About PixelBlood

Do you feel like combat on your Minecraft server is missing something?

PixelBlood adds lightweight, configurable blood effects to your server, making every hit, critical strike, and death feel more alive without adding unnecessary bloat.

This revival version focuses purely on blood effects and combat atmosphere.

No custom items.
No damage holograms.
No signs.
No extra systems.

Just clean, configurable blood effects.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━​

Custom Mob Blood

Each mob can have its own blood block type.

For example:

Code (YAML):
EnemyMobs:
   Zombie : GREEN_TERRACOTTA
   Blaze : MAGMA_BLOCK
   WitherSkeleton : COAL_BLOCK
   Creeper : LIME_CONCRETE
This means:

  • Zombies can have rotten green blood.
  • Blazes can have molten orange blood.
  • Wither Skeletons can have black wither blood.
  • Creepers can have bright green ichor.

Blood trails and blood pools will automatically use particle colours that match the configured block.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━​

Bleeding System

PixelBlood includes an optional player bleeding effect.

When a player is hit, there is a configurable chance they will begin bleeding from their wounds.

Bleeding can:

  • Damage the player over time.
  • Show blood drip particles.
  • Play optional sounds.
  • Refresh duration if the player is hit again.
  • Stop safely at half a heart.

Bleeding will never kill the player by itself.
