\n# Please read the concept of this plugin
\n## Concept :
\n– **1. Player A and Player B gets default 3 lives and 10 Hearts**
\n– **2. Player A killed Player B, then Player B will lose 1 live (remaining = 2) and in exchange of the live, player B will get +5 Hearts (total = 15).**
\n– **3. If Player A again killed Player B, then Player B will lose 1 live (remaining = 1) and in exchange of the live player B will get +5 Hearts (total = 20)**
\n– **4. After this if Player B killed Player A, then Player B will gain 1 live and -5 Hearts.**
\n– ### *NOTE : The maximum hearts obtainable are 25 and maximum lives are 3, so no one can go beyond it (untill changed from config.yml)*<\/p>\n

\n Players start with a default number of **3 lives**. When a player loses all their lives, they are eliminated and put into spectator mode.
\n– **Heart System**:
\n Players have a limited number of hearts, **default is 10** (20 Heart points). Hearts determine the player\u2019s max health.
\n– **Revival System**: Eliminated players can be revived using a special **Revive Book** or by an admin using the `\/revive` command.
\n– **Elimination Animation**: When a player is eliminated, a dramatic animation and sound effect play to signify their elimination.
\n– **Customizable Config**: The plugin allows server admins to configure default lives, hearts, and other settings via the `config.yml` file.
\n– **Commands**:
\n – `\/lives`: Check your remaining lives and hearts.
\n – `\/revive
\n – `\/elimination-animation`: Play the elimination animation on a player or at specific coordinates (admin-only).<\/p>\n
