I have some not-great news, tl;dr I am not sure when or if Magic is going to support 1.20.5
Development of this plugin has been slowed for a while now, basically reduced to maintenance and updates for new MC versions. I haven't had the time nor energy to do much else with it.
Unfortunately, 1.20.5 has several major internal changes, most particularly the treatment of NBT data, which has caused major issues for updating Magic. I've spent quite a few hours on it already but there's no real clean end or fix in sight.
So for now I am afraid I will have to say the plugin will not be updated.
This may change in the future, but I can't make any guarantees. If Magic does get updated, it will be via one of two methods:
I patch up all the uses of NBT and let the plugin hobble forward full of band-aids.
I re-work Magic internally to make a version that doesn't rely on MC internals, and only uses the Spigot API
Approach #2 is one I've considered doing and even started work on several times in the past. It would be an ideal solution for me since it would make the plugin future-proof, no longer requiring updates for each new version of Spigot/Minecraft.
However, it is a lot of work and would come with several trade-offs. Probably many systems would not make the cut, such as custom mob AI and schematic loading.
Additionally, it's very unlikely that such a plugin would be backwards-compatible with existing Magic items. I would make sure that configs work and are forward-compatible (minus missing systems like mob AI), but the plugin would be unable to read NBT data saved by previous versions of the plugin. Meaning any server that wanted to move to this new version would basically have to reset all Magic items.
I know none of this is good news, but I'm hoping you understand where I am at and that I just don't have time to dedicate to the now-monumental task of keeping this plugin updated.
It's been a joy working for and with many of you over the years, and I hope you all continue to thrive, with or without Magic.

Server Compatibility
Please make sure you download the correct version for your server:
Magic is a plugin that adds powerful magic wands, items, mobs and more to your server. With over 200 spells, a variety of wand templates, and complete customization, you can use Magic to craft a unique experience for your server.
The default experience is an "RPG lite" extension to survival. Other examples are included, such as a Harry Potter setup, Star Wars, GTA-Style guns and cars, elemental bending and more.
Magic is infinitely customizable, allowing you to script your own spells, actions, items, mobs and anything else you see done in the included example configurations.

ciao, il plugin non funziona sul mio server, nel senso, mi da i comandi ma non me li fa eseguire, e quando provo a fare un crafting non mi appare niente, mi potete aiutare perfavore
Hey, I’m on a server where it lets both Bedrock and Java players play together. I’m on a mobile device and don’t know how to get the visual pack or how to do spells with a book (Unsure of how to open the spell menu).
Edit: Also, there’s a problem with the new recipe link. Could you have a look at that?
Spell lore only shows up on the wand if the wand only has spell. Otherwise it would have to rebuild all the lore every time you switch spells, might be some lag.
Hello, I’ve been using the 1.17.1 version of Magic for my server and I finally got an elytra to craft the broom glider only for my broom to still have the 1 minute timer instead of letting me fly infinitely. Is this a bug or am I missing something important? I’ve already restarted the server and still no dice.
have you ever considered making this into a mod for servers like Fabric ?? just curious. i absolutely love this plugin and have not found anything like it for my second server.
Hello, I have this plugin installed in my server for 1.17.1 and it made all items on my inventory to vanish, forever(except armor/offhand). Idk if you are aware of this bug already, but there it is anyways.
Hello, I may have a silly question to ask. When I craft the Wizard armor set, I see the custom icons used on the right in the crafting table but when I apply that set it comes up as chainmail instead. There are quite a few items that also respond in this fashion. Should I be seeing something different, am I missing possibly a resource pack or is this on purpose? I am running on Paper 1.18.1. with the resource pack the plugin automatically uses.
I am unable to get this to work on my Minecraft server any help I have installed the plugin through the apex server I have been trying to work out why I am unable to craft the stuff my server is on 1.18.1 it's a survival server that I have added the mod to and its now not working I as op can give my self a wand but I or my player are not able to craft a wand
How does the recall spell function in regards to the marker? How do I place down a marker to recall to? I have the spell at level 3 but I see literally nothing in the GUI to set a marker.
I downloaded Magic Version 10.0.2 on a PaperMc Aternos server, however I think some things are missing.
I cannot craft things like the Heart of Magic(4 Emeralds surrounding a Diamond,to be clear), I don't know if I need to do something with configuration and I honestly don't have much experience with Plugins, as a matter of fact Magic is the first Plugin I've ever used. I don't want to have to give my friends and myself the wands and spellbooks with commands because the server is mean't to be a genuine survival one, if anyone could help me I'd be really thankful.
Hello! So if your server is on current Paper (1.17.1) the recipes are different from in the intro video. I have not had a chance to make a new full video, but check out this update:
how do you add sp through commands? it keeps on telling me to put my wand name and stuff but when i do it, it doesnt work. could you send me how to do it?
the plugin is just not working for me. I did every installation step you did, but it wouldn't give me a wand, the commands existed, they just did nothing.

In reply to ShadeVsNoxxes:
The robe textures are in a separate resource pack since (for now) they replace chainmail. You can use
To use that RP, and also enable the crafting recipes (though I assume you have done that manually already).

Thanks a bunch, everyone on the server jumped for joy once I entered the command.
Best plugin around with the best support. Even if my problem wasn't massive.

In reply to GaramTheSkater:
It should tell you in the spell lore, cast down (aim straight down and cast)
