Lifetaker
Hardcore for the weak of heart
Lifetaker is a simple mod that allows players on a psuedo-hardcore server to start with a finite amount of lives. This plugin encourages PVP because the only way to earn more lives is by killing your fellow players. When you die you are notified about your remaining life count, and if you die via PVP, your are informed when another player has taken one of your lives. When a player loses their final life they are banned from the server.
Current Features
Let's pretend Vince and Matt are playing on a server with Lifetaker- Decrement Lives - When Vince dies, his lives are decremented. If this is the first time he's died while Lifetaker was enabled, an entry will be created in lives.yml to indicate he has 1 less than the initial starting number of lives, as defined in the config.yml
- Increment lives - When a Matt sneaks up on, and kills Vince, Matt's total number of remaining lives is incremented. Similar to the first scenario, if this is the first time Matt has been examined by Lifetaker, his lives will now be set to one more than the initial starting life count. And once again, Vince's lives will be decremented.
- Notification - On each of the events listed above, the players involved will be notified.
- Logging - The above incidents will be logged to console.
- Banning - When Vince inevitably runs out of lives, he will be kicked and banned from the server.
- Notification - Whenever a life is lost or exchanged, or when a player joins the server, they are told how many lives they have left.
- Join - Players are notified of their remaining life count when they join the server.
Future plans
- Commands - Allow players with the proper permission to add lives back to players, and check lives of other players.
- Permissions - Permission to add lives back to players, and check lives of other players.
- Jail instead of Ban - Maybe you want to go easy on those dead kids.
