Lifesteal server hosting
Kill a player, gain a heart. Lose all of yours and you are out.
On a lifesteal server every player kill moves one heart from the victim to the killer. Players at zero hearts are eliminated — usually banned or put in spectator mode until someone revives them with a craftable item.
The mechanic comes from a plugin on Paper. Because fights decide everything, a lifesteal server needs stable tick rates and protection against attacks from rival players.
What you get
Included in every plan: DDoS protection, NVMe storage and automatic backups.

Lifesteal questions
How does lifesteal work technically?
The plugin changes each player’s max health attribute. A kill lowers the victim’s max health by one heart and raises the killer’s. Most plugins also add a craftable heart item.
What happens at zero hearts?
That is up to you. Common options are a temporary ban, a permanent ban until revived, or spectator mode. Set it in the plugin configuration.
Why does location matter for PvP?
Hit registration depends on ping. Host where most of your players are — EU players on Germany, US players on Salt Lake City or Charlotte.
