Lifesteal server

The SMP twist that took over YouTube: every kill takes a heart from the victim and gives it to you. Run out of hearts and you are out until a teammate brings you back.

What you get

  • Hearts change hands on every player kill
  • Elimination and revives, configurable
  • Grief logging and rollback for the chaos
  • Ranks, homes and kits from the SMP core

What we install

Checked live on Modrinth: every plugin has a stable build for Minecraft 26.1.2, so your server runs Paper 26.1.2. Descriptions come from each plugin's author.
