Blood Magic

Gruesome? Probably. Worth it? Definitely! Discord

Have you ever picked up a magic mod for Minecraft, and thought that it was too tame? Was there not enough danger involved when creating your next high-tech gadget? Bored with all of those peaceful animals just staring at you without a care in the world? Well then, I am glad you came here!

Blood Magic is an arcane art that is practiced by mages who attempt to gather a vast amount of power through utilizing a forbidden material: blood. Even though it does grant a huge amount of power, every single action that is performed with this volatile magic can prove deadly. You have been warned.

For the best experience, you should install JustEnoughItems to find your way through the recipes.

Manual and Getting Started

We now have a fully fledged in-game guidebook, the Sanguine Scientum, which should provide all the information you could need. It even has a built-in getting started guide! Simply craft it with a book and a piece of glass. 

We've also taken the information in this in-game manual and transcribed it to the web - check this document for an online copy. Big thanks to MystChonky for putting it together!

There are web-based mirrors of the Patchouli guide for 1.16 and 1.18/1.20 here, respectively.

Art

You may notice the mod has an entirely different look than you may remember. These textures were graciously provided by the Unity team.

In the market for a Minecraft server to play with some friends? Don't know how to set one up? Then consider renting an already configured server!

If you click on the picture above and select a plan (recommended 6GB or higher for most modpacks), you can use my code wayoftime to get 25% off of your first month! A small commission of the server goes towards my daily caffeine addiction, but I'd say only consider a purchase if you're already looking for a server!

Team

WayofTime

Way works on all the cool content you get to play around with. Can usually be found making a mess for Nut Stella to clean up.

TehNut

Nut is retired from modding nowadays, but when he worked on Blood Magic, he was essentially a maid. He primarily worked behind the scenes, making sure the codebase itself stayed as clean and optimized as it can. He  also did most of the work involved in porting to Minecraft 1.12. Can usually be found committing code in the wrong bracing style.

Yulife

One of the art people. Currently on an extended vacation.

CyanideX

Another art person. Currently on sporadic vacations.

BBoldt

Our third art person. Currently on a permanent vacation.

VT-14

VT works on the fancy rendering in the in-game guide, which makes the user's life a lot easier.

Wrince

Wince works on the content of the in-game guide and constantly updates it when I make arbitrary changes. Recently has taken on a slightly more dictatorial directorial / QA role in helping with polish + porting.

MystChonky

A (relatively) recent addition to the team, chonky spear-headed the 1.20 port of the mod. Also fixes dumb things that I did in the past…

StellaNera

Stella's been pivotal in polishing up the most recent 1.20 version of the mod, fixing bugs and adding new features, and is currently working hard on porting to 1.21+. 

Firel

Even another art person! Made the music called "Bleeding Edge of the Hidden Realm", which is featured in the mod as a playable music disc.
