# \u2694\ufe0f StrengthSMP<\/p>\n
**StrengthSMP** is a competitive Minecraft Paper plugin inspired by the Strength SMP concept.
\nPlayers gain permanent **Strength buffs** for every player kill \u2014 but every death costs them a **life**.
\nWhen a player loses all lives, they **lose all buffs** or can even be **banned or moved to spectator mode**, depending on server configuration.<\/p>\n

## \ud83c\udf1f Features<\/p>\n
– \ud83d\udca5 **Strength from kills:** Each kill increases the player\u2019s Strength level.
\n– \u2764\ufe0f **Lives system:** Every player starts with a set number of lives.
\n– \u2620\ufe0f **Death consequences:** Losing all lives removes buffs or bans the player.
\n– \u2699\ufe0f **Configurable behavior:**
\n – Default number of lives
\n – Max Strength amplifier
\n – Choose whether to ban or set players to spectator on zero lives
\n– \ud83d\udd12 **Persistent data:** Player stats are saved automatically using Bukkit\u2019s `PersistentDataContainer`.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## \ud83e\udde0 How It Works<\/p>\n
– Each time a player kills another, their **kill count increases**, and they receive a **Strength potion effect**.
\n– The Strength level is capped based on the configuration file.
\n– When a player dies, their **lives** decrease by one.
\n– Reaching 0 lives will:
\n – Remove all buffs
\n – Optionally switch to Spectator Mode or ban the player<\/p>\n

## \u2699\ufe0f Configuration<\/p>\n
The plugin generates a `config.yml` file on first launch.
\nHere\u2019s an example configuration:<\/p>\n
“`yaml
\n# Default number of lives for new players
\ndefault-lives: 3<\/p>\n
# Maximum Strength level a player can reach
\nmax-strength-amplifier: 3<\/p>\n
# Whether players should be banned when they run out of lives
\nban-on-zero-lives: false<\/p>\n
# Whether to switch players to spectator mode instead of banning
\nspectator-on-zero-lives: true<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
