Roguelike Minecraft is my new Datapack which adds Co-Op perma-death to Minecraft.
READ BELOW FOR DISCLAiMER

Inspired by Co-Op Roguelike concepts in games like Enter The Gungeon, Roguelike Minecraft implements a new Perma-Death system to the game which makes Multiplayer Hardcore Mode more fun by providing a more permanent challenge while still allowing for some recovery after mistakes are made. Basically, you can summon players back from the dead after they die with different Multi-Block structures. Roguelike Minecraft also is the the basis for some of my future Datapacks which will add more challenges/content to the game that revolve around difficulty.

This Datapack is intended for Multiplayer, so dying turns you into a ghost instead of deleting your world. As a ghost you can't do much, however a framework is in place for me to add ghost abilities in new packs I make. However, as long as you have 1 living player on the server you can be revived. The main goal is to encourage less dying and more teamwork so you don't end up all dying at once and losing the world.

There is now a lives system (Version 1.1.0+) which starts at zero by default. If your number of Deaths is greater than the number of lives you turn into a ghost instead. To set lives, write a datapack with the tick function having the command "scoreboard players set MaxLives Lives [Number Of Lives]", or you can do it in a command block set to repeating with the same command.

Tutorial:
Firstly, ghosts are enabled at any time while this pack is active. The only other thing this pack adds is revival so this is a tutorial on how to get started with that. First, we need to build a Magic Combiner. Place an Emerald Block in the middle of where you want it to be and surround the 4 blocks next to it with stairs of any kind. They don't have to be in the corner. After that, place lapis blocks in each direction 3 blocks away from the middle emerald block. After that drop a crafting table on the emerald to finish the Combiner. You can look at the thumbnail for an example. After that, place 1 feather, 1 ink sac, and 1 book in the slots and throw a lapis block on the middle emerald block and you will receive a book. The rest of the Pack is explained in the book.

Notes:
-The Datapack itself contains a custom crafter with only 1 use.
-Summoner also only has 1 usage.
As you can tell, the Datapack doesn't have much content, that is because the pack is meant to be modular, with multiple different packs releasing with different content in them that all use this pack's content as well. The blog page for this pack explains in more detail.

Update Log:
Version 1.1.0:
-Added Lives system. Default 0 Lives so you have 1 Death until Ghost.

Disclaimer:
Roguelike Minecraft is meant to add a much more difficult Hard-Core like gameplay to Multiplayer, however, that does mean you CAN lose your world. The Datapackwill NOT delete your world. Instead, the Datapack wont let you interact with it if you are a ghost. If the whole server is a ghost, you can't interact with it without commands.
If you really want to get your world back, run /team leave (your name) to stop being a ghost. It can be done in the server console or in the chat if you are op'ed.
