**📖 About :

**

Grim & Bleak is an ambience focused semi-horror mod, that mixes horror mechanics with modded gameplay, with interesting features. It mainly adds one new dimension : Limbo, a completely dark and seemingly empty place at first glance, although you will quickly realize that you are not alone.

While having a whole horror aspect, the mod features a variety of cool items, biomes and mobs, mostly contained in Limbo, but your actions in Limbo can have consequences in the Overworld.

**⚠️Quick warning⚠️

#  🧭 Mod Guide To access the Limbo dimension, you'll have to craft a compass of pains and to light a portal made out of Chiseled Deepslate

The main ore  you will find and use in Limbo is Darksteel. It is an equivalent to iron, but a little better. It also gives a brief wither effect to ennemies.

You can use Darksteel to craft light or heavy darksteel armors.

Heavy darksteel armor costs more and will make you heavy, slowing you down, but has a lot more protection.

It is even slightly better than netherite in terms of protection.

Light darksteel armor costs darksteel and ripped cloth (obtained from mobs) it exists in red and black variants.

It will make you lighter, reducing your fall damage, making you jump  higher and speeding you up.

Darksteel also has its own building blocks.

Darksteel now also has many new exotic weapons it can be crafted in, such as the Darksteel Hook sword, which can grab opponents like a fishing rod, the Darksteel Battleaxe, which has an extended range and slow and powerful attacks, the Darksteel Hammer, which deals more damage to creatures with armor, and has an exclusive enchantement, Smash, which has 3 levels, and gives it a chance of knocking mobs away in an area, and in the air... And finally the Darksteel Tortured Sword, which deals low damage, is quite fast, and gives Haste and Strength when held in both hands and attacking ennemies (Better Combat mod not required but it's better with it), making combos deadly

# 🕯️ Dark Rituals 🗡️ #

Lost deep in Limbo, you might lose hope. You may turn to these spirits. These behemoths of power, the Dark Gods. You can build altars to them by placing two gristone blocks and any type of slab from the mod between them, with a skeletton skull on one side and candles on the other. To perform rituals, you will need offering idols, made from darksteel, grimstone, and dried blood, or cursed bones, darksteel and dried blood. (use the JEI mod to get all the recipes) You can direcly right click them on the dark altar (on the middle slab) to appease the dark gods. (If the offering succeeds, you will gain a lot of worthiness) you can as well hold them in our offhand, whilst right clicking on the altar with a darksteel dagger or a carbon blood dagger to start a ritual, which, if it succeeds, can give you very good loot, including otherwise unobtainable loot.

If  you use offerings too much, the gods will punish you for your greed. If they see you as sinful, you won't be able to perform rituals. You can see your worthiness displayed using a Mirror of Souls, an item which becomes darker the worthier you are, and redder the unworthier you are.

Killing villagers restore your worthiness. When at full worthiness (10 : the mirror is pitch black), iron golems will attack you.

🪙 Dark Rituals Rewards

Dark Rituals can reward you with multiple items, but some of them are exclusive and cannot be crafted in another way. These include : the Totem of Ressurection and the Empty Scroll, which can be crafted into two types of scrolls, the Thunder Scroll, and the Adrenaline Scroll

# 🩸The Carbon Blood tool set# The end game set of the mod is called Carbon Blood. It includes every piece of armor and tool of a material set.

You first need to make Carbon ingots, which are made from 1 Darksteel Plate, 4 Coal, and 4 Whithered Apples.

Then, you need Dried Blood. for that, just put blood bottles in a furnace.

Finally, with 3 carbon ingots and 6 dried blood, you can make 4 Blood Infused Steel Ingots

For the tools, you'll also need a darksteel handle made from Withered Sticks and Darksteel Ingots.

As said previously, Just enough items  is STRONGLY recommended, in order to know all the recipes, which are complicated and not fully detailed here.
