v2.6.0 New

• bStats metrics — anonymous usage stats (server + player count, MC version, Java, OS) to help me prioritize updates.
• "Hearts per kill" chart tracking your hearts-lost-per-death value across servers.

Privacy Info

• 100% anonymous. No IPs, names or server addresses.
• Opt out anytime in plugins/bStats/config.yml.
• Plug-and-play. Drop in the new JAR and restart, no config changes.

2.5.3 Fixed

• Consume particles now display correctly in first-person, with a wider burst around you so others can see it too.
• Consume sound now plays clearly at full volume for you, and softer for nearby players.
• Fixed a 2.5.2 bug where pop-animation was not written to disk. Configs now self-heal on boot and missing keys are added automatically.
• Upgrading from a broken 2.5.2 that had totem-pop: false? Re-set pop-animation: false after restart. Everything else is kept.

2.5.2 Changed

• Renamed totem-pop to pop-animation.
• Configs from 2.5.0 and 2.5.1 upgrade automatically on first start.

2.5.1 Improved

• The pop animation now shows your custom heart texture instead of the vanilla totem, visible in both first and third person.

2.5.0 New

• Resource pack support on every item (hearts, golden hearts, revive beacon, custom hearts, GUI items) via custom-model-data. Set to 0 to disable.
• Consume effects when a heart or golden heart is used: configurable particles, sound and a pop animation.
• New console startup and shutdown banners.

Placeholder Update

`%lifesteal_hearts%`
`%lifesteal_max_hearts%`
`%lifesteal_revives%`
display:
hearts-out-of-20: false # true = 20/19/18 format, false = 10.0/9.5/9.0 format

zLifeSteal v2.4.2 Update

This update introduces two new placeholders to expand customization options for server owners and developers.

Added Placeholders

• %lifesteal_hearts% – Displays the player’s current heart count
• %lifesteal_revives% – Displays the player’s total revive count

These placeholders can be used across supported plugins, scoreboards, menus, and other placeholder-supported systems.
No additional configuration changes are required.

ZLifeSteal v2.4.1 – Permission Update

With the release of v2.4.1, the /ls stats command now has a dedicated permission node.

Server owners can now control access to this command through permission managers such as LuckPerms if they wish to restrict or disable it for certain groups.

New Permission:
If this permission is not granted, players will not be able to use the /ls stats command.

This change provides greater flexibility for servers that want to customize feature access based on ranks or roles.
