Project Description
LastLife Plugin is a comprehensive Minecraft survival game mode that introduces a life-based elimination system. Players start with a random number of lives (1-10) and must survive while managing their precious life count. When players run out of lives, they're eliminated and become spectators, creating intense survival gameplay with permanent consequences.
