DatapacksJava
Revive Books
A data pack that limit players to 6 lives and adds chests with revive books in them to gain more lives or revive a player
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
This is a datapack that add/changes:
- You have a limited amount of lives. You start with 6.
- When you run out of lives you get death banned.
- You can gain more lives by consuming a revive book.
- You can find revive books in chests that is spawned by a server admin.
- You can revive death banned players by giving the book to an admin. (I havent figured out how to make this with commands yet xd)
FOR THIS DATAPACK TO PROPERLY WORK YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE FUNCTION PERMISION LEVEL TO 4 IN YOUR SERVERS PROPERTIES
Admin commands:
- /pardon (this is a vanilla command to unban players when they are to be revived)
these 2 must be executed after each other.
- /function revive:spawnchests {count:}
- /function revive:spreadchests {radius:}
- /function revive:setlives {target:"",lives:}
- /function revive:givebook {target:"",count:}
Other info:
- I originally made this datapack for use om my friend's server but I wanted to update it and make it public for others to use.
