What it does

The mod centres on rituals and blood sacrifice. It adds ritual weapons, special player states, death-related mechanics and new materials, plus ritual blocks and decorative blocks. Its systems link through a single progression path that ties the weapons to the rituals. Crimson requires Butterfly API and Patchouli, which must be installed next to it.

Players learn how rituals work, which items they use and how progression works through the Blood Encyclopedia, which is obtained in-game and serves as the guide to the mod's deeper systems. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with 1.1.1 as the latest file on the beta channel.

Key features

  1. Blood-based materials

    New materials are made from blood, and they feed into the ritual and weapon recipes.

  2. Ritual weapons

    Weapons are tied to the progression system, and combat encourages committed attacks.

  3. Guard and follow-up strike

    The wielder can block frontal hits and build toward a heavier counter.

  4. Movement rewards for committed attacks

    Committed attacks grant movement buffs, so players trade damage for agility as they go.
