HealthSteal

Steal hearts from your enemies in PvP combat!

📖 Overview

HealthSteal is an exciting PvP plugin that adds a unique twist to combat - when you kill another player, you steal one of their hearts! Players start with 10 hearts (20 HP) and can gain up to 20 hearts by defeating opponents. But beware - if you lose all your hearts, you'll face the ultimate punishment!

Perfect for hardcore survival servers, UHC events, or any server looking to add high-stakes PvP mechanics!
