LifestealWorld

A 1x1 replica of the real LifestealWorld plugin — every mechanic, every system, faithfully recreated.

🫀 Core Lifesteal

The foundation of everything. Kill players to steal their hearts — lose one when you die.

• Kill a player → steal 1 heart from them, gain 1 yourself. Both players are notified.
• Die to a player → lose 1 heart to them
• Players at the minimum heart floor cannot lose hearts, and their killer gains nothing
• Hearts persist through restarts and are correctly re-applied after every respawn
• Hearts cannot be crafted or absorbed while at 10 or more hearts — the only way to gain hearts above 10 is by killing players

Heart Limits

💎 Crafted Hearts

Hearts exist as physical craftable items that can be held and consumed.

Recipe:

[Trial Key]   [Ghast Tear]   [Trial Key]
[Ghast Tear]  [Eye of Ender] [Ghast Tear]
[Trial Key]   [Ghast Tear]   [Trial Key]

• Renders as a Nether Star with an enchantment glint
• Displayed as Crafted Heart in orange italic text
• Right-click to absorb and gain +1 heart instantly
• Shift-right-clicking does nothing — prevents accidental absorbs near containers
• Hearts can only be absorbed up to 10 hearts — above that, only killing players can increase your count

Storage Restrictions

Crafted Hearts are fully protected from any form of storage or automation:

• Cannot be placed into chests, barrels, shulker boxes, bundles, shelves, or any other container
• Cannot be moved via hoppers or minecart hoppers — neither from containers nor from the ground
• Dragging, shift-clicking, and number-key swapping into containers are all blocked
• Powered shelf hotbar swaps are blocked both on direct click and via redstone chain

📅 Week System

Controls the minimum heart floor for the entire server. Changing the week broadcasts a server-wide title and message with a sound.

• Week 1 (default) — players cannot drop below 3 hearts
• Week 2 — players cannot drop below 1 heart

🌍 World Border

The world border is applied to every dimension (overworld, nether, end) simultaneously and persists through restarts.

• Week 1 — 5,000 × 5,000 blocks (10,000 diameter)
• Week 2 — 20,000 × 20,000 blocks (40,000 diameter)
• Both sizes are fully configurable in config.yml
• Changing the border broadcasts a title and message to all players

🛡️ PvP Immunity

After dying to another player, a player receives 30 minutes of PvP immunity — a live countdown ticks in their action bar. Dying to natural causes (mobs, fall, fire, etc.) does not grant immunity.

• All player-sourced damage is completely blocked: direct hits, arrows, potions, explosions, fireballs, lingering clouds — anything originating from another player
• Non-player damage (mobs, fall, fire, hunger, etc.) applies normally
• Immunity is immediately stripped the moment the immune player equips any piece of armor or lands a hit on another player
• Duration is fully configurable in config.yml

⚗️ Strength II Potions

Strength II potions last 8 minutes instead of the vanilla 1:30.

• Applies to both drinkable and splash variants
• Works on all living entities hit by a splash
• Fully configurable — toggle or adjust the duration in config.yml

🏹 Enchantment Caps

The following enchantments are hard-capped regardless of how they are obtained.

Blocked at the enchanting table (both display and application), via books on an anvil, and by combining two items on an anvil. All caps are configurable in config.yml.

⚒️ Netherite Restrictions

Only specific tools may be upgraded to Netherite at the smithing table.

🔨 The Mace

Only 1 Mace may exist on the entire server at any time.

• The vanilla crafting recipe is permanently disabled
• The custom recipe is disabled by default and must be enabled via /mace enable or config

Custom Recipe:

[Heavy Core]
[Dragon Egg]
[Breeze Rod]

If a Mace already exists anywhere on the server — in an inventory or dropped on the ground — crafting is blocked and the result slot stays empty.

💥 TNT Minecarts

TNT Minecarts deal a maximum of 7 hearts of damage to players regardless of proximity or stacking. The cap is enforced after armor and protection reduction so armored players still receive the full 7-heart cap. Configurable in config.yml.

🌬️ Breeze Double Loot

Killing a Breeze drops twice the normal items and XP.

• Applies to all drops — breeze rods, any other loot, and experience orbs
• Toggleable in config.yml

👁️ Invisibility

When either the killer or the victim has the Invisibility effect, the death message is suppressed entirely — neither player's name appears in chat.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Villager Trades

All villager trades automatically restock once per trade session (every time a player opens the trade GUI). Closing and reopening the menu starts a fresh session.

🌍 End Dimension

End Portal

• Filling end portal frames with Eyes of Ender is disabled by default
• Must be explicitly enabled by an admin via /endportal enable

Ender Dragon

• Spawns with 2× health (400 HP instead of 200) — applies to both the initial spawn and all respawns
• The player dealing the most damage is shown live on everyone's action bar in red — updates in real time. Shows "No damage dealt yet" before the first hit
• When the dragon dies the action bar clears
• The Dragon Egg is not spawned on the bedrock pillar — it is given directly to the top damage dealer. Drops at their location if their inventory is full
• Dragon tracking resumes automatically if the server restarts mid-fight

☠️ The Purge

A high-stakes two-stage mode. Heart crafting and withdrawing are disabled for its entire duration.

Stage 1 (default on start)

• 2 hearts per kill instead of 1
• Heart crafting and withdrawing disabled
• Any player who dies at 1 heart is permanently banned

Stage 2

• 3 hearts per kill
• The End dimension is sealed — all players inside are teleported to the overworld spawn and end portals stop working
• Players in the Nether receive a permanent Wither effect until they leave
• Immediate respawn gamerule is enabled
• The player locator bar is enabled for all players
• The world border shrinks from 10,000 → 500 blocks over 3 hours, with a live countdown in the action bar
• Ban on death at 1 heart remains active

Ending the purge restores the world border, removes all wither effects, re-enables the End portal to its pre-purge state, turns off immediate respawn, and re-enables heart crafting.

⚔️ The Final Reckoning

A 2-hour endgame countdown that concludes the season.

• PvP remains enabled for the full 2 hours — a live countdown ticks in everyone's action bar
• Cannot be started while the Purge is active
• When the timer expires (or an admin ends it early), all PvP is permanently disabled
• A title broadcast lists all surviving players by name
• Cannot be started while the Purge is active

🛡️ Grace Period

Disables all PvP server-wide for 1 hour. A countdown ticks in everyone's action bar.

• Pausing temporarily re-enables PvP — resuming disables it again for the remaining time
• Stopping permanently re-enables PvP with a server-wide title, broadcast, and sound

🏆 Advancement Hunt

All players race to earn the most advancements in 3 hours.

• All advancements are wiped from every online player on start
• Players who join mid-hunt have their advancements wiped immediately on join
• The countdown ticks in the action bar
• When time ends, a title broadcast announces the winner and 1st place name
• 1st place receives +3 hearts — overflow goes to inventory, then drops on the ground if full
• Sound plays server-wide when the hunt ends

🗡️ Assassins Event

A structured assassination event where every participant has a secret target.

• Admin announces the event — players opt in before it starts
• On start, targets are assigned in a circular chain and shown as a dark red title on each player's screen
• Kill your target → steal 2 hearts, inherit their target, and continue the chain
• Killing a player who is not your assigned target steals no hearts
• Die to anyone → eliminated from the event
• Disconnect mid-event → cleanly removed from the chain, your assassin is re-linked to your target
• The countdown ticks in the action bar for 4 hours

End Rewards — Top 5 by kills receive a raised heart cap:

• Tied players share the same placement and bonus
• If a capped player dies in PvP their extra cap is lost and hearts reset to 20 — any hearts above 20 go to the killer, or drop if the killer is also at their cap
• Title and sound broadcast when the event ends, naming the 1st place player

🗺️ Locator Bar Event

Enables the player locator bar for a 2-hour window. All players are visible on the bar regardless of crouching, invisibility, or wearing carved pumpkins.

• Pausing disables the locator bar temporarily — resuming re-enables it
• Countdown ticks in the action bar
• Title and sound play when the event ends

🎒 Scavenger Hunt

Players race to collect 20 specific items in a set order within 3 hours. Each collected item is consumed from the player's inventory to prevent sharing exploits.

• Each player has their own independent progress
• The current required item and progress display in the action bar (2/20 Next: Echo Shard), separated from the timer by a ┃
• Collecting an item plays a sound and advances to the next
• Players who join mid-hunt start from item #1
• When time runs out the player with the highest item count wins
• Winner receives an unenchanted Netherite Chestplate — drops on the ground if inventory is full
• Title and sound play when the hunt ends, naming the winner

The 20 items in order:

Recovery Compass → Echo Shard → Goat Horn → Brush → Suspicious Stew → Music Disc 5 → Sniffer Egg → Flow Banner Pattern → Totem of Undying → Heart of the Sea → Nautilus Shell → Enchanted Golden Apple → Phantom Membrane → Disc Fragment 5 → Glow Ink Sac → Ominous Bottle → Warped Fungus on a Stick → Respawn Anchor → Bundle → Piglin Banner Pattern
