✨ What is DxLifeStealCore?

DxLifeStealCore is a feature-rich, SMP-ready LifeSteal plugin built for competitive Minecraft servers. It goes far beyond basic heart stealing — with tiered heart items, cinematic elimination effects, a full revive system, server events, Discord webhook integration, kill streaks, and a paginated revive GUI.

💡 Core Features

❤ Heart System

• Players start with a configurable number of hearts (default: 10)
• Killing a player steals hearts from the victim and gives them to the killer
• Hearts have a configurable minimum and maximum — players can grow up to 20 hearts!
• Steal chance is configurable — make it 100% or add RNG
• Optional heart loss on mob death or natural death
• Per-world heart settings support — different heart caps per world
• Heart economy: withdraw hearts to items, deposit items back, pay hearts to other players

🎴 Tiered Heart Items

Three tiers of craftable heart consumables, each with unique designs, lore, and effects:

Item	Tier	Hearts	Rarity	Recipe Center
❤ Heart Shard	Tier I	+1 ❤	Common	Nether Star + Golden Swords
💎 Heart Crystal	Tier II	+2 ❤❤	Rare	Diamond Blocks + End Crystal
✦ Heart Gem	Tier III	+3 ❤❤❤	Legendary	Emerald Blocks + Netherite Block

Plus the classic Stolen Heart (craftable with Gold Blocks, Nether Stars & Beacon) and the Heart Shield (Totem of Undying + Ghast Tears + Diamond Block) that blocks one heart loss on death.

⚰ Elimination System

When a player's hearts reach zero, they are eliminated. Choose from four elimination modes:

• BAN — Temporarily bans the player for a configurable duration (e.g. 3d, 12h)
• SPECTATOR — Converts the player to spectator mode
• KICK — Kicks the player from the server
• COMMAND — Executes a custom console command on elimination

Elimination comes with cinematic effects — a dark particle tornado, lava drips, skull cracks, wither sounds, and a dramatic death firework. The killer gets a golden sparkle celebration with victory fireworks and sounds.

🔄 Revive System

Eliminated players can be brought back by spending hearts:

• Configurable cost in hearts to revive (default: 5)
• Works for online and offline players
• Revive immunity after being revived — brief grace period
• Revive Book — craftable item (Emerald Blocks + Totems + Written Book)
• Paginated Revive GUI — browse up to 45 eliminated players per page with skull heads, status info, and one-click reviving
• Global toggle to enable/disable revives without restarting
• Server-wide broadcast on successful revive
• Discord webhook notification on revive

🔥 Kill Streak Bonuses

Players on a killing streak earn bonus hearts:

Kill Streak	Bonus Hearts
3 kills	+1 ❤
5 kills	+2 ❤❤
10 kills	+3 ❤❤❤

Streak thresholds and rewards are fully configurable.

🎉 Server Events

Activate limited-time events with a single command:

• Double Hearts Event — All heart gains are multiplied. Comes with a live BossBar countdown visible to all players.
• Heart Rain Event — All online players receive free hearts at a set interval for the event duration.

Events are started/stopped with /dxlifesteal event and run on a background task ticker.

📊 Leaderboards

Full leaderboard support with /dxlifesteal top:

• Sort by hearts, kills, deaths, or eliminations
• Configurable leaderboard size
• Auto-refresh interval for live ranking updates

🔗 Discord Webhook Integration

Get notified in your Discord server for key events:

• Player killed (heart stolen)
• Player death
• Player eliminated
• Player revived

Enable and configure via config.yml — just plug in your webhook URL.
