KLives!
by K1ndra
KLives! KLives! is a Fabric social mod that layers a lives system onto PvP, meaning a player who runs out of lives drops out of the fight.
What it does
Players joining a server with the mod start with five lives. Lives are lost only when a player is executed in a PvP fight, which keeps accidental kills from wasting lives. A player who loses all lives enters a ghost state in which they cannot interact with or attack anything.
After a player kills another, the victim enters a downed state. Another player can revive them by crouching and holding right-click for a few seconds. If no one revives the victim, the attacker executes them after five seconds. If neither happens, the downed player dies and loses a life after 30 seconds. A revived player may be restored at a Revival Shrine, an admin-spawned structure, and doing so takes one life from the player performing the revival.
The mod is built for server owners who want a social layer on a PvP server, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Fabric API is required. Files target 26.1.2 only, and the latest build is 1.0.7, published 2026-06-07 under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
