Turn player heads into powerful health-swapping artifacts!
HeartSwap adds a unique PvP mechanic to your server - right-click a player's head to instantly swap your current health with theirs. Perfect for adding strategic depth and unexpected twists to combat!

- 🔒 Smart Validation - Only works when target is online, prevents self-swapping
- 💬 Player Notifications - Both players get notified when a swap occurs
- 🪦 HeadDrop Integration - Works seamlessly with the HeadDrop plugin for head drops on death
🎮 How It Works
- Obtain a player's head (via HeadDrop or other means)

- Your health instantly swaps with the head owner's current health
- Both players receive chat notifications
📋 Requirements
- Minecraft 1.21.x server
- Java 21+
- Optional: HeadDrop plugin for automatic head drops
⚙️ Permissions
No permissions needed - all players can use this feature by default!
🎯 Use Case: Bliss SMP Style
Combine HeartSwap with HeadDrop and a Lifesteal plugin to create the Bliss SMP gamemode:
How it works:
- Lifesteal Plugin - Players gain hearts when killing others and lose hearts when dying
- HeadDrop - Dead players drop their heads
- HeartSwap - Use dropped heads strategically to swap health with other players
This creates dynamic PvP where heads become valuable strategic resources, just like in Bliss SMP!
Recommended Setup:
- Lifesteal plugin (for heart gaining/losing mechanic)
- HeadDrop (for automatic head drops)
- HeartSwap (for health swapping)
