PermanentHearts
PermanentHearts is a Paper plugin that adds a persistent death penalty system to your server. Each time a player dies, they permanently lose 1 heart from their maximum health. Their reduced max health is saved automatically and remains after relogging and server restarts.
The plugin can also reward PvP kills by giving the killer 1 heart back, making combat feel more meaningful while still keeping death punishing. A minimum health limit is enforced so players can never drop below 1 heart.
Features
- Lose 1 heart on every death - Reduces true max health, not just current health - Health loss is saved automatically - Works across relogging and server restarts - Minimum health floor of 1 heart - Optional PvP reward: killers regain 1 heart - Simple configuration - Admin commands for adding, setting, and checking hearts
