LifeSteal

Banner

Features:

  • Heart stealing: lose a permanent heart when you die, take one when you get a kill.
  • Inspired by the LifeSteal SMP made popular by YouTubers with very flexible configuration.
  • Server-authoritative and persistent: hearts are stored safely and survive restarts, reconnects, and name changes.
  • Two kill-reward styles to choose from: instantly transfer a heart from victim to killer, or drop a Heart item at the death location for anyone to pick up.
  • Eliminate at zero hearts: reach 0 and you're banned from the server until revived.
  • Revive Beacon system: craft a beacon, right-click it, type the eliminated player's name in chat, then confirm to bring them back with a fresh set of hearts.
  • Heart and Crafted Heart items let you top up your permanent hearts outside of combat, each with its own usable limit.
  • Withdraw command lets you convert your own permanent hearts back into physical Heart items if you want to trade them.
  • Fully custom crafting recipes for every item, toggleable individually without a server restart.
  • Admin toolkit to check, set, add, remove, ban, and unban player hearts, plus a paginated list of every eliminated player.
  • No client-side mod required: works with any vanilla client.

Installation:

  • Download the .jar file.
  • Install Fabric Loader and Fabric API on your server.
  • Place the .jar file in your server's mods folder.
  • Start the server once to generate the config files, then edit them as needed.
  • Keep in mind that changing the config files directly will require a restart or the use of the /reload command.
