Please read the concept of this plugin
Concept :
- 1. Player A and Player B gets default 3 lives and 10 Hearts
- 2. Player A killed Player B, then Player B will lose 1 live (remaining = 2) and in exchange of the live, player B will get +5 Hearts (total = 15).
- 3. If Player A again killed Player B, then Player B will lose 1 live (remaining = 1) and in exchange of the live player B will get +5 Hearts (total = 20)
- 4. After this if Player B killed Player A, then Player B will gain 1 live and -5 Hearts.
-
NOTE : The maximum hearts obtainable are 25 and maximum lives are 3, so no one can go beyond it (untill changed from config.yml)
1. Plugin Description
ZLives is a unique Minecraft plugin that introduces a lives and heart system to your server. Players start with a limited number of lives and hearts, and their actions (such as killing other players or being killed) affect their lives and hearts. Key features include:
- Lives System: Players start with a default number of 3 lives. When a player loses all their lives, they are eliminated and put into spectator mode.
- Heart System: Players have a limited number of hearts, default is 10 (20 Heart points). Hearts determine the player’s max health.
- Revival System: Eliminated players can be revived using a special Revive Book or by an admin using the
/revivecommand. - Elimination Animation: When a player is eliminated, a dramatic animation and sound effect play to signify their elimination.
- Customizable Config: The plugin allows server admins to configure default lives, hearts, and other settings via the
config.ymlfile. - Commands:
/lives: Check your remaining lives and hearts./revive <player>: Revive an eliminated player (admin-only)./elimination-animation: Play the elimination animation on a player or at specific coordinates (admin-only).
