# Bleeding

Bleeding will be one of the negative effects that the player can receive.

Bleeding is caused by damage, it can be from a Zombie or damage from another player. To stop bleeding it is very important that you have a bandage on top.

As you bleed, you will gradually lose health, but you will not die. However, your life will always be reduced to <mark style="color:red;">`1❤ heart`</mark> as long as you don't stop the bleeding.
