SoulLock
1.0Trap player souls on death and revive them by placing their head. Perfect for survival, PvP, and co-op servers.
SoulLock — Death is not the end...
When a player dies, their soul is trapped inside their head.
They cannot return… unless someone places it back.
Will your friends save you — or leave you behind?
🎮 What is SoulLock?
SoulLock is a Paper plugin (1.21+) that transforms Minecraft’s death system into a revival-based mechanic.
Instead of respawning normally:
Players become soul-locked
Their head drops at death location
They can only return when someone places their head
✨ Features

- Real player head drops (with skin)
- Only one active head per player
- Fully persistent (survives restarts)
👻 Locked Player Behavior
Locked players are restricted until revived:
- Cannot break or place blocks

⚡ Revival System
When a player head is placed:

Instantly unlocks their soul
Message: "Your soul has been restored! ✨"
