LifeWapon Plugin

Overview

LifeWapon is a competitive Lifesteal PvP plugin that turns Minecraft into a high-stakes battle for survival. Kill other players to steal their hearts and grow stronger, but be careful—if you lose all your hearts, you're banned from the server (duration configurable).

Features

  • Heart System: Start with 10 hearts, max out at 20, or hit 0 and get banned forever
  • Lifesteal Combat: Killing a player steals one of their max hearts for yourself
  • Heart Cores: Withdraw hearts as items and trade them, or use them later to restore max health
  • Special Weapons: Four unique admin-only items with powerful abilities
  • Cooldown Display: See your ability cooldowns in the action bar

How to Use

Player Commands

  • /balance - Check how many hearts you currently have
  • /withdrawheart - Turn 1 max heart into a Heart Core item (must have at least 2 hearts)

Admin Commands

  • /hearts give <player> <amount> - Add or remove hearts from a player
  • /customitem give <player> <item> - Give special weapons (freeze_sword, dash_sword, dash_mace, grappling_hook)

Special Weapons

Right-click to use abilities:

  • Freeze Sword (Diamond) - Slows enemies on hit, but deals 10% less damage
  • Dash Sword (Iron) - Quick forward dash; miss and get Weakness
  • Dash Mace - Leap forward with knockback; miss and get Slowness
  • Grappling Hook - Pull yourself to blocks/entities up to 15 blocks away

Heart Cores

Right-click a Heart Core (default: Amethyst Shard) to restore +1 max heart. These are great for trading or saving hearts for emergencies!

Configuration

Open config.yml to adjust:

  • heart-cores.material (default: AMETHYST_SHARD)
  • bans.out-of-hearts.duration (default: permanent). For temporary bans use ISO-8601 duration like PT24H for 24 hours.

Tips & Tricks

  • Don't fight when you're low on hearts—one death could mean a permanent ban!
  • Withdraw hearts before risky fights so you don't lose everything
  • Use the Dash Sword for escaping or repositioning, not just attacking
  • The Freeze Sword is perfect for controlling fast opponents
  • Check your cooldowns in the action bar before engaging

Known Limitations

  • Custom items cannot be crafted and must be given by admins
