Iron's Simple Blood
by iron431
Iron's Simple Blood is a visual enhancement mod for Forge and NeoForge that adds cartoonishly violent blood effects, ground decals and configurable blood types to combat.
What it does
Blood effects, ground decals and blood types appear during fights, giving the game a stylized, cartoonish gore look. A graphic content setting lets a client turn off blood effects that are marked as graphic, and the blood types can be adjusted through the config file.
The mod lists compatibility with a range of other catalog mods, including Iron's Spells n Spellbooks, Guard Villagers, Born Chaos, Ice Fire and Let's Brewery, and it also works with modded entities through requests submitted to the author. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, under the MIT License, and the code is not open source.
