TotemConfusion - Advanced Totem Progression System

TotemConfusion is a Spigot plugin that reworks the vanilla Totem of Undying into a permanent health progression system with real consequences on death.
Players can increase their MAX health by right-clicking a Totem, but every death will reduce that bonus.
When all bonus health is lost, the player is temporarily removed from survival gameplay.
Perfect for Hardcore SMP, Survival Progression, PvP, and servers that want to nerf vanilla totems properly.

Features

Permanent Max Health Upgrade
Right-click Totem of Undying to increase MAX health
Health increase per use is configurable
Maximum health cap configurable
Totem cannot be used if max health cap is reached
Custom message when max health is already reached
Death Penalty System
On player death, MAX health is reduced based on previous totem bonuses
If MAX health reaches 0:
Player is switched to SPECTATOR mode
For 10 minutes (configurable)
Automatically returns to SURVIVAL mode after the timer ends
This creates a true risk & reward system for using totems.
