Simple Deathban

# ☠️ DeathBan DeathBan is a lightweight Minecraft plugin that **automatically bans players when they die** — perfect for hardcore events, UHC sessions, or any server where death should actually mean something. --- ## 🔥 What does it do? When a player dies, they are **automatically kicked and banned Permament**. While banned, they see a clear message on the login screen telling them they died and must wait until an Admin unbans all Players. --- ## ✨ Features - **Automatic death bans** — Players are kicked after dying, then blocked from rejoining - **Custom ban screen** — Banned players see a clear message explaining why they can't connect - **Whitelist system** — Protect specific players (like admins or event staff) from ever getting banned on death - **Manual unban** — Instantly unban a specific player with one command - **Unban everyone at once** — Reset the entire event with a single `/deathban unbanall` — great for starting a new round - **Toggle on/off** — Enable or disable the whole system at any time without restarting the server - **Persistent bans** — Bans survive server restarts. --- ## 🛠️ Commands | Command | What it does | |---|---| | `/deathban toggle` | Turn the death ban system on or off | | `/deathban whitelist add <player>` | Protect a player from death bans | | `/deathban whitelist remove <player>` | Remove a player from the whitelist | | `/deathban unban <player>` | Manually unban one specific player | | `/deathban unbanall` | Instantly unban **all** currently banned players | > All commands support **tab completion**, including auto-suggesting currently banned players for `/unban`. --- ## 🔒 Permissions | Permission | Who needs it | |---|---| | `deathban.admin` | Required to use any `/deathban` command | --- ## 🛠️ Installation 1. Download `Deathban-1.0..jar` 2. Place it in your `plugins/` folder 3. **Start the server** ## ⚙️ Configuration The plugin generates a simple `config.yml` on first launch. It stores the on/off state, the whitelist, and all active bans. You don't need to edit it manually — everything can be managed in-game. --- ## 💡 Perfect for... - **Hardcore events** — Run a weekend event where death means elimination - **UHC servers** — Add real stakes to every encounter - **SMP seasons** — Give your season a hardcore twist without switching game modes - **Tournaments** — Automatically eliminate players who die, then reset the whole field for the next round with `unbanall` --- ## 📋 Requirements - Minecraft **1.21+** - A **Bukkit / Spigot / Paper** server --- ## 📝 Notes - The whitelist is **UUID-based**, so players can't bypass it by changing their username - No external dependencies — drop the `.jar` in and you're done
