Deathlink
Deathlink is a lightweight Minecraft datapack that links all players’ lives together. If any player dies, everyone dies instantly. Perfect for chaotic co-op worlds, challenge runs, and content creators who want high-stakes gameplay.
Deathlink is a gameplay datapack that adds a shared-life mechanic to Minecraft. When any player dies for any reason, including combat, fall damage, or environmental hazards, all players in the world are immediately killed as well. This creates a high-stakes multiplayer experience where survival depends on teamwork, communication, and careful decision-making.
The datapack works by monitoring each player’s death count using Minecraft’s built-in scoreboard system. When a player’s death count increases, Deathlink triggers a global event that kills every other player. This behavior runs automatically in the background and does not require configuration after installation.
