This Lifesteal plugin is now archived. I no longer have time to maintain it, so it will receive no further updates (bug fixes, new features, MC version support, etc.).
📖 What this was
Lifesteal introduced a life-steal mechanic to Minecraft PvP/SMP gameplay: when a player kills another, they gain hearts and the victim loses hearts.
Additional features included heart items (withdraw, trade, redeem), configurable max/min health, custom messages, and full config flexibility.
👉 Use another maintained plugin / fork
If you like the Lifesteal concept, I recommend switching to a plugin that is actively maintained or a community fork with ongoing support.
