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.

Documentation
Documentation is provided via an in-game book managed by Guide API under the name "Sanguine Scientiem".
Art
You may notice the mod has an entirely different look than you may remember. These textures were graciously provided by the Unity team.
Team
WayofTime
Way works on all the cool content you get to play around with as well as writes the guide. 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.
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.

I don't know if this is intentional, but whenever you click life essence with a bottle you only get water.
do you guys have Patreon(s)? I'd love to support anyone actively working on the mod, particularly Way & Nut. Hoping to see this in 1.15 soon :-)
Edit: I see the mod has a donate link on the right side... I suppose that will work?
Please update this to 1.14.4
In reply to runelord8:
I'd rather see 1.15. I don't know if Way & Nut still use ForgeCraft for their alpha builds, but if they do, 1.15 is more likely since that's the version FC is currently running (at least judging by Direwolf20's streams)
your book is incorrect :P
inspectoris scandalum does NOT literally mean block reader
it means more like view tripping, investigate stumbling,,
haha :P
still awesome mod
Uh for some reason my world spawns a lot of mobs from this mob called "mimics" and they look like spiders with no body. Any reasoning behind this do you know?
In reply to Metroxidee:
They do not spawn naturally, so one of your other mods is doing something with them.
Could you update this to 1.14.4 please?
Does anyone know if the demon invasion is still in Blood Magic? Not seeing anything about it in the guide book.
For some reason, the soul snares don't ever seem to cause the entities to start swirling. I have other mods running, so I'm not sure if that's the problem or not.

Why when I throw a gold block into the ritual of the falling tower makes me nauseous?In reply to deadhelen:
you need more LP in your orb
hi it's amazing by by
Its proble gone be amazing when ore if i donaload it! keep up the amazing work you may be able to make a few more mods and then make a modpack when you do add this mod and alot more and you will be faumos becuase ill tell every one about you and your amazing mod and modpack im so proud of your mod you created its amazing and perpect for the server im making
Just posting as a reminder that the lapis block lesser ritual still uses "/time set" to change the time of the world, and that because of a minecraft bug that sets it to DAY ZERO and that time, causing problems with local difficulty, season mods, time passage based mods (Astral sorcery) and a number of other functions.
So I am once again requesting that the nightfall lesser ritual stone be changed to use /time add with a bit of math that requsts the current time, and then adds the required minutes to reach the desired time.
