Life Swap
Kill Enemies, Swap Health, but be careful or you might lose it all
About this Mod
🔄 Life Swap
Kill or be killed. Literally.
Life Swap turns every fight into a gamble — when you kill a mob or player, you inherit their max health. Take down a Warden and walk away nearly unkillable. Finish off by a Silverfish and, well... good luck.
💀 How It Works
Every kill swaps your max health with your target's. No grinding, no tiers — just pure risk and reward.
- Kill a player? You take their max health. They respawn with yours.
- Kill a mob? Your max health becomes theirs.
- Die naturally? Your health resets to 20 HP by default — unless you enable persist mode.
