A simple datapack that adds a configurable amount of lives for players

Probably works for other versions besides 26.3 but i havent checked sorry

Features and guide:

- Colors

Depending on how many lives a player has, the color of their name changes above their head and on the tab list, the tab list also displays the exact number of lives that a player has

  • Red: 1 life

  • Yellow: 2 lives

  • Light green: 3 or 4 lives

  • Dark green: 5 or more lives

    a player with 1 life left

- Death

If a player on their final life dies, lightning strikes at their location and they are put into spectator mode

- Configuration

By default everyone starts with 5 lives, this can be configured with the following command:

/scoreboard players set #default lives X

(replace X with the desired amount of lives)

To reset everyone to the default amount of lives that you have set, use this command:

/function lucimaw:restartlives

(you should use this after changing the default, in order to update everyones life count)

(warning: this command only works on players currently in the game and will teleport any dead/spectator players to the person running the command, and obviously revive them)

- Adding or removing lives from players

You can add lives to a player with this command:

/scoreboard players add NAME lives X

(replace NAME with target players username, and replace X with the desired lives to add)

You can remove lives from a player with this command:

/scoreboard players remove NAME lives X

(replace NAME with target players username, and replace X with the desired lives to remove)
