OGDeathSwap
OGDeathSwap is a lightweight, high-performance DeathSwap plugin built for modern Minecraft servers. Inspired by popular content creators, this plugin allows you to easily host intense, automated DeathSwap matches with your friends or community with zero hassle.
Every few minutes, players are randomly swapped into each other's positions—your only goal is to set deadly traps right before the swap occurs and be the last player standing.

🚀 Features
- Modern Version Support: Built from the ground up to natively support Minecraft 1.21 and above.
- Flexible Team Dynamics: Supports standard 1v1 play as well as asymmetric challenges like 1v2 or custom group setups.
- Fully Configurable Timers: Easily alter the game pace by changing the swap intervals directly in the configuration.
- Lightweight & Optimized: Runs efficiently on modern server software without causing performance drops during teleports.
