Death Penalty
Bans players for a period of time if they die.
About this Mod
This mod aims to make your life more valuable by temporarily banning you from the server. Each player has their own penalty index, which increases each time they cause the death of a player (even their own). If you die, your penalty will be imposed, which is defined by the Fibonacci sequence and can range from 0 minutes to 17711 minutes (12 days, 7 hours and 11 minutes) depending on your penalty index.
Penalty Rules
- Player A dies on his own
- Player A gets his current penalty applied
- Player A gets his penalty index increased
- Player A kills player B
- Player B gets his current penalty applied
- Player A gets his penalty index increased
Penalty Time
The penalty time is defined by the Fibonacci sequence from 0 to 22.
| Penalty Index | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | ... | 21 | 22 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Penalty Time | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 8 | 13 | ... | 10 946 | 17711 |
Penalty Commands

Server lagging with Death Penalty – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Death Penalty consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
