πŸ”—What is SoulLink?

SoulLink is a Minecraft server plugin that lets players share their health bar, experience points bar and their hunger bar. Anything that happens to you will happen to your linked teammate.

It's inspired by a YouTube series, Double Life, where players in the game are linked with someone else and have to complete a series of objectives.

The original idea of Double life was about a game mode where players are given limited lives. SoulLink takes that and modifies it so that players are linked indefinitely with no cap on lives. Players endure each other's pain throughout their entire time in a server as long as they're linked! Players are able to unlink at any time.

Features

Health, hunger and experience is shared.

Health

Linked player's health bar will always be in-sync. If your linked teammate loses half their health jumping off a cliff, you'll lose half of yours when you're chilling at home.

On the plus side, if your linked teammate replenishes their health, you'll get healed too.

This can be configured so that players will only share damage dealt and health bars are allowed to go out of sync.

Food

Food level is depleted twice as fast due to sharing the food level bar. Any food point your linked teammate loses, you'll also lose.

However, food gained from a linked player only replenishes half. If you eat something and replenish 4 points. Your teammate will only gain 2 points.

Experience

Any experience points you gain, your linked teammate will also gain.

Soul linked players become incapacitated instead of dying instantly.

If you're soul linked with someone and get hurt fatally, your soul link will have the opportunity to to revive you.

Unlinked player health bar is capped.

Any player that isn't linked with anyone will only be able to restore their health up to a specific capacity. By default it's set to half.

This is to encourage your players to soul link.

This can be switched off.
