As the name implies, this mod is all about gathering magical power through blood rituals – give up your own life essence, or that of the game’s various mobs, and receive power in return.

For this reason, the Blood Magic mod is not only perfect for adding a bit of magic to your Minecraft game, but also for lending it a bit of edge. Vanilla Minecraft might have its dark caverns and its frightening denizens, but overall, it’s a pretty family-friendly game. Sadly, the mod hasn’t been updated in a fair while but nonetheless, it provides a very subdued take on magic that’s unique not only among Minecraft mods but among video games in general. Players can tend witch’s gardens, perform rituals and summon familiars. WitcheryĬlearly inspired by a love of genuine Wicca traditions, the Witchery mod is less about flashy spellcasting, and more about the old-school, storybook charm of witchcraft. And much like the central system of vanilla Minecraft, Botania’s system is complicated to learn fully, but fun and engaging all the way through. As the name implies, the Botania mod is built around a complicated system of plants and flowers that allow you to create magical amulets and weaponry, and, in the long run, magically automate your Minecraft world.

This one takes a slightly different approach, being more focused on magical tech than magic spells.
