X-Hearts
I don't know my version or loader
X-Hearts
Start on one heart, gain a heart every time you die. If you die at 10 hearts you are permanently dead.
Use /scoreboard players set @s deaths 0 to reset back to 1 heart
Inspired by the X-Life series
FAQ
Does this work on a server?
Yes. Go into your servers folders and go to world -> datapacks and put the datapack there. This datapack works multiplayer so play with however many people you would like!
Is there anyway to change the max amount of hearts?
Here are all the settings you can change:
/function xlife:settings/toggle_hardcorefor toggling whether to go into spectator after running out of hearts or not. By default it is on hardcore mode/function xlife:settings/max_hearts/increaseto increase the max amount of hearts. Default is 10/function xlife:settings/max_hearts/decreaseto decrease the max amount of hearts
