Lifesteal: Graves & Glory

Bit by Block – Lifesteal: Graves & Glory v1.0.0 Release Date: June 29, 2025 Type: Core Feature Release Server: Vallure.minehut.gg Core Mechanics Lifesteal on Kill Steal 1 from enemy players when you kill them. Maximum hearts can exceed 20, creating ultra-tank PvPers. PvP is the only trigger for heart stealing (by default). No Heart Loss from Natural Deaths Players do not lose hearts from fall damage, lava, fire, drowning, mobs, or other non-player causes. This creates a fair balance for survival-based players and builders. Grave System (Banishment Mode) At 0 hearts, a player is automatically banished to the Graveyard Realm — a custom world filled with dangerous trials. Banished players cannot return to the Overworld until revived or redeemed. PvP death becomes more intense with long-term consequences. Heart Cap Growth Players can exceed 20 hearts through custom rituals, quests, or artifact infusion. Future versions may allow per-player max heart limits and milestone unlocks. Artifact System Blood Mirror Reflects 50% of stolen hearts back to the attacker. Useful in duels or defending against gankers. Vampire Fang 25% chance to steal 2 hearts instead of 1. Risk-reward gear for aggressive players. Golden Sigil One-time protection from becoming banished. Recharges every 7 real-world days. Artifacts are rare and earned from future loot tables, dungeon drops, or seasonal events.
