DarknessHealth

DarknessHealth is a lightweight mini-game plugin for Minecraft 1.20+ that introduces a unique survival twist: the darker it gets around the player, the lower their maximum health becomes.

Use it to create horror events, survival challenges, adventure maps, or custom mini-games where darkness is a real threat.

📝 How It Works

• Every 10 ticks, the plugin checks the player’s light level.
• Light level < 10 → max health decreases proportionally.
• Full darkness (0) → either 1 HP or instant death (configurable).
• Health resets automatically once the player steps into light.
• Does not affect Creative or Spectator players.
