Withdraw Hearts and Manage Lifesteal Settings with Commands

The addon has two chat commands. One lets any player withdraw hearts. The other opens an operator-only admin menu for running the server's lifesteal rules.

Withdrawing hearts as a player

1. Open chat.

2. Type /lifesteal withdraw <amount>. Replace <amount> with the number of hearts you want to take out of your health pool.

3. Press Enter and check your health bar. It should shrink by that many hearts.

Be careful: Withdrawing lowers your maximum health, and losing all your hearts gets you banned. Never withdraw so many that a single PvP loss would finish you.

Using the admin menu as an operator

Only operators can use this command.

1. Type /admin-lf in chat to open the Admin Menu.

2. Edit player hearts. Pick a player and use the slider to set how many hearts they have. Use this to fix mistakes, settle disputes or reset players.

3. Change lifesteal settings. Open the lifesteal configuration menu to adjust how the addon behaves on your server.

4. Review banned players. Check the list of players who were eliminated, so you know who is waiting to be revived.

After making changes, ask an affected player to confirm their health bar looks right. Announce any rule changes in chat so everyone knows what to expect.
