DeathMeter

Bring real consequences to your server with DeathMeter — a simple and persistent life meter system for Paper 1.21.1.

Each player has their own meter. They can earn lives by killing other players in PvP, lose lives on death, and once their meter reaches 0, they are automatically kicked and banned.

DeathMeter is built for servers that want a clean life-based survival or PvP mechanic without bloated features or difficult setup.
