Solo-Lifesteal
Players who want a LifeSteal-style challenge can use Solo-Lifesteal in a single-player world or on a small Fabric server, where each death costs hearts that crafting can win back.
What it does
Each death removes a configurable number of hearts from the player. A crafted Nether Star Heart restores one, so players recover lost hearts through crafting rather than through any other source. An optional ban-on-zero mode turns the mechanic into true elimination: a player who runs out of hearts is removed from play.
Server owners and single-player players can manage hearts with admin commands covering heart totals and settings, and can edit the crafting recipe in a chest-style recipe editor opened with a lifesteal recipe command. Settings saved once can be reused across worlds, while each player's heart total is kept separately for every world.
The mod is built for Fabric and Minecraft 26.2 and requires Fabric API. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
