Blocks Fight Back

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.

Features

  • Blocks come alive and chase you, with a health bar over their head
  • They find their way around walls and terrain to reach you
  • Fights work like real Minecraft combat — same reach, same weapon cooldown, same crits
  • Your armor, shields, Protection, Thorns, and weapon enchantments all still work
  • Kill them however you want: sword, bow, crossbow, potions, TNT, fireworks
  • Silk Touch, Fortune, and XP drops work exactly like normal
  • Flowers, grass, kelp, and other tricky blocks are handled properly
  • Blocks go back to normal if you die, log off, change worlds, or switch to Creative or Peaceful
  • Chests, portals, command blocks, and bedrock are left alone
  • Three difficulty presets — Classic, Survival, Chaos — or save your own
  • In-game Block Browser on both versions: search and click to pick which blocks fight
  • Once a block wakes up you can't mine your way out — you have to fight it

Which version should I get?

Paper / Purpur Fabric / Quilt
Minecraft 1.21.11, or 26.1–26.2 1.21.11, 26.1–26.1.2, or 26.2
Java 21 (1.21.11), 25 (26.x) 21 (1.21.11), 25 (26.x)
Dependencies none none
Singleplayer no yes
In-game Block Browser ✅ ✅
Custom saved presets ✅ ✅
Permission control ✅ permission nodes ✅ op-level
/bfb include and /bfb exclude ✅ ➖ use the browser

Both versions have the same core gameplay and the same Block Browser. Paper adds permission nodes and typed include/exclude commands; Fabric is the one that works in singleplayer.

Either way, on a server only the server needs it — your friends can join with a totally normal Minecraft.

Not supported: Spigot, CraftBukkit, Folia, Forge, NeoForge, Sponge, or hybrid servers.

Default settings

How to install

Paper or Purpur

  1. Stop the server completely
  2. Delete any older Blocks Fight Back JAR
  3. Put the new JAR in your plugins folder
  4. Start the server
  5. Type /bfb help

Fabric or Quilt

  1. Install Fabric Loader 0.19.2 or newer (or Quilt Loader)
  2. Put the JAR file in your mods folder
  3. Start the game or server
  4. Type /bfb status

Commands

/bfb and /blocksfightback both work.

Both versions

Command What it does
/bfb start Turns it on
/bfb stop Turns it off
/bfb status Shows whether it's on and which preset is active
/bfb help Opens an in-game book with everything explained
/bfb reload Loads your settings again
/bfb killall Clears out every block that's currently alive
/bfb blocks Opens the Block Browser — search blocks and click to turn them on or off
/bfb blocks <search> Jumps straight to blocks matching a search
/bfb preset classic Balanced — the default
/bfb preset survival Tougher fights
/bfb preset chaos Exactly what it sounds like
/bfb preset custom save <name> Saves your current settings as a preset
/bfb preset custom load <name> Loads one back
/bfb preset custom list Shows everything you've saved
/bfb preset custom delete <name> Deletes one

Paper only

Command What it does
/bfb clear Puts all active blocks back
/bfb include add <block> Makes a block fight back
/bfb include remove <block> Takes it back off the list
/bfb include list Shows what you've added
/bfb include reset Puts the include list back to default
/bfb exclude add <block> Makes a block behave normally
/bfb exclude remove <block> Takes it back off the list
/bfb exclude list Shows what you've excluded
/bfb exclude reset Puts the exclude list back to default

On Fabric, use /bfb blocks to toggle blocks instead — or edit the config file directly and run /bfb reload.

Permissions (Paper only)

Permission Who gets it What it's for
blocksfightback.admin Ops Start, stop, reload, clear, and change settings
blocksfightback.status Everyone Check if it's running

On Fabric, changing settings requires operator level — there are no separate permission nodes.

Problems?

If you find a bug you can make happen again, tell me your Minecraft version, what platform you're on (Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Quilt), which version of Blocks Fight Back you have, and any red text from the console.
