Minus Life

by ShelleySilly_

Minus Life starts each player with a random number of lives, and the lives are lost in a shared survival game with friends.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.21.6 – 26.2

What it does

Players begin with a random amount of lives, a Life-Series style setup that can run as a datapack on a server. Lives are shown by player color: dark green for four or more, lime for three, yellow for two and red for one. Dying costs five lives, and a player who runs out of hearts is removed from the series. Server owners need the mod or the datapack, and clients need nothing extra; the mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, plus a Data pack build, for game versions 1.21.6 – 26.2.

Key features

  1. Random starting lives

    Each player starts with a random number of lives, so runs in the same world differ from one another.

  2. Lives shown by color

    Player color reflects remaining lives, from dark green at four or more down to red at one.

  3. Kill rewards

    A player with a kill gains an extra life, and once a player reaches the last life, a kill restores two hearts.
