Estus
| Type | Magic material |
|---|
Estus is the magic substance at the center of enchanting in Matcha Flavoured. It is dropped by undead mobs and passes through several forms: Raw Estus heals the player when picked up and turns into Estus Ash, which is crafted into Stabilized Estus or Crystallized Estus. The name is a reference to the healing estus of the Dark Souls series.[1]
The estus items replace the blaze-related items and glowstone of vanilla Minecraft.
| Form | Replaces | Obtained from | Used for |

| Blaze Powder | Zombies, husks, drowned and zombie villagers; decorated pots | Turns into Estus Ash when picked up, healing the player | |
| Glowstone Dust | Picking up Raw Estus; skeletons, strays, bogged and witches; many chests; fishing | Blessings, Stabilized Estus, many foods, Spectral Arrows | |
| Blaze Rod | Crafting only | Hell-Bound Books, eyes of ender, Warding Stones | |
| Glowstone | Crafting from 4 Estus Ash; bastion chests | Light source, Electric Lamps, respawn anchors | |
| Estus Flask | — | Removed in 1.12.2 | A healing drink |
Mechanics
Healing
When a player who is not in Creative mode gets Raw Estus in their inventory, each piece is used up at once: it grants a burst of Regeneration V and Resistance I, and is replaced with one Estus Ash.[2] Killing zombies is therefore a way to heal in a fight, since the pack has no natural regeneration.
Magic
Estus Ash is the most common magic ingredient. Seven of them, a Benzene and a Stable Void make one Stabilized Estus, which is the core of every Hell-Bound Book and of the eye of ender.[3]
Blazes, which are not undead, do not drop any estus; they drop fire charges instead.[4]
History
| 0.5-alpha | Raw Estus is no longer processed in Creative mode. Estus processing optimized. |
|---|---|
| 1.10 | Blazes no longer drop Raw Estus. Raw Estus gets fire and smoke particles and a new texture. The release notes list the Estus Flask as removed. |
| 1.12 | The release notes state that the Estus Flask stays in the pack. |
| 1.12.1-alpha | Raw Estus can no longer fuel brewing stands. Estus Ash added to the fishing junk pool. |
| 1.12.2 | The Estus Flask is removed. |
