💓 Player Heartbeat: Feel the Pressure
Turn your Minecraft server into a high-stakes thriller. Player Heartbeat adds an immersive, frenetic proximity system that alerts you when other players are nearby.
Perfect for PvP servers, UHC, Battle Royales, or just adding a layer of paranoia to your SMP.
👁️ How it works
Forget about x-ray or boring nametags. Trust your senses. When a player enters your radius, a heart icon appears on your screen (above the hotbar). As they get closer, the heart beats faster and changes color, accompanied by an intensifying heartbeat sound.
📡 The Radar System
The detection radius is calibrated for balanced PvP encounters:
- 💛 Yellow (Warning): 46 - 70 blocks. Someone is lurking in the distance.
- 🧡 Orange (Danger): 21 - 45 blocks. They are getting closer.
- ❤️ Red (CRITICAL): 0 - 20 blocks. PREPARE TO FIGHT!
⚙️ Smart Features
- 🎚️ Integrated Volume Control: Is the heartbeat too intense? You don't need to lower your master volume. We've added a custom "Heartbeat" slider directly inside Minecraft's Music & Sounds options menu. Adjust it to your liking!
- Fair Play Logic: The system only works for players in Survival or Adventure mode.
- Anti-Cheat/Admin Friendly: Players in Creative or Spectator modes are completely invisible to the radar. They won't trigger the heartbeat, and they won't see the heartbeat interface.
- Admin Controls: Need to pause the chaos? Use commands to toggle the system globally.
/heartbeat enable- Activates the system./heartbeat disable- Deactivates it instantly for everyone (Useful for lobbies or pre-game grace periods).
🎥 Demonstration
(Note: In this demo, a Creeper is used as a reference for the detection system, but in-game it works specifically for players).
It may seem a lot of blocks, but trust me, it's perfectly balanced for players!
