CravenCraft's Bloody Bits

When an entity takes damage, the mod emits blood spray particles whose count and speed scale with the attack's damage. The particles land on almost any surface, whatever its shape. Spatters on a ceiling drip again at random intervals. Certain damage types, arrows by default, produce a blood mist instead, and a killing blow dealt with a blood mist damage type doubles the mist's size. The mist size is configurable.

The mod is built on the Forge and NeoForge loaders and is open source under the MIT License. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files cover 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, with 2.1.0-1.21.1 as the latest NeoForge file and 2.1.0-1.20.1 as the latest Forge file, both dated 2026-08-28. The project was first published on 2024-10-18.

Settings live in NeoForge's in-game config menu, so the config directory does not need to be opened by hand. The client config sets values such as the blood spatter lifetime and sound volume. The common config holds a blacklist of damage sources that never cause bleeding. Fire and starvation are already excluded, and server owners can add more. Blood colors are defined per entity type in a datapack that overrides the mod's default one.
