Sanguine Neural Networks
by MtcLuna05
Sanguine Neural Networks adds a Virtual Sacrificer block and machine models that turn Blood Magic blood into energy-driven blood generation for Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
Blood is produced by a Blood Altar consumer block that accepts a machine model. Each model sets how much energy it consumes and how much blood it generates, and the tier of the model changes the blood power. Speed, energy, blood and models can all be adjusted in the configuration files. Recipes for the models and catalysts are changed through datapacks, since they no longer live in a config file.
The main addition is the Virtual Sacrificer, which accepts catalyst items that increase the amount of blood produced over a set number of operations. Placing more sacrifice runes in the altar structure gives another boost. The mod includes JEI addons that show its models and catalysts. Required dependencies are Blood Magic, Hostile Neural Networks and Neo Vitae; Just Enough Items (JEI) is optional. The mod runs on the client and the server, so both need it, and the code is released under the MIT License as open source. Builds exist for 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, with 2.0.1 as the latest file on Forge and NeoForge.
