# HardcoreLives<\/p>\n
HardcoreLives is a straightforward plugin that adds a limited lives system to your Minecraft server. It\u2019s built for SMPs or hardcore servers where you want death to have real consequences, but don’t want to permanently ban your players.<\/p>\n
When a player hits 0 lives, they get temp-banned for a set amount of time. To keep things balanced, players can use a specific item to add a life back to their account.<\/p>\n
