Expand your Minecraft experience with the Amaranthium mod (Magic: Hemomancy), the first installment in a trilogy of enchanting Magic-themed content expansion packs for the Amaranthium Series. This mod introduces a host of new items, including Blood Vials, which can be obtained by vanquishing foes with a uniquely crafted Dagger.
To streamline your gameplay, using tools like JEI or REI is extremely beneficial. Creating Daggers can be a bit quirky; they necessitate Bloodstone, a new ore that appears between levels Y1 and Y46, and requires an Iron Pickaxe to extract effectively.
At the heart of this mod lies the principle of “Damage for Reward.” You can inflict harm upon yourself to gain valuable items in exchange. A prime example of this mechanic is the newly introduced keybind, ‘Conjure Blood Blade.’ When you press this key (C by default), you will sustain significant damage but, as a reward, receive a Blood Blade. This weapon, although limited in uses, can be transformed into ten Blood Vials when paired with a glass bottle in a crafting grid.
Blood Vials represent an innovative new consumable in the game through this mod. Upon consumption, players will experience Regeneration, achieve maximum saturation, but also face a nauseating effect due to the realistic portrayal of drinking blood. Indeed, the experience can be quite unsettling yet boosts your gameplay strategically.
