Kick on Death – Simple Hardcore Effect (Skript)

This Skript is designed for scripted Minecraft servers that want to create the illusion of a hardcore experience without actually running the server in true Hardcore mode. Instead of permanently banning the player, the script simply kicks them from the server when they die, making it feel more intense and hardcore-like while still allowing server owners to control what happens afterward.

What the Script Does

Detects when a player dies.

Waits 1 tick to ensure the death event finishes properly.

Kicks the player from the server with a custom message.


This creates a hardcore-style atmosphere, where death has immediate consequences, while still keeping full flexibility for server administrators.

Features

Very lightweight – only a few lines of code.

Simple and easy to configure.

No performance impact.

Perfect for script-based or event-based servers that want custom mechanics.


Compatibility

This script has been tested on Minecraft versions 1.20 – 1.21 and should work on any server running the Skript plugin.

Requirements

A Spigot / Paper server

The Skript plugin installed


Notes

This script is intended exclusively for scripted servers that want to simulate a hardcore-style experience without enabling the official Hardcore gamemode. It is ideal for custom gamemodes, events, or servers where death should have a strong consequence but not necessarily permanent bans.

Because of its extremely simple and lightweight design, it can be safely used on servers of any size without affecting performance.
