Badges update automatically and link to the mod page on MineUniverse.
Put a price on another player's head, nail up their Wanted Poster, and let the whole server hunt them.
Dead or Alive adds player bounties to any SMP or PvP server. Someone burned your base? Walk up to a Bounty Board, pay to put a reward on their head, and the server hears about it. Every hunter can see the price, print a Wanted Poster with the target's face and last known whereabouts, and collect the moment they take the target down. Bounties from different players stack, so the most hated player on the server is also the most valuable.
Nothing is created from thin air. Every reward is real money taken from the players who posted it and held in escrow until someone collects it or it expires and goes back to them.
The first thing any server does with a bounty mod is try to cash in on their friends. These checks refuse the payout and tell the hunter why:
| Check | What it stops |
|---|---|
| Same vanilla scoreboard team | Teammates collecting on each other |
| Same FTB Teams party | Party members collecting on each other (when FTB Teams is installed) |
| Same or allied Open Parties and Claims party | Party and ally farming (when OPAC is installed) |
| Same IP address | Most alt accounts |
| Linked accounts list in the config | Known alts and shared connections |
| No self posting, no self claims | Putting a bounty on yourself and dying to a friend |
| Minimum bounty, posting fee, cooldown | Spam and laundering money through fake bounties |
| Expiry with refund | Old grudges sitting on the board forever (72 hours by default, each poster's share on its own clock) |
| Backend | How it works |
|---|---|
| Currency items (default) | Emeralds and emerald blocks out of the box, or any items you list with their values. Change is handed back automatically. |
| Lightman's Currency | Used automatically when it is installed: bounties come straight out of the wallet, and refunds to offline players go into their bank. Force either backend in the config. |
Money owed to a player who was offline (a refund, a payout) waits for them and arrives on their next login, or with /bounty collect.

Mod ID warbornbounties on both.
These mods are free and they stay free. If one of them runs on your server, you can back the next version, the next port, and the next mod at patreon.com/epicwarborn. Patrons get their name in the credits, a direct line to me for bugs, early builds, and a vote on what gets built next.
Name your price. Nail up the poster. Wait for the hunt.
