A Minecraft Lifesteal server with crates and voting offers a dynamic and engaging gameplay experience. Here’s an overview of how these features typically work and some ideas on how to implement them:

1. Lifesteal Mechanic
Concept: Lifesteal is a unique gameplay mechanic where players can steal hearts (health) from others in PvP combat. When a player kills another, they gain a heart, and the defeated player loses one. This adds a risk-reward element to combat, making PvP more intense.
Implementation: Use plugins like "Lifesteal SMP" or custom scripts that handle the heart transfer upon death. You can also set a minimum number of hearts a player can have to avoid players getting down to zero and being permanently eliminated.
