Player Lives
by TheManZooper
Player Lives adds a configurable life count to survival, so a player who runs out of lives is out of the game.
What it does
Each player starts with a number of lives set by the server, and losing them ends the run for that player. The count can be changed by server administrators with commands, and a reset restores every player to the full amount at once. The mod fits hardcore-style worlds, SMP servers that want more tension, and event servers where elimination matters.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.8, 1.21.9 and 1.21.10, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.10 as the latest file. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
Key features
Configurable life count
The number of lives each player receives is set in the server configuration, so the rules can match the world.
Admin commands
Server administrators can view and change a player's lives with commands while a world is running.
Global reset
A single reset restores the maximum lives for everyone, which lets an event or season start over.
Lightweight system
The life system is a simple counter tied to each player, with no extra blocks, items or structures to manage.

Use cases
Hardcore-style modpacks
Modpacks with limited revives can use lives as the single source of revives, with the count set to match the pack.
Event servers
Event servers where elimination matters can run a round with a fixed number of lives and reset everyone between rounds.
Who it’s for: Server owners running SMP or event servers who want a lightweight way to add a life limit, and modpack authors building hardcore-style worlds on NeoForge 1.21.8 – 1.21.10.
