XBlood is a Vintage Story mod by Traptik. XBlood adds dynamic, damage-scaled blood splashes and lingering drops to make combat in Vintage Story feel more visceral.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod suits players who want combat impacts to leave a visible trace without turning Vintage Story into an excessively gory game. It is also useful for servers seeking adjustable blood duration and color behavior.
What XBlood adds
XBlood replaces understated combat feedback with more noticeable particle splashes. The amount and visual impact of blood scale with damage, so stronger hits can leave a more pronounced mark.
Fresh bright-red splatter remains visible for a shorter period, while darker drops can stay on the ground for several minutes. The particles gradually shrink as they approach the end of their lifetime, making the effect fade rather than vanish abruptly.
Server-side chat commands allow administrators to adjust the duration of the two splatter types and choose between the default red palette or a color variant. The alternate style gives drifter blood a slight purple tint and Bowtorn blood a brownish tone.
The effect is designed to stay atmospheric rather than overwhelm the world with particles. Weather and other particle-heavy scenes may still reduce how often blood appears.
