About this Mod
HarshDeath
This mod tries to bring an alternative death experience. When you die you will respawn with only maximum 2 hearths (configurable) for up to 30 minutes (configurable). There is an expensive rejuvenation potion that can cure this. This mod should be compatible with any other mod that affects your items (like gravestone mods)

Here you see an image of the player being restricted to max four hearts. Luckily they have a rejuvenation potion:

HarshDeath server crashes on startup – what to do?

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