🔥 Key Features

⚔️ Classic LifeSteal Mechanics

• PvP Heart Stealing: Eliminate enemy players to steal their hearts (+1 Heart / +2 HP per kill).
• Flexible Elimination System: Configurable to lose hearts on all deaths (mobs, fall damage, environmental) or PvP kills only.
• 0-Heart Ban/Kick: When a player reaches 0 hearts, they are automatically eliminated with custom ban/kick messages until revived.

🔮 Interactive Player Revivals & Holograms

• Revival Totems: Craft custom totems to bring back banned or eliminated teammates.
• Visual Hologram Displays: Displays live 3D holograms, end-rod countdown rings, and Totem-pop particle effects during revivals.
• GUI Selection: Interactive in-game GUI menu for choosing which eliminated player to bring back.
• Configurable Starter Hearts: Set exact starting health for newly revived players (default: 5 hearts).

💎 Physical Heart Economy & Crafting

• Extra Heart Crafting: Craft consumable Life Hearts using customizable recipes (Nether Star base) to increase max health.
• Heart Withdrawal (/withdrawheart): Safely convert extra max health into physical, tradeable items for player trading and shop economies.
• In-Game Recipe Viewer (/lsrecipe): Visual GUI allowing players to inspect all custom Lifesteal crafting recipes on the fly.

🛡️ Built-In Anti-Exploit & Anti-Alt Safeguards

• IP-Based Kill Protection: Automatic detection blocks players from farming alt accounts on the same IP address.
• Killer-Victim Cooldowns: Prevents pair-farming and kill abuse between the same two players.

⚙️ Combat Rules & Customization Toggles

• Custom Mechanics Switches: Directly toggle or disable Vanilla Totems of Undying, End-Crystal PvP explosions, or Heart Crafting directly from config.yml.
• Full Message Localization: Customize every string, error message, and prompt using legacy color codes (§) or modern MiniMessage formatting (messages.yml).
• PlaceholderAPI Support: Full soft-dependency integration for custom scoreboards, TAB lists, and hover displays.
