🆘 Concussion & Rescue System
When players take fatal damage, they enter a 5-minute concussion state instead of dying instantly. Teammates can rescue them using:
Golden Apple → 20% health recovery
Enchanted Golden Apple → 50% health recovery + permanent +1 heart max health (if below 10 hearts)
Totem of Undying → Full heal (minimum 20 HP)
Players who aren't rescued become ghosts with special abilities:
Invisibility and night vision
Flight capabilities
Instant healing and saturation effects
Cannot interact with the world (blocks, entities, items)
Switch between ghost and spectator modes with /necromode
Ghosts can be properly resurrected through dangerous totem rituals:
Requirements: Reviver must hold totems in both hands with at least 4 hearts of health
Progressive Difficulty: Revival failure chance starts at 70% and decreases with successful attempts between same players (minimum 10%)
Consequences: Failed revivals spawn zombie versions of the target
Health Exchange: Reviver loses 2 hearts max HP, resurrected gains 1 heart max HP
Force Revival: /necroforce <player|all> for emergency situations
Quick Transition: /ghostnow to skip concussion timer
Manual Ghost Toggle: /gamemode ghost (with permission)
Configurable Death Modes: Choose between ghost or spectator afterlife
