How to Get Blood & Hardened Blood in Evilcraft – Minecraft 1.21.1

If you’re diving into the Evilcraft mod for Minecraft 1.21.1, one of the first resources you’ll need to master is blood — and its more advanced form, hardened blood. This guide walks you through every method of obtaining both, from crafting your first Blood Extractor to breaking Hardened Blood with Flint and Steel.

Getting Started: The Blood Extractor

The first thing you need to craft is a Blood Extractor. To make one, you’ll need Dark Gems — which can be mined underground — along with Spikes and Glass Spikes, both of which are also crafted using Dark Gems and Iron Ingots.

Once crafted, the Blood Extractor works passively. Simply keep it in your inventory and it will automatically collect blood whenever you kill a mob or enemy. No extra setup required — just fight as you normally would.

Collecting Blood via Blood Stains

Blood stains are another source of blood in Evilcraft. You cannot place them manually — instead, they appear naturally on the ground when a mob falls from a great height and dies on impact. Setting up a mob drop chute is a reliable way to generate blood stains consistently.

Using an Undead Tree to Generate Blood Stains

A more renewable method of producing blood stains is by growing an Undead Tree. To get an Undead Sapling, place a Dead Bush into a Blood Infuser along with some blood. Once you have the sapling, plant and grow it as you would any other tree.

Once grown, the Undead Tree will continuously drip blood droplets, which then create blood stains on the ground around the tree — giving you a steady, passive supply.

Collecting Blood Stains with the Sanguinary Pedestal

To turn those blood stains into usable blood, craft a Sanguinary Pedestal. This is made using Dark Gems and a Dark Block (which is itself crafted from Dark Gems). Place the pedestal near your blood stains and it will automatically absorb the blood around it. From there, you can pipe the collected blood out into tanks or other storage for use in crafting and recipes.

How to Get Hardened Blood

Once your Blood Extractor is full from killing mobs, right-click on any open ground or hole to pour blood out as a liquid source block. As long as it is not raining and the weather stays dry, the blood will slowly dry out and convert into Dried Blood over time.

You can then collect the dried blood block using a tool enchanted with Silk Touch.

Breaking Hardened Blood for Hardened Blood Shards

To get Hardened Blood Shards, equip a Flint and Steel and left-click on a Hardened Blood block to break it. This will drop Hardened Blood Shards, which are used in more advanced Evilcraft recipes. Make sure you are in Survival Mode when doing this so the drops register correctly.

Summary

To recap, here are your key methods for obtaining blood and hardened blood in Evilcraft for Minecraft 1.21.1:

Craft a Blood Extractor (Dark Gems + Spikes + Glass Spikes) and carry it while fighting mobs.

Create blood stains by dropping mobs from height, or by growing an Undead Tree (Dead Bush + Blood in a Blood Infuser).

Collect blood stains automatically using a Sanguinary Pedestal (Dark Gems + Dark Block).

Pour blood onto dry ground and wait for it to harden into Dried Blood — collect with Silk Touch.

Break Hardened Blood blocks with Flint and Steel to get Hardened Blood Shards.
