Death Penalty: Every time you die, you lose permanent Max Health (Default: 1 Heart).
Zero Hearts = "Ban": If your health reaches zero, you aren't deleted. Instead, you are forced into Spectator Mode.
The Timer: You must wait out a revival timer (Default: 5 hours) before you respawn as a survivor again.
Recovery: Regret your mistakes? Eating an Enchanted Golden Apple restores 1 lost heart (up to the max of 10 hearts).
