X-Life

by DAQEM Studios

X-Life changes the health system of a survival world: each player begins with one heart, and every death removes one heart.

FabricForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.16.3 – 1.20.1

What it does

The mod is built for the X Life SMP series. A player starts with a single heart, and each death costs one heart permanently. Once a player reaches zero hearts, the player enters spectator mode instead of respawning. It is published for Fabric and Forge on 1.16.3 – 1.20.1, and it needs Architectury API and SuperMartijn642's Config Lib, and runs on client and server.

Key features

  1. Single-heart start

    Players begin with one heart, so the first mistake carries real weight.

  2. Heart loss on death

    Each death removes one heart from the player's total, which makes the health pool shrink over time.

  3. Spectator mode at zero hearts

    A player who loses the last heart switches to spectator mode and cannot keep playing in the world.
