Here’s a polished mod overview for your CurseForge listing:
DeathBan is a lightweight but powerful mod that introduces high-stakes gameplay by banning players upon death for a configurable duration. Perfect for survival servers that want to increase tension, immersion, and consequences — or run seasonal hardcore events.
Automatic Ban on Death
When a player dies, they are automatically banned for a configurable number of real-world days (default: 7 days).
Configurable Lives System
Players are given a limited number of lives (default: 1). Each death removes one life. On final death, the ban is triggered.
Automatic Unban System
Once the ban duration expires, the mod automatically unbans the player and restores their lives to the original config value.
/lives Command
Players can check how many lives they have left with the /lives command.
Persistent Data
Player lives and ban expiry are saved to disk. All data survives server restarts and world reloads.
No External Dependencies
All logic is handled within the mod — no database or plugin required.
Located in config/deathban-common.toml:
# Days a player is banned after final death
banDays = 7
# How many lives each player starts with
startingLives = 1
You can change these values before or during runtime, and the mod will respect them accordingly.
