LimitedLives
LimitedLives caps how many times each player can die on a Fabric server, and a player who reaches the limit is moved into spectator mode.
What it does
Each death is counted per player. When the count reaches the configured number of lives, the player switches to spectator mode and stays there. The maximum can be changed in a configuration file that the server creates on first start, in config\limitedlives, and the file's settings can be edited while the server is running. Players also receive chat messages about their remaining lives, so the limit stays visible during play.
The mod is installed on the server only, by placing the JAR file in the mods folder of a Fabric server. Players join without installing anything. With LuckPerms present, the mod can exclude selected players from the life limit, so staff or test accounts are not affected. The mod is not open source; it is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, and the source code and issue tracker are public. It has Fabric files for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, with version 1.0.1 as the latest build from 2024-08-21.
Key features
Configurable life total
The number of lives is set in a JSON file, so server owners choose how many deaths a player gets.
Spectator mode at the limit
Once a player uses up every life, that player is switched to spectator mode.
In-game life changes
The number of lives can be edited from the game, so the limit can change without restarting the server.
