Hardcore Lives
HardcoreLives is a straightforward plugin that adds a limited lives system to your Minecraft server. It’s built for SMPs or hardcore servers where you want death to have real consequences, but don't want to permanently ban your players.
When a player hits 0 lives, they get temp-banned for a set amount of time. To keep things balanced, players can use a specific item to add a life back to their account.
