Please read the concept of this plugin

Concept :

• 1. Player A and Player B gets default 3 lives and 10 Hearts
• 2. Player A killed Player B, then Player B will lose 1 live (remaining = 2) and in exchange of the live, player B will get +5 Hearts (total = 15).
• 3. If Player A again killed Player B, then Player B will lose 1 live (remaining = 1) and in exchange of the live player B will get +5 Hearts (total = 20)
• 4. After this if Player B killed Player A, then Player B will gain 1 live and -5 Hearts.

• NOTE : The maximum hearts obtainable are 25 and maximum lives are 3, so no one can go beyond it (untill changed from config.yml)

1. Plugin Description

ZLives is a unique Minecraft plugin that introduces a lives and heart system to your server. Players start with a limited number of lives and hearts, and their actions (such as killing other players or being killed) affect their lives and hearts. Key features include:

• Lives System: Players start with a default number of 3 lives. When a player loses all their lives, they are eliminated and put into spectator mode.
• Heart System: Players have a limited number of hearts, default is 10 (20 Heart points). Hearts determine the player’s max health.
• Revival System: Eliminated players can be revived using a special Revive Book or by an admin using the /revive command.
• Elimination Animation: When a player is eliminated, a dramatic animation and sound effect play to signify their elimination.
• Customizable Config: The plugin allows server admins to configure default lives, hearts, and other settings via the config.yml file.
• Commands:
  • /lives: Check your remaining lives and hearts.
  • /revive <player>: Revive an eliminated player (admin-only).
  • /elimination-animation: Play the elimination animation on a player or at specific coordinates (admin-only).
