Meat, Blood, and Shadows is primarily a exploration mod. You make meat blocks out of different animal meat, including chicken, beef, mutton, and pork. When you get enough meat blocks and 1 nether quartz, you are able to make a meat infuser, which can incubate an egg which summons a boss. Beat the boss to obtain blood gems, which you can use to make a portal to the bloody dimension, where there are 3 hostile mobs and a new ore called darkened ore. You mine the darkened ore and other materials you gather from the dimension to make a corrupted table, which you use to preform rituals to make Darkened armor, the strongest in the game.
