Changelog

2.1.0 — The Gore & Customization Update

🧟 Wounds on Mobs

• The full wound system now works on mobs: Zombies, Husks, Drowned, Zombie Villagers, Piglins, Piglin Brutes, Zombified Piglins, Villagers, Wandering Traders, Witches, Vindicators, Pillagers, Evokers and Illusioners
• Zombie-type mobs bleed darker, rotten blood
• Skeletons are intentionally excluded — bones don't bleed

🌍 Environmental Gore (all toggleable)

• Ground pools: blood pools grow under heavily bleeding players, mobs and corpses, dry to brown and fade away — rain washes them off faster
• Wall splatter: heavy hits splatter blood onto nearby blocks (every player sees the same pattern, no extra network traffic)
• Drip particles: fresh heavy wounds drip blood to the ground
• Bloody weapons (experimental): weapons drip blood after melee hits until washed off

🖥️ First-Person Feedback

• Red damage vignette that scales with how wounded you are (pulses when badly hurt)
• Blood splatters on your screen when taking heavy hits

⚙️ Setup Screen & Presets

• First-launch setup screen with visual previews and presets: Realistic, RPG, Cinematic, Soft, Minimal
• Create your own preset and share it as a short code (e.g. BBO1:63:45) — friends can import it, and servers can enforce one for all players via the server config (sharedPreset)
• Reopen the setup anytime with /bloodsetup or the Blood... button in Options
• Admin commands: /betterblood clear and /betterblood wound <limb> <category> <severity>
• Full client + server config files

⚔️ Mod Compatibility

• Epic Fight: wounds now render on the animated battle-mode model and follow combat animations (fixes blood disappearing in battle stance)
• Corpse: corpses show the wounds you died with — blood keeps drying on the body, and players arriving later still see it

🔧 Fixes & Internals

• Players who join or come close later now see existing wounds on others (sync fix)
• Removed the legacy 1.0 overlay system
• Wound texture lifecycle cleanup (no leaks when mobs despawn or players respawn)

2.0.0 — The Wound Update (complete rewrite)

• Replaced the health-based overlay with a true wound simulation: every hit creates an individual wound at the actual hit position (body part, side and height)
• Seed-generated textures at runtime — no two wounds ever look the same
• Damage types: cuts/blood (weapons, arrows, explosions, falls), burns (fire & lava, scattered across the body, not washable), bruises (unarmed hits)
• Blood drips pixel by pixel and flows downward: head → torso → legs
• Blood dries to brown over time; water and rain wash it off, leaving a unique scar that fades as you heal
• Bruises age like real hematomas: purple → green → yellow
• Full multiplayer sync — everyone sees everyone's wounds
• ⚠️ Breaking change: the mod must now be installed on the server as well (singleplayer works out of the box)
