BountyLoss
by FrostyDaan
BountyLoss ties a player's hearts to combat outcomes on a Fabric server, so each fight carries a real cost.
What it does
Every player starts with a set number of hearts. Hearts are gained and lost through gameplay actions, and a player who runs out of hearts is banned from the server until someone revives them. Physical Heart items can be taken out of the heart pool, and a fresh Heart item is crafted from four Trial Keys, four Diamond Blocks and one Enchanted Golden Apple.
Players are assigned random bounty targets. Eliminating the target within the time limit completes the bounty and changes the player's heart count, which makes the outcome of each fight matter. The mod is built around risk and reward in combat and is progression-based. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, and is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved. Both the server and every player need it, so clients and the server must run the same build.

Use cases
Risk-focused survival servers
Server owners can run fights where a loss has lasting consequences, since a player who runs out of hearts loses access until revived.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want combat to carry a lasting cost, and players who take part in bounty-based PvP on a Fabric server.
How it compares
Bounty Hunt is server-side only, runs on Fabric for 1.20.1 – 1.21.6 and is not open source. Lifesteal is also server-side only, covers 1.21 – 1.21.11 on Fabric and is not open source. Both differ from BountyLoss because only the server needs them, while BountyLoss must be installed on the client as well.
