MRTSimpleBleed

!Header

Lightweight Spigot/Paper/Folia plugin that adds a configurable bleeding system: when a player takes damage, they have a chance to start bleeding and take damage over time, with particles, sounds, and a BossBar showing the remaining timer.

Bleeding can be treated with bandages, deepens into higher intensity levels when you keep getting hit, and leaves a blood trail behind a fleeing player.

Features

• Fully configurable chance, duration, interval, and damage per tick
• Bandages — right-click an item to treat your wound, with cast time, cooldown, and interruption on movement or damage
• Intensity levels — repeated hits deepen the wound instead of being ignored; damage and particles scale with the level
• Per-cause and per-weapon chances — swords make you bleed, falling does not
• Blood trail — a bleeding player leaves drops behind them as they move
• Potion effects while bleeding — optional slowness, weakness, or anything else, scaling with intensity
• PlaceholderAPI support — bleed state for scoreboards, tab lists, and holograms
• Folia support — every task is region-aware, so it runs on modern threaded servers
• Customizable particles and sounds during bleeding
• BossBar with remaining timer (configurable color, style, and title)
• Customizable messages with & color codes, &#RRGGBB hex colors, and placeholders
• Per-world blacklist and optional WorldGuard integration: bleed-allowed flag and/or region list in config
• mrtsimplebleed.bypass permission to exempt staff/VIPs
• Automatic config merge — updating the jar adds new options to your existing config.yml while keeping your values and your comments

Compatibility

• Minecraft: 1.21 → 26.2 (a single jar covers the whole range)
• Server: Spigot, Paper, Purpur, Folia
• Java: 17+
• Optional dependencies: WorldGuard 7.0.9+, PlaceholderAPI 2.11+

Installation

1. Download MRTSimpleBleed.jar from the latest release
2. Place it in your server's plugins/ folder
3. Start the server — plugins/MRTSimpleBleed/config.yml will be generated
4. Edit the config as desired and run /bleed reload

Updating from SimpleBleed 1.0.0

• Your configuration is migrated automatically on first start from plugins/SimpleBleed/. The old folder is kept as a backup.
• Permissions changed from simplebleed.* to mrtsimplebleed.*. This is not automatic — update your LuckPerms (or equivalent) groups. The new mrtsimplebleed.admin node grants everything at once.
• Remove the old SimpleBleed.jar from plugins/ before starting, or both plugins will fight over the /bleed command.

PlaceholderAPI

Placeholder	Returns
%mrtsimplebleed_bleeding%	true / false
%mrtsimplebleed_bleeding_formatted%	configured wording, e.g. Bleeding / Healthy
%mrtsimplebleed_level%	intensity as a number, 0 when not bleeding
%mrtsimplebleed_level_roman%	intensity in Roman numerals
%mrtsimplebleed_seconds%	whole seconds remaining
%mrtsimplebleed_time%	remaining time as M:SS
%mrtsimplebleed_progress%	remaining fraction, e.g. 0.75
%mrtsimplebleed_bandage_cooldown%	seconds until another bandage may be used
%mrtsimplebleed_total_bleeding%	how many players are bleeding server-wide

WorldGuard Integration

If WorldGuard is installed, you can disable bleeding in a region in two ways:

1. Native flag: /rg flag <region> bleed-allowed deny
2. Config list: add the region name under worldguard.disabled-regions

Both apply — if either one blocks, bleeding will not start.

Folia

Every scheduled task is bound to the player's region, so the plugin runs unmodified on Folia as well as on Spigot and Paper. The platform is detected at startup and named in the enable message. No configuration needed.
