Lifespan is a mod that aim to add realistic aging to minecraft making each one of your lifes unique
Lifespan
A lifespan for every player. You age while you play. Youth, Prime, Experienced , Ancestor then the end... Unless you beat death himself and become immortal...
Features
- Personal lifespan (default 120 Minecraft days, configurable)
- Aging only while online
- HUD with remaining days, colored by how far you’ve lived
- Optional HUD suffix: Lifespan: 40 days · Prime (and (Immortal) in cyan)
- Toggle the HUD with a keybind (Minecraft controls)
- Phase kits: buffs and debuffs that change as you age (inventory icons, no particles)
- Admin commands (OP only)
- One death message: has died of old age (dark gray, italic)
Phases (default % of life lived)
| Phase | Range | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Youth (green) | 0–25% | Early life |
| Prime (yellow) | 25–50% | Physical peak |
| Experienced (orange) | 50–75% | Know-how |
| Ancestor (red) | 75–95% | Elder |
| Dying (black) | 95–100% | The end / Legend |
Thresholds and effect levels are all in the config.
Phase kits (2.0)
Youth — Speed · regen out of combat · full armor = slight slowness
Prime — Strength · Jump Boost
Experienced — Haste · bonus XP · know-how (tools + armor last longer) · knockback resistance · food is less filling · rare crises
Ancestor — Hero of the Village · bonus XP · beneficial effects last longer · immunity to harmful effects · Second wind · slowness + mining fatigue
Dying — Legend (reflect damage under 4 hearts + Wither on the killer) · heavier fatigue / slowness / weakness · crises in the last days
(Compound V/optionnal) V1 immortality freezes the phase you had when you became immortal. Nullify does not strip age kits.

Permission level 2 (ops).

Compatibility: Compound V (optional)
Lifespan works fully without Compound V. If it is installed:
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Drink V1 | Immortal (HUD ∞ + Immortal). Days and phase are saved. |
| Drink Anti-V | Powers stripped → aging resumes exactly where it stopped. |
| Chest blast | Same as Anti-V if powers are stripped. |
| Nullify zone | Temporary: you age again from saved days. Leave the zone → immortality returns. |
No hard dependency.
Notes
- Time only counts while the player is online
- Sleeping advances online time proportionally (not a full day per skip)
- Creative and spectator: timer frozen, no phase kits
- modEnabled in the config can turn the whole mod off
- On death and respawn, lifespan resets to the config default
- Made for survival, SMP, and semi-realist RP
