Simple Deathban

Simple Plugin that will Ban you if you Die

☠️ DeathBan

DeathBan is a lightweight Minecraft plugin that automatically bans players when they die — perfect for hardcore events, UHC sessions, or any server where death should actually mean something.


🔥 What does it do?

When a player dies, they are automatically kicked and banned Permament. While banned, they see a clear message on the login screen telling them they died and must wait until an Admin unbans all Players.


✨ Features

  • Automatic death bans — Players are kicked after dying, then blocked from rejoining
  • Custom ban screen — Banned players see a clear message explaining why they can't connect
  • Whitelist system — Protect specific players (like admins or event staff) from ever getting banned on death
  • Manual unban — Instantly unban a specific player with one command
  • Unban everyone at once — Reset the entire event with a single /deathban unbanall — great for starting a new round
  • Toggle on/off — Enable or disable the whole system at any time without restarting the server
  • Persistent bans — Bans survive server restarts.
