Gruesome? Probably. Worth it? Definitely! 
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.

Getting Started
Getting started in Blood Magic has changed slightly since 1.7.10. Rather than finding a Diamond to craft a Blood Altar, you need to obtain some Demonic Will. To get your first bit of Will, you'll need to craft some Soul Trumpets Snares and toss them at enemies. If you're lucky, this will snare the enemy. When killed, snared enemies will drop a small amount of their Will. I'll let you take it from there.
For a more comprehensive, web-based guide, see this document. Big thanks to Tiyth at MinecraftGuides for putting it together.
Documentation
Documentation is provided via an in-game book managed by Guide API under the name "Sanguine Scientiem".
In 1.16.3+, the in-game book is instead managed by Patchouli! Can confirm, it's naisu.
Art
You may notice the mod has an entirely different look than you may remember. These textures were graciously provided by the Unity team.

Way works on all the cool content you get to play around with. Can usually be found making a mess for Nut to clean up.
TehNut
Nut is essentially a maid. He primarily works behind the scenes, making sure the codebase itself stays as clean and optimized as it can. He's also in charge of most of the work involved in porting to new Minecraft versions. Can usually be found committing code in the wrong bracing style.

1.16.5 Not sure what I am missing, trying to get to tier IV. Does the bound blade not exist in this version? How do I get the blood shards
In reply to Scrogs63:
I suggest you download Patchouli and read through the guide. Online guides and wikis are severely outdated.
in the 1.16.5 version u can blow up bedrock with controlled charges which almost made me die in a hardcore world
Hi, i just created the tier 6 altar in minecraft version 1.12.2( using sevtech ages modpack) and read somewhere that the demon invasion was removed in 1.12.2. Can you tell me, in which minecraft version is the demon invasion feature enabled/implemented because i want to experience that ? I guess it wont be implemented to an older mc version like 1.12.2 anymore and i fully understand, because it would be a lot of unpaid extra work.
In reply to ToserBan:
The last version that the demonic invasion was in was 1.7.10
blood for the blood gods
for some reason i cant figure out how to get lp (im using 1.16.5) ive tried exploring ive tried killing creatures ive tried looking at the guide
Heya, not sure if you have documentation on it already but I’m getting a crash when equipping the last piece of crafted living armor, does not happen when all 4 pieces are spawned through creative. I can snag a crash log in the morning, or if you already have all the information you need from others, I wish you luck on fixing this. I’ve loved blood magic since I first saw it years and years ago, and hope you’re all doing well. Have a good one!
In reply to ElementalMelonMan:
We already have a pending fix for this, however Way has not been available to stage a new release.

In reply to TehNut:
Sweet! Glad to hear it’s fixable. I thought it may have been on my end. Not worried about the release of the fix, as long as I know it’ll be here eventually. Hope you’re well.
I just read the changelog and... you added a demon dimension!? That sounds metal af, was that a 1.7 feature? I know I never saw it in 1.12. Anyways, keep up the good work my dude, your mod is fun as heck.
Hi!
I found a bug. You can use water sigil to place water in nether dimension. I'm playing on Infermopolis modpack and it's kinda ruins gameplay if used.
(Modpack owner said it's mod bug, not modpack)
IM SO HAPPY
first to download the BloodMagic-1.16.4-3.1.4-24.jar
How do I get the blood from the network into the altar?Nice work, But i need 1.16.5 version can you make it?
In reply to darkness_count:
The file is tagged as working for 1.16.5.
In reply to WayofTime:
i just need it for 1.16.5 and not for others. for development options...
Hay, I found a bug with the "alchemical reaction chamber".
When you put the item at the first way in your backpack and shift+right click the item,then you can copy the item.
My English is not good. I'm sorry.
將物品放在背包最左上角，打開alchemical reaction chamber的介面，shift+左鍵，物品會放不上去並且直接雙倍
The thing with this is that is a problem with the pack maker, not really the mod itself. There is a config option in the 1.12 version that allows the Tier 6 altar to function, and even if you're in 1.16 the pack maker should have checked that the crystal clusters actually do something.
