    About

    Better Blood Overlay adds a visual wound simulation in which each hit creates a distinct, procedurally generated wound at the point of impact, on the affected body part and side. Weapon and arrow hits cause cuts, fire and lava leave charred burns, and unarmed blows cause bruises that age from purple to green to yellow; wounds bleed, dry over time, and can wash away to leave scars. Blood also affects the surroundings: it drips from fresh wounds, forms pools and wall splashes, stains weapons, and, in the newer blood-physics features, can spill over block edges, leave footprints, redden and disperse through water, and be smeared onto walls with a bloody weapon. The system affects mobs as well as players, including zombies, piglins, villagers, and illagers; zombie-type mobs bleed darker blood, while naturally bloodless creatures such as skeletons are excluded from configurable mob bleeding. A red damage vignette and screen splashes provide first-person feedback, while multiplayer synchronization lets players see one another’s wounds and shared environmental effects. Players can choose Realistic, RPG, Cinematic, Soft, or Minimal presets, customize settings such as blood amount and lifetime, and share configurations by code or have a server enforce a preset.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    What it can do on your computer

    Creates settings files
    The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them.

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · The latest file checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      1 latest file, for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.
      Read without running it
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.
      Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends

    We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · Its one file read
    • Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.
      The code of its one file, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.
      Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.

    AI

    No sign that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
