Minecraft Helden

Quickstart

• In a multiplayer world, an operator can start the lives challenge with /helden start. Players begin with 3 lives; the server’s daily playtime limit is 60 minutes by default.
• Craft a Greifhaken, hold it, and use it to launch it toward a block or entity. Use it again after it catches to pull yourself toward the hook. Crouch to cancel.
• Craft a Rucksack and use it from your main hand to open its 27 storage slots.
• During PvP, watch for the combat countdown. Logging out before it ends kills you. After a death, find your player head and break or right-click it to recover the stored gear.

Overview

Minecraft Helden adds a combat logout penalty, recoverable death caches, and three craftable items. When one player damages another, both are marked in combat for 30 seconds. Further PvP damage refreshes the timer, which appears on screen.

The lives challenge is a server-run mode. When active, players have three lives, shown as blue hearts above the food bar. PvP deaths cost a life; at zero lives, a player is eliminated and enters Spectator mode. Gear from deaths is stored in a player head.

What It Adds

How To Use

Combat and death caches

The combat timer refreshes when either player damages the other. A red on-screen countdown shows the remaining time; when it expires, a message confirms you are no longer in combat.

A death cache appears at your death location, or up to two blocks above it if needed. Break or right-click the player head to remove it and release its contents. If a head cannot be placed there, the head item and gear drop at the death location instead.

Deaths create caches whether or not the lives challenge is active. The life counter decreases only for PvP deaths while the challenge is active; dying while still marked in combat also counts.

Rucksack

Hold the Rucksack in your main hand and use it to open its storage. Move items in and out as you would with a chest. The Rucksack cannot be stored inside another Rucksack.

Greifhaken

Use the Greifhaken to fire it in the direction you are aiming. Once it attaches to a block or entity, use the item again to reel yourself toward it. Crouching cancels the hook; it also disappears if you get more than 40 blocks away. Completing a pull uses durability and grants brief fall-damage protection.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft these items in a crafting table:

Rucksack

Greifhaken

Life Saver

The Greifhaken has 150 durability and can be repaired with iron ingots. A Life Saver is consumed automatically from your inventory when it prevents a life loss; it does not prevent the death or save your gear from the cache.

Progression And Strategy

• Keep track of the combat countdown after every player hit. Wait it out before logging off.
• Recover your head cache promptly after a death, and consider using the Greifhaken to reach difficult locations.
• During the active challenge, check your remaining lives with /helden info. Use /helden time to check your daily time, and /helden list to see player lives.
• Operators can use /helden start to activate the challenge and reset players to three lives, /helden stop to pause the challenge, and /helden playtime off to disable the daily time limit.
