Bring a true and customizable
hardcore experience to your Minecraft server!
With CraftelHardcore Lives, each player gets a limited number of lives – fully configurable – and faces real consequences when they run out.

Works with most scoreboard plugins like FeatherBoard, TAB, and more.
You can color the hearts using `§c` or `&c` in your scoreboard plugin config.
