Double Life

Introduction

If you don't feel like reading, watch the beginning of this video.

Double Life adds an interesting twist to the classic Minecraft hardcore mode. This gameplay format is designed for 10 or more players on a 700x700 block map with established world borders. It's recommended to conduct gaming sessions lasting about 3 hours so all players can be online simultaneously.

Soulmate Mechanics

At the start of a season, each player is assigned a random "soulmate." Participants must independently discover who their partner is, as the plugin doesn't reveal this information. Throughout the season, players' health and number of lives will be linked to their partner. Everyone starts with three lives: green name means three lives, yellow means two, red means one. Only players with red names gain the right to attack other participants.

Special Recipes

Since resources in the limited territory are quite scarce, the mod adds special crafting recipes that significantly simplify survival. Each of these recipes can be individually disabled in the configuration file.

Server Setup

Before connecting to the server, you need to configure the plugin through the config.yml file. After making changes, server restart isn't required - just execute the command /dl reload.

After finding a suitable world seed, go to the point that should become the center of the map and execute the command /dl setup. This will set the world borders, define the respawn point, and apply game rules according to the config.yml settings.

After server setup, you can start the game! Gather your friends and execute the command /dl randomizepairs to begin. To evenly distribute players across the map, use the command /dl distributeplayers.
