Nyxheads

NyxHeads is a Paper plugin that lets players steal lives by collecting the heads of players they kill, with banned players only able to return when their head is placed to revive them.

💀 NyxHeads

A hardcore-style revival system for Paper servers where player lives are tied directly to their heads.

⚔️ Features

🗡️ Player Kill System

Only player-versus-player kills count.

If a player is killed by another player:

  • 💀 The victim's player head drops.

  • 🔨 The victim is instantly banned.

  • 🎒 The killer can collect and carry the head.

The following do NOT trigger the system:

  • Fall damage

  • Lava

  • TNT

  • Creepers

  • Mobs

  • Environmental damage

  • Commands

❤️ Revival System

Every dropped head is linked to the player who died.

When a revival head is placed:

  • ✨ The head is consumed.

  • 🔓 The banned player is automatically unbanned.

  • ⚡ The player is revived instantly.
