Part 1. Getting Started With Biomancy

The very first tool you need is the Flesh Plunderer.

How to Craft the Flesh Plunderer

You’ll need:

Any type of raw meat
Bones
1 Primordial Core

How to Craft a Primordial Core

Combine:

Raw beef
Raw porkchop
Raw chicken
Raw mutton
Rotten flesh
A spider eye
An ender pearl

All extremely early-game friendly.

⭐ Harvesting Biological Materials

Now equip your Flesh Plunderer and kill mobs with that weapon specifically. It drops different organic components depending on mob type:

Farm Animals Drop:

Sinew
Bile glands (rare)

Predators Drop:

Sharp fangs
Sharp claws

Predators include wolves, cats, foxes, bats, hoglins, etc.

Farm animals = bile & sinew

Predators = claws & fangs

You’ll need a good supply of both.

⭐ The Primordial Cradle — Your First Biomancy Machine

Now it’s time to build your first horrifying machine:

Primordial Cradle Recipe

Raw meat
2 Sharp fangs
1 Primordial core

Place it down.

It starts empty.

How to Use the Cradle

Feed it raw meat → it fills the internal bar
Feed it a Potion of Healing

The eye lights up… bubbles rise…

and…

You get a FLESH BLOB.

⭐ Flesh Blobs — Growing and Harvesting

Flesh blobs are living, growing creatures.

Feed them raw meat to grow
They will actively hunt nearby animals
They keep expanding in size
The larger they get, the more they drop

Killing Blobs Gives:

Living Flesh

This is critical because it unlocks Biomancy’s main crafting path.

You can kill blobs with any weapon, but using the Flesh Plunderer keeps everything consistent.

⭐ The Bio-Forge — Your Main Crafting Machine

Once you’ve harvested Living Flesh, you can craft the most important workstation in the mod:

Bio-Forge Recipe

Living Flesh
Sharp claws
Slime balls
Raw meat

Place it and you’ll see a complex interface.

How the Bio-Forge Works

Recipes are listed on the left
Each recipe requires specific organic ingredients
And Nutrients (top-left bar)

How to Get Nutrients

Just insert raw meat.

1 raw porkchop = 32 nutrients (varies by item)

A stack typically gives 512+ nutrients

This powers ALL Biomancy machines.

⭐ The Decomposer — Your Resource Generator

Most Biomancy items require things like:

Elastic fibers
Flesh bits
Bone fragments
Exotic dust
Biotic matter

The Decomposer is how you get them.

Decomposer Recipe

Living flesh
Sharp fangs
1 Bile gland

How It Works

Place an item → it consumes nutrients → outputs organic components.

Examples:

Sugar cane → Biotic Matter
Amethyst Shard → Gem Fragments
Golden Apple → Mineral Fragments / Regenerative Fluid
Rotten flesh → Flesh bits

The Decomposer is essential for progression.

⭐ Malignant Flesh Growth (Rotten Flesh Variant)

If you feed the Cradle rotten flesh instead of raw meat…

…it creates malignant growth instead of blobs.

This includes:

Primal membranes
Primal orifices (filled with acid)
Bloom nodes that fire spreading berries
Flesh veining that slowly expands

You can:

Collect Gastric Acid
Harvest Bloom Berries
Grind components in the Decomposer

Standing in the acid → armor shredding & corrosive damage.

So watch your step.

⭐ Weapons, Tools & Gear

Once you have the Bio-Forge running, you can craft a variety of powerful biomantic gear.

1. Caustic Gunblade

Fires acid projectiles
Can apply acid coating (press V to switch modes)
Rechargeable using nutrient paste

2. Acolyte Armor

Grants:

Resistance to harmful effects
Less hostility from Primordial Cradle mobs
Injection resistance

Charge the armor by using Nutrient Bars on it.

⭐ The Digestor — Making Nutrient Bars & Fuel

Digestor Recipe

Crafted inside the Bio-Forge.

What It Does

Insert RAW food → it digests into Nutrient Paste
Combine 9 paste → Nutrient Bar

Uses:

Repairs biomancy weapons
Charges biomancy armor
Powers machines

⭐ Essences & Membranes

The Essence Extractor lets you siphon essence from mobs.

You can then combine essence + biometric membrane to create special barriers:

Types of Membranes

Mob-type membrane (only that mob passes)
Primal (only living pass)
Undead (only undead pass)
Baby (only babies pass)
Adult (only adults pass)

This is huge for farms and automation.

⭐ Biolab — Organic Potions & Injectables

The Biolab is where you brew Biomancy’s custom “potions”.

How It Works

Insert nutrients
Insert compounds (from Decomposer)
Craft potions like:

Insomnia Cure
Regenerative compounds
Hardening agents

These are NOT drinkable.

You need:

Bio-Injector

Press V to select the serum

Shift-right-click → inject yourself
Right-click → inject mobs

⭐ Other Useful Biomancy Items

Bio-Alchemical Fertilizer

Better than bone meal.

Chrysalis

Stores blobs/babies safely.

Flesh Doors, Ladders, Plates

Biomancy has incredible decorative horror blocks.

Maw Hopper

A biological hopper that:

Stores items
Acts as a pipe system
Extends item flow much further than vanilla

One of the coolest utility blocks in the entire mod.
