Blood and gore
Altiris:
Just because blockland has blood in it won't make it M+. Its vitural/fake looking blood. It just looks like a little dust cloud of blood. I would find it still E+ but if anything maybe 10+. I mean come on, you are made out of blood, you fall and hurt yourself you bleed, you die from getting run over, you bleed no?
People these days are too sensitive over things like this, I honestly don't think any parent would find the blood dust clouds inappropriate.

Workaround, make it read-only. No it will not break stuff.

Can you turn it off?
I never liked the blood and gore mode and rather not have it.

However, you're glossing over the main problem with default blood and gore, and that is how ridiculous and out of place it is in a game where the players are cartoony plastic figures. And besides, the thematic juxtaposition of cutesy toys with graphically violent skin-and-limb removal is unsettling. Fine, let people use it on their servers if they want to. I don't like the add-on myself, but as long as it stays out of the vanilla game everything's dandy.

Okay, okay. So there's a solution to everything, and I'm overreacting a bit. Still, the fact that it's default means it's put in front of everyone as an option when creating a server, making it that much more likely to run into it while browsing servers. That doesn't mean I feel like I have to live with it, though.

Not what I meant, but Altiris covered it anyway so thanks for nothing I guess.
