The Life Series Mod
A server-side mod for Minecraft Fabric that provides an exact recreation of the famous Life Series by Grian with maximum quality-of-life improvements for players.
Mod Features
This mod supports five seasons from Grian's original project: Third Life, Last Life, Double Life, Limited Life, and Secret Life. The latest season, Wild Life, is currently in development and planned for future release.
Main Functions
Automated Systems
- Life tracking - automatic monitoring of all players' lives
- Team colors - automatic team color assignment
- Session timer - built-in time tracking system
- Boogeyman selection - automatic Boogeyman determination and tracking system
Game Management
After installing the mod on your server, you'll need to select a specific season using the command /lifeseries setSeries <series>. Instructions will appear in chat - no need to memorize all details.
Important: After selecting a season, you must restart the server.
Session System
To start a gaming session, first set its duration with /session timer set <time>. Time format examples: 30m, 1h, 1h45m, 2h35m20s. Then use /session start to begin the session.
Blacklists
Just like in Grian's original series, certain overpowered items are blacklisted to maintain game balance. For example, many seasons ban maces, end crystals, strength potions, and other items that make players too powerful.
Blacklisted items are automatically removed from inventories and cannot be crafted. Enchantment clamping is also implemented: some combat enchantments are limited to level 1.
If bookshelves are banned in a particular season, the enchantment table has been specially modified to allow all enchantments (impossible in vanilla), and some enchantments can be obtained at higher levels directly from the table.
Configuration
Configuration files are located in the config/lifeseries/* folder. Each season has its own file where you can adjust gameplay parameters. Reload configuration with /lifeseries reload or the standard /reload.
Available settings include:
- Starting number of lives
- Blacklisted items
- Clamped enchantments
- Spawn egg drop rates
- Whether players drop items when losing their last life
- Tasks for Secret Life (
config/lifeseries/secretlife/files)

Most commands are only available to server operators (permission level >= 2).
