Here’s a polished mod overview for your CurseForge listing:
🪦 DeathBan — A Hardcore Ban System for Minecraft (Forge 1.19.2)
DeathBan is a lightweight but powerful mod that introduces high-stakes gameplay by banning players upon death for a configurable duration. Perfect for survival servers that want to increase tension, immersion, and consequences — or run seasonal hardcore events.
🔥 Features
-
Automatic Ban on Death
When a player dies, they are automatically banned for a configurable number of real-world days (default: 7 days). -
Configurable Lives System
Players are given a limited number of lives (default: 1). Each death removes one life. On final death, the ban is triggered. -
Automatic Unban System
Once the ban duration expires, the mod automatically unbans the player and restores their lives to the original config value. -
/lives Command
Players can check how many lives they have left with the/livescommand. -
Persistent Data
Player lives and ban expiry are saved to disk. All data survives server restarts and world reloads. -
No External Dependencies
All logic is handled within the mod — no database or plugin required.
⚙️ Configuration
Located in config/deathban-common.toml:
# Days a player is banned after final death
banDays = 7
# How many lives each player starts with
startingLives = 1
You can change these values before or during runtime, and the mod will respect them accordingly.
