PermanentHearts is a Paper plugin that adds a persistent death penalty system to your server. Each time a player dies, they permanently lose 1 heart from their maximum health. Their reduced max health is saved automatically and remains after relogging and server restarts.
The plugin can also reward PvP kills by giving the killer 1 heart back, making combat feel more meaningful while still keeping death punishing. A minimum health limit is enforced so players can never drop below 1 heart.
