Hardcore Revive+
by suerion
Hardcore Revive+ lets a player who has lost a life be brought back by a teammate, using a configurable lives system on a server.
What it does
The mod is a data pack that changes Hardcore mode so each player receives a set number of lives rather than one. Living players can revive a fallen friend, and a revive can also happen automatically after a configurable delay. Players can recover lives, take lives from others, and watch over living players to assist them. After the final life is lost, the player becomes a Ghost instead of leaving the world permanently.
The project is community maintained and began with work by one original creator, with that creator's permission. Development continues alongside the original data pack, with an optional standalone Fabric mod for features a data pack cannot provide. Players may add it, while the server needs it, so either way the server carries the mod. Files are published for 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, and the code is open source under the Apache License 2.0.
