Death can be extremely boring. Why not make your players become ghosts when they die? This can also be a better solution for hardcore servers, instead of them being banned for a number of hours. You can still ban them if they die too much with this plugin.
When a player dies, they either teleport to a location defined by somebody who can change the spawn or to their spawn. They're now a ghost for a predefined time. A ghost can't do much. All he or she can really do is chat to other ghosts or people that have the deathpenalty.hearghosts permission.
Ghosts can't

There aren't many permissions, but they work with PermissionsEx, PermissionsBukkit and probably other permissions plugins.
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
| deathpenalty.hearghosts | Allows or disallows the player to listen to ghosts speak when he or she is not a ghost |
| deathpenalty.changespawn | Allows or disallows the player from changing the spawn for ghosts |
| deathpenalty.ignore | Makes a player not become a ghost when they die if this is true |
| deathpenalty.resurrect | Allows a player to resurrect other players (admins do not get this by default) |
| deathpenalty.see | Allows a player to see ghosts when not a ghost; Operators get this by default |
| deathpenalty.add | Allows a player to add lives for other players |
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| ghostTime | How long a player will be a ghost for (in seconds) when they die |
| usePermissions | Whether or not to use permissions. If this is false, only admins can change the spawn and hear other ghosts. |
| cakeAmount | The amount to reduce a ghost's time when a player eats cake (they may only do this once when they're a ghost). If this value is 0, it will not heal any. |
| disablePortals | Enable or disable a ghost from using end and nether portals |
| ghostsFly | Makes players able to fly when they are in ghost form. This switches the game mode to creative, but they can not keep the items when they are made a normal player again. |
| lives | Number of lives a player has before they become a ghost again |
| maxGhostTimes | Number of times a player may become a ghost before they are banned (doesn't do anything unless banOnGhostLifeDepletion is enabled); Set this to 0 if you don't want to use the banning system. |
| banTime | How long (in seconds) a player is banned when their ghost times are depleted and banOnGhostLifeDepletion is enabled |
| permaGhost | Whether or not ghosts are permanently ghosts |
