LifeSteal SMP Mechanics: Hearts, Shards & Resurrection

Master the high-stakes LifeSteal world: gain extra hearts on player kills, craft heart shards, and build an immortal health bar.

LifeSteal SMP: Steal Hearts & Ascend

In the LifeSteal realm (/warp lifesteal), health is currency and combat has real permanent rewards. Eliminate your rivals to steal their maximum hearts!

🛡️ KeepInventory Active in LifeSteal

Even in LifeSteal, keepInventory is enabled! When you die, your armor and items remain safely in your inventory—only your heart count is affected upon player kills. No gear wipes!

Core LifeSteal Rules:

  • Slay a Player: When you kill another player in PvP, you steal +1 Maximum Heart (+2 Max HP) permanently, expanding your total health bar!
  • Death to a Player: When killed by another player, you lose 1 Maximum Heart.
  • Environmental Deaths: Dying to mobs, fall damage, or lava does NOT deduct hearts.
  • Heart Cap: Players can expand their health bar up to a maximum of 20 Hearts (40 HP).

Crafting Extra Hearts

Prefer building and mining rather than hunting? You can forge custom Heart Items using rare Netherite scraps, Totems of Undying, and Diamond blocks. Consume a forged heart to increase your max health!
