HardRevive

Revive fallen players with custom craftable items, intuitive GUIs, and fully configurable death management.

HardRevive turns death into a reversible event on your server. When a player dies they are automatically banned until another player crafts a Revival Totem and brings them back through an intuitive GUI. Every aspect — items, recipes, GUIs, sounds, particles, messages — is configurable.

Works on Hardcore and normal Survival servers.

Features

• Revival Totem — fully configurable item (material, name, lore, glint, CustomModelData, ItemFlags)
• Configurable crafting recipe — change any ingredient or the entire shape
• Recipe hologram — /recipe spawns a floating 3-D display of the crafting grid; permanent for admins, 60-second / move / sneak for regular players
• Automatic ban on death — dead players cannot rejoin until revived; ban lifted automatically on revival
• Paginated revive GUI — browse dead players by skull, name, death time, cause, and time-since-death
• Search — filter dead players by partial name via chat input
• Confirmation screen — prevents accidental revives
• Hardcore & Normal mode — works on both server types
• Broadcasts — configurable death/ban/revive announcements
• Full language support — 8 languages bundled; add your own messages_xx.yml
• Sounds & particles — every event has its own configurable sound and particle effect
• bStats — optional anonymous analytics with custom charts
• Update checker — async Modrinth version check on startup; notifies admins on join
