Wound
by BiggestXuan
Wound is a Forge utility mod for Minecraft 1.16.5 that adds a wound system, where damage sources can cause lasting injuries to players.
What it does
Damage from different sources can cause a wound, which tracks injury beyond the usual health bar. The wound system is tied to how a player is hurt, so a fight or a fall can leave a lasting effect instead of only reducing health. Wounds heal over time, and the rate of healing is configurable.
Wound resistance changes with the difficulty setting, so players face more lasting injury on harder settings than on easier ones. The mod also sets a maximum wound level, which caps how severe a wound can become. Both options are meant for server owners and single-player players who want the injury system tuned to their play style.
The mod runs on the client and the server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.16.5, with 1.0 as the latest file from 2023-01-17. The source code is open source under the MIT License, and the project has a public issue tracker.
Key features
Damage-based wounds
Certain damage sources can cause a wound, so injuries from combat or hazards carry over past the health bar.
Adjustable healing speed
The rate at which wounds heal can be changed, letting server owners set how quickly players recover.
Maximum wound level
A cap on wound severity limits how deep an injury can get, keeping the system within a set range.
Difficulty-based resistance
Wound resistance varies with the difficulty setting, so the injury effect differs between lower and higher difficulty levels.
