📋 About This Mod
**This datapack introduces a new survival mechanic:** - Your maximum health gradually decreases based on total playtime. - When a player dies, they are placed into a rotation queue, allowing others to take their place. - Only a limited number of players can be "alive". **Why?** - It is mainly made to reduce the "2-week Minecraft cycle" that you have likely experienced when playing with friends by reducing burnout. - The reducing HP is used to even out the scales a little between players of different skill levels and to encourage queue rotation so that people aren't left out. - And it is a new twist for a semi-hardcore playstyle that works dynamically on servers. ⚠️**Important Information:** - In server.properties you need to give the functions permission level 3 in order for the queue to be functional. - Built compatible with Minecraft 1.20+, but I have only tested it on 1.21.5. - Players who die will be rotated out and must wait for another to die before returning. - Configurable values (health decay rate, queue size, etc.) are tweakable in the datapack files if you know what you are doing, but the default is half a heart max hp loss per Minecraft day and a 3-person queue size. P.S. Also one Easter egg if you find it :P don't read the files if you want to make it a surprise >:)
This datapack introduces a new survival mechanic:
- Your maximum health gradually decreases based on total playtime.
- When a player dies, they are placed into a rotation queue, allowing others to take their place.
- Only a limited number of players can be "alive".
Why?
- It is mainly made to reduce the "2-week Minecraft cycle" that you have likely experienced when playing with friends by reducing burnout.
- The reducing HP is used to even out the scales a little between players of different skill levels and to encourage queue rotation so that people aren't left out.
- And it is a new twist for a semi-hardcore playstyle that works dynamically on servers.
- In server.properties you need to give the functions permission level 3 in order for the queue to be functional.
- Built compatible with Minecraft 1. 20+, but I have only tested it on 1. 21. 5.
- Players who die will be rotated out and must wait for another to die before returning.
- Configurable values (health decay rate, queue size, etc.) are tweakable in the datapack files if you know what you are doing, but the default is half a heart max hp loss per Minecraft day and a 3-person queue size.
P. S. Also one Easter egg if you find it :P don't read the files if you want to make it a surprise >:)
