❤️ Core Features

• Heart Stealing: Slay other players to steal their hearts and increase your maximum health.
• High-Stakes PvP: Losing hearts makes you weaker, creating intense and meaningful combat.
• Unique Elimination System: When a player runs out of hearts, they aren't banned. They become a "ghost" in a purgatory-like state—weak and unable to interact with the world until a friend revives them.
• Craftable Items: Craft powerful "Hearts" to permanently increase your health and legendary "Revival Totems" to bring your eliminated friends back from the brink.
• Interactive GUIs: Use the Revival Totem to open a menu of eliminated players, or use /rs recipe to see how to craft the custom items.
• Configurable Sounds: Every command and action has a configurable sound effect for immersive feedback.
• Fully Configurable: Almost everything can be changed in the config files, from crafting recipes to sound effects and heart drop rules.
• HD Texture Pack Ready: Full support for custom textures via CustomModelData.
