Description from the author on Modrinth

Lifesteal Enhanced

A paper plugin which aims to re-create the lifesteal concept but with some unique features.


Core Features

  • When you kill a player you steal their heart (options to drop the heart on death or add it directly to the killer's hearts)
  • When a player dies to natural causes they lose a heart (can be configured to drop it on the ground)
  • When a player loses all their hearts, or reaches the minimum, they ether can respawn and not lose a heart or can be banned until revived (can be configured)
  • Players can use a revive item to revive banned players (customizable recipe)
  • Players can also craft hearts with a customizable recipe.
  • You can use the /withdraw command to withdraw hearts.

Stand-Out Features

  • Option to ether get banned after death on minimum hearts or just not lose a heart (the killer doesn't get the heart ether in this case)
  • Customizable recipes for heart and revive
  • Ability to take hearts out of people's ender chests and inventory (can be customized or disabled in the config)
  • Ability to choose what containers hearts can be stored in
  • Customizable damage immunity and void immunity for hearts
  • Customizable limits for crafting hearts (maximum hearts the player is allowed to be on to be able to craft a heart, it counts hearts in ender chest and inventory for the calculation)

Configuration

Heart Removal Priority

Example 1

heart-removal-priority:

  • "BAR"
  • "INV"
  • "E-CHEST"
  1. BAR It takes a heart from the max health of the player, if they're at the minimum, it moves to the next option.
  2. INV It looks for heart items in the player's inventory and takes one if possible. If none are found, it moves on to the next option.
  3. E-CHEST It looks for hearts in the player's enderchest and takes one if possible, otherwise it either bans you or doesn't give the killer a heart depending on what ban-bellow-min is set to.

Example 2 (Default Lifesteal)

heart-removal-priority:

  • "BAR"

- "INV"

- "E-CHEST"

In this example it works just as normal lifesteal, it takes a heart straight from your max health. If you're at minimum health then it either bans you or doesn't give the killer a heart depending on what ban-bellow-min is set to.

Example 3

heart-removal-priority:

  • "INV"
  • "E-CHEST"
  • "BAR"
  1. INV If there are hearts in the player's inventory, take them instead of their maximum health. If not move on to the next option.
  2. E-CHEST Same thing as before but if they are in the player's ender chest.
  3. BAR If the player is above minimum hearts then take one of their maximum health, if not then it either bans you or doesn't give the killer a heart depending on what ban-bellow-min is set to.

Heart Dropping Behavior

NONE : none of the options, will still drop if the killer has max hearts and no inventory space (if give-item-on-max is true)

KILL : always drop when a player is killed or credited for a death

UNCREDITED : drop the heart item on player death even from a trap or accidental death but not from a kill

ALWAYS : always drop a heart on player death

drop-on-kill: NONE

drop-on-kill: NONE

drop-on-kill: KILL
