Limited Lives is a Java plugin for Paper, Purpur, and Spigot that adds a clear survival rule: every player receives a configurable number of lives, and each death consumes one. Administrators can adjust default, minimum, and maximum values, define death causes, and display remaining lives with placeholders.
When a player reaches zero, the configured punishment can apply, such as spectator mode or commands executed at death or respawn. This creates real tension without forcing a complete hardcore experience, making exploration, combat, and cooperation more meaningful. We recommend Limited Lives for any Minecraft server seeking a flexible challenge system, with BoxToPlay providing a convenient server experience.
