zLifeSteal v2.4.2 Update
This update introduces two new placeholders to expand customization options for server owners and developers.
Added Placeholders
- %lifesteal_hearts% – Displays the player’s current heart count
- %lifesteal_revives% – Displays the player’s total revive count
These placeholders can be used across supported plugins, scoreboards, menus, and other placeholder-supported systems.
No additional configuration changes are required.
ZLifeSteal v2.4.1 – Permission Update
With the release of v2.4.1, the /ls stats command now has a dedicated permission node.
Server owners can now control access to this command through permission managers such as LuckPerms if they wish to restrict or disable it for certain groups.
New Permission:
Code:lifesteal.stats
If this permission is not granted, players will not be able to use the /ls stats command.
This change provides greater flexibility for servers that want to customize feature access based on ranks or roles.
zLifesteal – Update v2.4.0
This release improves stability, fixes edge-case issues, and introduces new customization options for server owners.
