[You can now learn how to cast spells and make potions in Minecraft. And while the Minecraft School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is still fairly immature, there is now a playable alpha version available to all aspiring spellcasters.

This is no mere reskin. Centered around a giant replica of Hogwarts, the Minecraft School for Witchcraft and Wizardry mod is packed with new quests and items that can take you anywhere from snowy Hogsmeade to the shady side streets of Knockturn Alley. You can even play Quidditch. Watch the trailer below.

The trailer mentions that in addition to some established wizard lore, players will be able to "discover secrets and mysteries," implying that there is some original script here as well and that there are various areas and stories for Harry Potter lovers to explore.

The Minecraft School for Witchcraft and Wizardry alpha is available for download now. If Harry Potter is not your cup of tea, check out our Minecraft best mods and best Minecraft server lists to find something to your liking.
