Deathlink

**Deathlink** is a gameplay datapack that adds a shared-life mechanic to Minecraft. When any player dies for any reason, including combat, fall damage, or environmental hazards, all players in the world are immediately killed as well. This creates a high-stakes multiplayer experience where survival depends on teamwork, communication, and careful decision-making. The datapack works by monitoring each player’s death count using Minecraft’s built-in scoreboard system. When a player’s death count increases, Deathlink triggers a global event that kills every other player. This behavior runs automatically in the background and does not require configuration after installation. ## What this datapack adds * A global shared-life rule that links all player deaths together * Automatic detection of player deaths using Minecraft’s scoreboard system * A cooperative survival mechanic that increases tension and difficulty ## Features * Plug-and-play installation with no setup required * Lightweight implementation with no noticeable performance impact * Designed for multiplayer survival, LAN worlds, SMP events, and challenge runs * Includes commands to enable or disable Deathlink when needed * Suitable for content creators and group challenge gameplay ## Usage * `/function deathlink:enable` enables the shared-life mechanic * `/function deathlink:disable` disables the shared-life mechanic ## Version support * Built for Minecraft 1.21.x and 26.x * Tested datapack only on Minecraft 1.21.10 and 1.21.4 and 26.2
