst.

Can rituals spawn mobs with custom stats?

Yes. Mob outputs support NBT data, so you can spawn mobs with extra health or other modified attributes. This is defined in the recipe when you write it through KubeJS.

Summoning Rituals Mod (1.19.2, 1.18.2) - Custom Ritual Crafting

Summoning Rituals is a mod built for packmakers. It adds an Altar block that handles ritual-based crafting for items and mobs, but ships with zero recipes by default. You define exactly what you want using KubeJS. It’s a solid base for any modpack that wants custom summons without a bunch of preset content getting in the way.

How It Works

You place items into the Altar, then insert the Catalyst last to start the ritual. The Altar accepts items from Hoppers and item pipes, so full automation is possible. The Catalyst has to go in last though. Insert it too early and nothing happens.

Core Concepts

Catalyst

The Catalyst is the trigger item. Every recipe requires one, and the Altar only ever pulls one at a time even if you have a full stack in hand. If the ritual conditions aren’t met when the Catalyst goes in, it pops back out.

Inputs

Inputs are the items placed inside the Altar. They get consumed when the ritual completes. Some recipes can also require mob sacrifices, which have to be placed near the Altar rather than inside it.

Sacrifices and Sacrifice Region

If a recipe calls for mob sacrifices, those mobs need to be within the Sacrifice Region around the Altar. The default region is defined as 3, 2, 3, which resolves to a 5x3x5 area since the Altar is at the center. This is configurable per recipe.

Outputs

Outputs can be items or mobs. Both support custom NBT, so you can spawn mobs with modified stats like extra health. Each output has two position settings:

Offset: moves the spawn point relative to the Altar. Default is directly above. An offset of 3, 2, -5 shifts the spawn 3 blocks on X, 2 on Y, and -5 on Z.
Spread: adds random distribution around the spawn origin. Default is 1, 0, 1 for a slight horizontal spread. Item outputs are grouped into stacks of up to 4.

KubeJS Integration

All recipe creation goes through KubeJS. The mod also exposes two events you can hook into for extra control over ritual behavior, which gives packmakers a lot of flexibility without needing to write a full addon.

JEI / REI Support

Ritual recipes show up in JEI and REI so players can look up what goes into each ritual without digging through config files.
