What is Lifesteal?
Lifesteal is a competitive survival mechanic: killing another player steals one of their hearts. When a player’s hearts reach zero, they are eliminated (deathban or spectator mode, configurable).
Features
- Heart Stealing – Gain a heart every time you kill another player; they lose one.
- Heart Loss on Death – Dying (PvP or PvE) removes hearts, configurable minimum.
- Eliminations & Deathbans – When hearts reach zero, players are eliminated (deathban or spectator mode toggle).
- Custom Heart Items – Withdraw hearts as items; right‑click to consume and gain hearts.
- Heart Drops or Auto-Give – Choose if hearts drop on death or go directly to the killer.
- Highly Configurable – Change maximum hearts, revive cost, deathban time, messages, and more.
- Persistent Heart Data – Supports flatfile and optional SQLite/MySQL (for cross‑server sync).
- PvP vs PvE Customization – Separate heart loss and death messages for PvP vs PvE deaths.
- Advanced Deathban Options – Actionbar/bossbar countdown, configurable ban reason, revive system.
- Revival System – Use /revive to bring back banned players at a cost of hearts.
- PlaceholderAPI Support – %lifesteal_hearts%, %lifesteal_max_hearts%, %lifesteal_deathbanned%.
- Color Customization – Full RGB & gradient support in messages.yml.
- Auto-Update Checker – Alerts admins when a new version is available.
- And more! – /hearts top, /hearts giveall, cooldowns, and more.
