Kill Switch
by derexXD
Kill Switch ties a player's life to the server itself, so when a single player dies the whole server shuts down.
What it does
The mod is a hardcore Fabric addition for servers. Each player's life is tied to the server's lifeline, so when a player takes fatal damage, the mod notices the death at once and triggers a server shutdown that ends the session for everyone. Players who die are not the only ones affected, since the shutdown applies to the entire server.
Kill Switch runs on the server side only, so players join without installing anything. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for Fabric across five game versions, 1.19 – 1.19.4, with 1.0.0.0 for 1.19.4 as the latest file, and the mod was developed in collaboration with Potatoes_Duck.
Key features
Single-death shutdown
A fatal hit to any player triggers an immediate stop command, closing the session for every player on the server.
Instant death detection
The mod reacts to the death event as it happens rather than on a timer, so the shutdown is not delayed.
Respawn second chances
Respawns are included as second chances, so a player can keep playing after a death before the lifeline is triggered.
