LivesSMP
LivesSMP, a plugin where players start with a limited number of lives. Each death reduces their lives, and losing them all results in a ban until revived by another player using a custom-crafted Revive Crystal.
📖About LivesSMP
🧡 LivesSMP
⚔️ Core Concept
Players begin with a configurable number of lives (default: 3).
Every death subtracts one life. When a player’s lives reach 0, they are automatically banned until another player revives them using the Revive Crystal, a special item crafted with rare materials.
✨ Features
✅ Configurable Life System — Set starting-lives and max-lives in config.
💀 Ban on 0 Lives — Players are banned automatically until revived.
💎 Revive Crystal — Fully customizable crafting recipe for reviving banned players.
♾️ Unlimited Lives Mode — Set max-lives: -1 to remove all life limits.
⚙️ Admin Commands — /addlives, /setlives, /removelives, /checklives, /toplives.
💬 Custom Messages — All messages and prefixes are configurable with hex color (&#RRGGBB) support.
💾 MySQL or YAML Storage — Switch easily between local file or database persistence.
📊 PlaceholderAPI Support — Display lives and status with %livessmp_lives% and %livessmp_status%.
🪄 Cross-Compatible — Works on Paper, Purpur, and Spigot (1.21+).
