DefaultHP [1.21.x - 26.x]

DefaultHP
A Simple Solution for Custom Health Management

DefaultHP offers server administrators precise control over player health, creating a consistent and balanced gameplay experience for all. By setting a default maximum health value (like 9 hearts instead of 10), you can subtly increase the challenge level across your entire server.

Key Features

• Custom Default Health: Set any default health value for your players (measured in half-hearts)
• Persistent Health Management: Maintains custom health values across logins and respawns
• Full Configurability: Customize every aspect through an easy-to-edit config file
• Seamless Integration: Works alongside other health-modifying plugins
• Player Notifications: Optional customizable messages when health values are applied
• Permission-Based Controls: Secure admin commands with permission nodes
• Lightweight Performance: Minimal resource usage with efficient code

Why Choose This Plugin?
Unlike complex health management systems that require extensive setup, this plugin follows a "set it and forget it" approach. It solves the specific problem of standardizing player health across your server with minimal configuration.

Many servers benefit from slightly reducing default health to create a more challenging environment without drastically changing gameplay mechanics. A 9-heart default strikes the perfect balance - challenging enough to make combat more strategic, but not so punishing that players become frustrated.

Perfect For...

• Survival servers seeking a subtle difficulty increase
• PvP servers wanting more strategic combat encounters
• RPG servers creating custom character classes with varied health pools
• Hardcore-lite servers that want increased challenge without permanent death
• Any server looking to standardize player health attributes

Simple Commands

• /defaulthp - View current health settings
• /defaulthp reload - Reload configuration settings

Easy Configuration
The plugin ships with a clear, well-documented configuration file allowing you to:

• Set precise health values (in half-hearts)
• Enable/disable health modification on respawn
• Customize notification messages
• Control healing behavior when players join

This lightweight solution handles one aspect of gameplay perfectly rather than trying to be everything to everyone. The focused approach ensures compatibility with your existing plugin ecosystem while delivering exactly what you need - reliable health management with zero hassle.

Compatible with Spigot, Paper, and Bukkit servers running Minecraft 1.21 and above.
