Living at the limit aims to imporove the experience of the already outaded hardcore mode from minecraft.
The idea is to give the player a set of lives which can be re aquired via different mechanics and recipes.
Adding to this the mod aims to be used in multiplayer, the way it does is by adding a custom reviving mechanic for already deceased players.
On default the live counter is 3, but via config it can be modified to whatever you want.
This mod adds different materials and tools aimed for getting multiple special hearts, the most importants being "Amethyst Heart" and "Imbued Netherite Heart" allowing to get one extra live and reviving already dead players respectively.
Whenever you die your soul is gonna drop being necessary later for crafting this special soul tied items.
For getting your first Special Heart you would need to start backstabbing a villager with the new "Knife" by right-clicking, after this multiple crafts await for you to achieve what you want.
