Frequently Asked Questions

Does it support Folia?

Yes, xLifestealCore is built with async-first data handling and is fully compatible with Folia servers.

Can I customize the crafting recipe?

Absolutely. You can define the shape and multi-material ingredients in the config.yml. Use /ls recipe in-game to see changes.

How do the elimination bans work?

When a player hits the minimum heart limit (usually 0), they are immediately banned. You can set a timed duration (e.g., 24 hours) or make it permanent until revived.
