SnowSteal

SnowSteal is a Paper 1.21.1 lifesteal/soul plugin where every player starts with 3 lives. Kill to steal, die to lose. Reach 0 lives and you are banished to spectator mode — your only hope is a friend sacrificing their lives or placing your banished skull to resurrect you.

Core Mechanics

Lives System. Each player has a configurable number of lives (default 3), stored persistently in their player data. Lives are displayed in a real-time action bar with star icons. Killing another player grants you +1 life (up to the max). Dying costs you 1 life.

Banishment. When you reach 0 lives, you are set to spectator mode and anchored to your death location (ghost radius). A special player head drops at your death site bearing your name, which any other player can place to revive you.

Sacrifice. Players with 3 or more lives can sacrifice themselves to revive a banished player. The sacrifice costs 3 lives and restores the target to 1 life in survival mode.

Combat Logging. Entering PvP starts a 15-second combat timer. If you log out during combat, you take lethal damage and lose a life. The timer is displayed in the action bar.

Soul Fragments. When a player at max lives kills someone, instead of gaining a life they receive a Soul Fragment item (Nether Star). Soul Fragments are a physical token that can be traded, stored, or used as a currency.

Resurrection Heads

When a player is banished (0 lives), they drop a BANISHED SOUL player head. Anyone can pick it up and place it as a block to instantly revive the banished player. The head is consumed on use and the target is restored to 1 life in survival mode with a totem particle effect.

Visual Effects

  • Action bar: Real-time lives display with configurable filled/empty star icons
  • Idle particles: Snowflake particles float around players with lives remaining
  • Death: Wither sound + flame particles
  • Revive: Totem particles + level-up sound
  • Sacrifice: Beacon deactivate sound + soul particles
  • Ghost boundary: Banished players are confined to a configurable radius around their death point with a warning sound when they hit the boundary
