Lifesteal Minecraft Servers

Lifesteal is survival with a twist: your hearts are on the line. When you defeat another player you take one of their hearts, and when you die you lose one. Lose all of them and you are out for a while, usually a set ban time or until someone revives you. Because hearts matter, fights feel tense and teams stick together. Most Lifesteal servers have clans, safe spawn areas, heart items you can craft or trade, and maps that reset every season. It suits players who enjoy PvP and a bit of risk.
