DeathLimiter

by natzproz · on Modrinth

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.4–26.2 · Bukkit⬇ Download for 1.21.5–26.2 · Paper⬇ Download for 1.21.5–26.2 · Spigot⬇ Download for 1.21.5–1.21.10 · Purpur
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

DeathLimiter: The Ultimate Hardcore Experience Manager

DeathLimiter adds a challenging new dimension to your server by implementing a configurable death limit system. When players reach their allotted number of lives, they're automatically banned from the server, raising the stakes and encouraging more careful gameplay.

Key Features

Configurable Death Limit: Set exactly how many deaths players are allowed before facing a ban.

Admin Control: Server staff can easily reset player death counts and unban them with a simple command: /undeath .

Player Notifications: Players receive clear notifications about their remaining lives when joining the server and after each death.

Customizable Messages: All notifications and ban messages can be fully customized in the config file.

Ban Broadcasting: Optionally announce when players exceed their death limit, adding drama and tension to your server.

Permission System: Exempt specific players or groups from the death limit with the deathlimiter.exempt permission.

Persistent Tracking: Player death counts are saved even through server restarts.

Why Choose This Plugin?

This lightweight yet powerful plugin is perfect for servers looking to add consequences to death without implementing full hardcore mode. It's ideal for:

Survival servers wanting to increase the challenge

SMP servers seeking to add tension and value to life

Challenge servers with custom gameplay rules

Communities wanting to encourage more careful and strategic gameplay

The simple design ensures minimal server impact while providing a feature that fundamentally changes how players approach your server. Players will value their lives more, take fewer unnecessary risks, and experience genuine tension during dangerous activities. ** Getting Started** Installation is straightforward - just drop the plugin into your plugins folder and restart your server. The default configuration sets a 3-death limit, but this and all other settings can be adjusted in the config.yml file.

Examples: A lifesteal server, but the plugin does not do anything to stop people from getting killed a crap ton of times to potentially dupe stuff. This is where the deathlimiter may come in: The person does get banned and if its wrong, admin can just unban him.

For servers seeking to create a more challenging environment without the permanent loss of a traditional hardcore server, this plugin offers the perfect balance between consequences and second chances.
