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
Zombie : GREEN_TERRACOTTA
Blaze : MAGMA_BLOCK
WitherSkeleton : COAL_BLOCK
Creeper : LIME_CONCRETE
- 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.
