Mine a block. Now fight it.
Break a block and it doesn't drop — it stands up, comes after you, and hits back. Beat it and you get the normal drops. Lose and, well, you got beaten up by dirt.
Type /bfb blocks to open a searchable menu of every block in the game. Click any block to turn it on or off. No config editing, no restarting.
| Setting | Default |
|---|---|
| Damage when a block hits you | 2.5 hearts |
| How often it can hit | Once per second |
| How far it can spot you | 64 blocks |
| Block health | Based on how tough the block is (4–50) |
| Most blocks alive at once | 100 on the server, 25 per player |
| How long they last if nobody's near | 2 minutes |
| Starting preset | Classic |
Everything's in config.yml, and /bfb reload picks up changes.
| Build | Versions |
