Lifesteal

by MianReplicate

Lifesteal turns player kills into a heart economy, so a death costs hearts and killing other players can take them back.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverCustom license1.16.5 – 26.3

What it does

Players lose hearts when they die and can gain hearts back by killing other players. When a player runs out of hearts, the config decides whether that player is banned or switched to spectator mode. Players who have lost all their hearts can be revived automatically after a set time, or with a Revive Crystal.

The mod adds a new ore that spawns underground in the Overworld and the Nether, along with a crystal item and crystal cores used for crafting several items. Geodes that hold the ore can be found underground, and recipes can be looked up in an external recipe viewer or learned from the vanilla recipe book. Most features can be turned off or changed in the config file lifesteal-common.toml.

Custom content and textures are added, so the server and each client need the mod. It requires Forge Config API Port and Indestructible Blocks. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 25 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.3, and the code is not open source under a custom license.

Key features

  1. Heart loss and gain

    Dying removes hearts, and defeating another player adds hearts to the killer.

  2. Elimination outcomes

    When all hearts are lost, the config sets whether the player is banned or moved to spectator mode.

  3. Automatic revival

    Players who lost all their hearts return after a time set in the config, without any item.

  4. Crystal and ore crafting

    A new ore and a crystal item, with crystal cores used for crafting, add a separate progression path.
