Description
PermaDeath
PermaDeath is the NeoForged 1.21.x update of the DeathBan mod which is not maintained anymore.
It's a server-side mod for Minecraft, meant to create a hardcore-like experience to survival servers by adding a configurable ban duration upon player death.
The mod only needs to be added to the NeoForged server, so pure vanilla clients can also join a NeoForged server with PermaDeath installed (given the server only has server-only mods).
If you want this mod to be updated on next minecraft release, please consider to donate !
Configuration
You can change the death duration in config/permadeath-server.toml. Note that the server does not need to be restarted for the changes to go through, but previous bans will not have their duration changed.
#The week duration of the death Weeks = 0 #The day duration of the death Days = 0 #The hour duration of the death Hours = 0 #The minute duration of the death Minutes = 0Screenshots
