Mel Medical

by mell0w

Mel Medical adds injuries and medical items to Minecraft, with its design based on the medical system of Escape from Tarkov.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Players can receive a bleeding effect after taking damage from some sources, with only a small chance per hit. Bleeding can also come from a fall or from sprinting while wounded, and once a bleed ends there is a chance it starts again. Painkillers and other medical effects can be applied, and bandages, splints and surgery kits treat injury types such as bleeding, fractures and severe injuries. Medical items heal the player, and most medical kits other than the AI-2 stop bleeding at a cost of extra durability.

The mod is built for Forge and NeoForge, and it must be installed on both the server and the client. Curios API is required, and FirstAid is an optional dependency that the mod can work alongside. Files cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the latest Forge build 1.5.2 for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge build 0.1.0 for 1.21.1 published on the beta channel. The code is released under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Injury and bleeding

    Damage from some sources can cause bleeding, and a fresh wound can produce a further bleed after the first one ends.

  2. Medical kits and items

    First Aid Kits such as the Salewa, CAR kit and AI-2 kit heal the player and treat injuries.

  3. Painkillers and treatments

    Painkillers, AI-2 injectors, Ibuprofen and Augmentin apply a painkiller effect, while bandages, splints and surgery kits fix specific injuries.

  4. Medical station

    A station gives players a place to craft medical items, and crafting them uses fewer resources than in other setups.

What the author says

Due to there being no updates to First Aid 1.21.1 NeoForge, it's not reccomended to use this mod at its current state until there is a port or direct update by the mod developer. As of 8/16/2026, I'm sad to announce that Mel Medical will not undergo a code overhaul. The reason why is because I've recently gotten a…
