Lifesteal SMP is a hardcore survival game mode where player health is dynamic:

• Every time you eliminate another player in PvP, you permanently steal 1 heart (2 HP) from them.
• Every time you die in PvP, you lose 1 heart.
• The default maximum heart limit is 20 hearts (40 HP).

If your hearts drop to 0, you become eliminated for 3 days. On FordMC, you automatically revive after 3 days without needing any revive beacon! Once the 3-day elimination timer ends, you can rejoin the Lifesteal realm with your base hearts restored and jump straight back into the action.

No, you cannot craft hearts on FordMC!

Instead, hearts must be purchased from the in-game HeartShop using Heart Fragments:

1. Kill players in PvP: Eliminating players in combat awards you Heart Fragments.
2. Open HeartShop: Run /heartshop anywhere in-game.
3. Redeem Hearts: Exchange your collected Heart Fragments in the HeartShop to buy extra permanent hearts!

No revive beacon is required! FordMC features an automatic core revival system:

• Automatic 3-Day Revive: Once eliminated at 0 hearts, you are placed on a 3-day cooldown. After 3 days, the server automatically revives you for free with default base hearts.
• No Beacon Crafting: You do not need to craft, place, or use any revive beacon. Simply wait 3 days to automatically rejoin the Lifesteal realm!

When taking or dealing damage to another player, you are placed in Combat Tag for 15 seconds. Disconnecting, typing /spawn, or closing your game while tagged triggers an automatic combat death, dropping your inventory and stealing your heart.

FordMC Lifesteal includes a land claiming system:

• Right-click opposite corners of your land with a Golden Shovel, or use /claim.
• Trust your teammates using /trust <player> to grant building/chest access.
• Unclaim or resize claims at any time with /abandonclaim.

Yes, raiding is allowed! Finding unprotected bases, blowing up terrain with TNT/Crystals, and looting unclaimed chests is part of the hardcore survival experience. However, using hacks, X-Ray, or cheating to find hidden bases is strictly forbidden.

Useful survival commands:

• /sethome <name> — Save your current coordinates as a teleport waypoint.
• /home <name> — Teleport back to your saved home after a 3-second warmup.
• /tpa <player> — Send a teleport request to a friend.
• /tpaccept — Accept an incoming teleport request.
• /spawn — Return to the safe central spawn area.

Never drop items on the ground to trade! Always use the secure trade system by typing /trade <player>. Both players must lock in and confirm the trade before any items or money are exchanged.

Yes! Both the Nether and End dimensions are fully unlocked. You can farm Blazes, mine Ancient Debris, defeat the Ender Dragon, and explore End Cities for Elytras and Shulker Boxes.

FordMC Practice PvP features high-performance competitive arenas with instant matchmaking for:

• Crystal PvP (Obsidian, End Crystals, Anchor, Totems)
• Anchor PvP (Respawn Anchors, Glowstone, Totems)
• 1.8.9 Nodebuff / PotPvP (Speed II, Healing Pots, Ender Pearls)
• 1.21 Mace Combat (Wind Charges, Mace smash mechanics)
• Axe & Shield (1.9+ timing and shield disables)
• Gapple / UHC Duels (Golden Apples, rod/bow combat)

Crystal PvP is modern Minecraft's fastest combat mode. Players place Obsidian and detonate End Crystals to deal heavy blast damage, while managing Totems of Undying in their off-hand. FordMC features custom zero-delay crystal placement physics for lightning-fast combos.

Mace PvP uses the official 1.21 Mace weapon. Falling from higher elevation multiplies the weapon damage upon landing a smash hit. Throwing wind charges directly below you launches you into the air, allowing you to execute massive aerial smash attacks.

Every duel kit has separate Ranked ELO ratings. Winning ranked matches awards ELO points and climbs divisions (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Master, Champion). Check top players at spawn or with /leaderboard.

Type /party create to start a party. Invite friends with /party invite <player>. Once assembled, you can start Party vs Party duels, 2v2 / 3v3 team fights, or Party Free-For-All matches!

Yes! Run /kit editor or right-click the Kit Editor NPC in the Practice lobby. You can rearrange items, armor, pearls, and potions to match your exact hotbar preferences for every single duel mode.

To craft a 3x3 Crafting Table (Workbench) in Minecraft:

1. Chop down any tree log (Oak, Birch, Spruce, etc.) with your bare hands or an axe.
2. Open your 2x2 inventory crafting grid by pressing E.
3. Place 1 Wood Log into any slot to produce 4 Wooden Planks.
4. Place 1 Wooden Plank in each of the 4 slots of your 2x2 grid.
5. Collect the Crafting Table from the output box and right-click to place it down!

See full visual crafting tutorials at fordmc.xyz/guides.

In a 3x3 Crafting Table, arrange:

• Top row: 3 Glass
• Middle row: 1 Glass, 1 Eye of Ender (center), 1 Glass
• Bottom row: 1 Glass, 1 Ghast Tear (bottom-center), 1 Glass

In a 3x3 Crafting Table, arrange:

• Top row: 3 Crying Obsidian
• Middle row: 3 Glowstone blocks
• Bottom row: 3 Crying Obsidian

Charge the anchor with Glowstone before detonating it in the Overworld for PvP combat.

In a 3x3 Crafting Table, arrange 1 Iron Ingot in the top-center slot, and 6 Wooden Planks in a "Y" shape (top-left, top-right, middle-left, middle, middle-right, bottom-middle).

Place 8 Cobblestone or Blackstone blocks along the entire outer perimeter of a 3x3 Crafting Table, leaving the center slot empty.

Diamonds generate below Y: 15 and increase in frequency the deeper you go. The single best level for branch mining is Y: -58 (just 5 blocks above bedrock level to avoid bedrock clutter).
