LiveSystem

LiveSystem is a powerful and highly configurable lives, elimination, revival, and progression system for Minecraft Paper servers.

Built for survival servers, SMPs, events, and competitive game modes, LiveSystem turns every death into a meaningful consequence while giving players multiple ways to recover, compete, and stay in the game.
