The SoulBond Hardcore Plugin is designed to elevate the hardcore experience on Spigot Minecraft servers by introducing unique mechanics such as multiple lives, ghost modes, revival systems, and clan dynamics. With this plugin, you can create an environment where every death counts, and players must think strategically to survive, thrive, and help their allies.

Version: 1.0
Author: Safal Bhurtel
Minecraft Version: 1.20+ To the Latest

Core Features:

• Player Lifecycle System:
  Players begin with a set number of lives and lose one life with each death. Once they run out of lives, they enter Ghost Mode, becoming a spectator in the game world.
  
  
• Ghost System:
  Players who run out of lives become ghosts who can observe but not interact with the world. They can chat with living players, and mechanisms are in place to revive them.
  
  
• Revival System:
  Players can revive others in three different ways: through a Heart Sacrifice (sacrificing health), using a Soul Revival Totem (a rare item), or using a Book of Revival (a mystical item with lower costs).
  
  
• Life Essence:
  A consumable item that grants players extra lives, allowing them to go beyond the default maximum number of lives.
  
  
• Soul-Bound Items:
  Players can bind items to their souls using a special book. These items stay with the player after death, offering an advantage in hardcore survival.
  
  
• Soul Power System:
  Earn Soul Power through player kills, surviving long periods, or winning PvP battles. Soul Power offers perks like extra hearts, buffs, and experience boosts, but it resets upon death.
  
  
• Clan Soul-Link System:
  Players can form clans, where the death of one member results in the loss of life for all members, adding a layer of teamwork and strategy.
  
  
• Cursed Death Drops:
  Items dropped upon a player’s death are cursed, allowing only the killer to claim them for a certain duration, with Soul-bound items being exempt from this rule.
