LivesCraft

LivesCraft is a datapack that brings a new gamemode with Lives into Minecraft. Players are given a limited number of lives at the beginning, making every in-game decision count. Get ready to strategize, plan, and test your skills in a thrilling and challenging Minecraft adventure!

• Limited Lives System: Players start with a default of 5 lives, making every action and decision in the game more meaningful and exhilarating.
• Enchanted Golden Apples: Players can gain an extra life by consuming enchanted golden apples, adding a rewarding aspect to exploration and resource gathering.
• Spectator Game Over: When a player loses their last life, they will be switched to spectator mode, allowing them to observe the world from a fixed position in the sky.
• Singleplayer and Multiplayer increases the stakes and the need for cooperation and strategy among players.
• Easy Installation: User-friendly LivesCraft is simple to install and seamlessly integrates with your Minecraft world. Once installed, just type /reload and you will be ready to go!

 
I recommend using the Styled Player List Mod in addition to the LivesCraft Datapack for an enhanced experience, but it is optional and purely cosmetic.
If you want to simplify your gameplay even more, you can also add craftable notch apples pack by Vanilla Tweaks.
