SimpleDeathBans

by Partacus-SPQR

SimpleDeathBans applies a temporary server ban after a player dies, and the ban grows longer with each death in a survival or SMP world.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.9 – 26.1.1

What it does

Each death in a survival or SMP world sends the player to a temporary server ban. The length follows a tier system: the ban time scales with the tier, starting from a base multiplier, and the tier a player reaches is capped by a configurable maximum that defaults to disabled. Resurrection Rituals are part of the progression, and the commands used to manage bans require OP Level 4.

Two players can be bound together as Soul Partners. Damage Sharing passes part of the damage one partner takes to the other, with the share set in the config, and a Death Pact makes lethal damage kill both partners instantly. Totem Protection controls how a totem of undying behaves, and severing a Soul Link raises the ban tier. Soul Links and Mercy Cooldowns complete the system.

The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric only. Files cover 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1 and 26.1.1, with 1.3.0 as the latest file for 26.1.1. Fabric Loader 0.18.2 and Fabric API are required. Cloth Config is optional and adds a config screen with a clear layout of its settings. Both the server and every player need the mod, since the environment is client and server.

Key features

  1. Progressive death bans

    Each death applies a temporary server ban whose duration increases with the player's tier.

  2. Configurable tier cap

    A maximum tier limits how far the ban progression can climb, and the cap is disabled by default.

  3. Soul Partners

    Two players can pair up so that damage and consequences are shared between them.

  4. Death Pact

    When lethal damage hits one partner, both partners die at the same moment.

  5. Totem Protection

    The config sets how a totem of undying saves a player from death.

  6. Severing raises tiers

    Severing a Soul Link increases the ban tier, so breaking a bond carries a cost.
