BloodMagic AE2 Addition
by edgemq
BMAddon brings blood-powered crafting into Applied Energistics 2, so an AE2 network can run supported Blood Magic recipes without manual crafting.
What it does
Blood Magic recipes are encoded as patterns in the AE2 Pattern Encoding Terminal, so a network can automate them and draw on Essentia Vitae stored in fluid storage. Each encoded pattern keeps its recipe type, inputs, output, required tier and Essentia Vitae cost, and a blank Blood Pattern is placed in the terminal to start one. Supported Ara Vitae and Tabula Vitae recipes can be encoded this way, and the AE2-compatible Ara Vitae Assembler is among the machines it works with.
The addon depends on Applied Energistics 2 and Blood Magic, both of which must be installed. It integrates Blood Magic NeoVitae with AE2, so the Forge Energy conversion to Essentia Vitae and the Blood Generator can feed the network. Builds cover 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, with the Forge file 1.0.4 for 1.20.1 and the NeoForge beta3 for 26.1.2. The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the source is public.
Key features
Blood Patterns
Custom Blood Patterns are encoded in AE2 to record a supported recipe, so the network can craft it on request.
Essentia Vitae fluid storage
Essentia Vitae is consumed from fluid storage on the network, keeping the cost of each recipe tied to its altar tier.
Forge Energy conversion
Forge Energy can be converted to Essentia Vitae, letting standard power sources run blood-powered automation.
Tiered machine upgrades
Machine upgrades and tiers affect which recipes can run, so higher tiers bring in more of the automation.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who already use Applied Energistics 2 and Blood Magic and want supported recipes handled by their AE2 network. Server owners who run a shared base can install it on the server and every player, since the environment is client and server.
How it compares
Sanguine Neural Networks is also open source under the MIT License, with Forge and NeoForge files for 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, and it runs on the client and server. Neo Vitae is a NeoForge-only option for 1.21.1 – 26.1.2, released under the MIT License. Applied Sorting is open source under the MIT License for the same range, but its environment is client-side only, so servers need nothing installed.
