Overview

The death fee charges a percentage of a player’s balance when they die. Use it to add economic risk to PvE and PvP events, or simply as a sink tied to death events. max-loss caps the absolute amount so one unlucky death never wipes a player’s entire bank account.

Configuration 

death-fee:
  enabled: true
  percentage: 0.5     # 0.5% of balance on death
  max-loss: 5000.0    # never lose more than 5000 in one death
  disabled-worlds:
    - hub
    - lobby
    - arena

Options

Key Type Default Description
enabled boolean false Enable or disable the death fee
percentage double 0.5 Percentage of current balance charged on death
max-loss double 5000 Hard cap on loss per death (set to 0 to disable cap)
disabled-worlds list [] World names where the death fee is never applied

Tips

  • Always set a max-loss to prevent extreme penalties in high-risk areas.
  • List safe worlds like hub and lobby in disabled-worlds.
  • Players with eztax.exempt are immune to the death fee.
  • Combine with the burn sink destination to create a true death-as-loss-of-wealth mechanic.
