💀 SoulLock — Death is not the end...
When a player dies, their soul is trapped inside their head. They cannot return… unless someone places it back.
Will your friends save you — or leave you behind?
🎮 What is SoulLock?
SoulLock is a Paper plugin (1.21+) that transforms Minecraft’s death system into a revival-based mechanic.
Instead of respawning normally:
- 💀 Players become soul-locked
- 🪦 Their head drops at death location
- ⚡ They can only return when someone places their head
✨ Features
💀 Soul Lock System
- Player dies → soul is locked
- Real player head drops (with skin)
- Only one active head per player
- Fully persistent (survives restarts)
👻 Locked Player Behavior
Locked players are restricted until revived:
- Cannot break or place blocks
- Cannot use items
- Cannot interact with entities
Join behavior:
- 👁️ Spectator mode (default)

⚡ Revival System
When a player head is placed:

- 📩 Message: "Your soul has been restored! ✨"
