# ð 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?

## ðŪ 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:
* ð Players become **soul-locked**
* ðŠĶ Their **head drops at death location**
* ⥠They can only return when someone places their head
---
## âĻ Features
### ð Soul Lock System
* Player dies → soul is locked
* Real **player head drops (with skin)**
* Only **one active head per player**
* Fully persistent (survives restarts)
---
### ðŧ Locked Player Behavior
Locked players are restricted until revived:
* Cannot break or place blocks
* Cannot use items
* Cannot interact with entities
**Join behavior:**
* ðïļ Spectator mode (default)
* ðŦ Kick mode (configurable)
---
### ⥠Revival System
When a player head is placed:
* ð Automatically detects the player
* ð Instantly unlocks their soul
* ðĐ Message: *"Your soul has been restored! âĻ"*
If the player is online:
* Teleported to revival location

* Spawn point updated
**Effects:**
