Birthday mode is a server mode that disables the use of blood and gibs, and instead replaces them with streams of confetti and balloons as well as miscellaneous "sillygibs" (see images below). In addition, all players appear to wear novelty party hats. It is enabled on servers by using the setting tf_birthday 1
in the server.cfg file. Party mode is automatically activated on August 24, the release date of the original Team Fortress in 1996.
Birthday mode features a full set of replacements for most violent graphics and animations, including sound replacements for critical hits. Instead of the standard crit sound, the sounds of party horns, champagne poppers and people cheering and clapping play. Many of the gibs seen in this mode are used in the low-violence or "sillygibs" version of the game as full-time replacements. A beach ball also spawns at the beginning of the round and may be propelled by attacks.

Update history
- Fixed bug with holiday date computation that turned on Birthday mode a few days too soon.
- Added a "Happy Birthday" beach ball that will randomly appear in spawn at the start of a round when Birthday mode is enabled.
Trivia
- It is possible to kill another player by propelling the beach ball towards someone at a fast enough rate, regardless of whether the player is on your team or not. When a player is killed through this method, it will appear as if that player committed suicide.
