XDeathsBans
by vowxky
XDeathsBans sets a death limit for players on a Minecraft server, and a player who reaches it is banned for a set time or permanently.
What it does
Server owners set a maximum number of deaths before a ban applies. Once a player reaches that count, the server bans them, and the ban can be temporary or permanent. The duration of a temporary ban is configurable, so a server can lock a player out for an hour or for a longer period. The mod is aimed at hardcore survival servers, where a death carries real weight.
Deaths can be restricted to player-versus-player kills, so only deaths caused by another player count toward the limit. Temporary bans can be switched on or off. The mod runs on Fabric and is needed on the server, while players can add it to their client but do not have to. The author retains all rights, and the project's source code and issue tracker are publicly linked, so the code can be read even though the license does not grant reuse. Files cover game versions 1.19.2, 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.2, with 1.0.1 for 26.2 as the latest Fabric build, published 2026-07-19.

Configurable ban duration

PvP-only death counting
Deaths can be limited to player-versus-player kills, leaving environmental and mob deaths outside the count.
