Bukkit

Second chance gives your friends (and enemies) a second chance before they finally go down.

Upon taking a hit that would normally mean your end, you are instead locked in place unable to move or break blocks (Incapacitated). Your health is refilled and begins ticking downwards, also you are still vulnerable to attacks. If anyone comes up and right clicks on you, you are revived to 3 hearts with a cool-down timer to prevent this from happening again.

Features

• Revive your fallen friends with a single right click

Metrics(1.6a and before)

This plugin utilises Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:

• A unique identifier
• The server's version of Java
• Whether the server is in offline or online mode
• The plugin's version
• The server's version
• The OS version/name and architecture
• The core count for the CPU
• The number of players online
• The Metrics version

Current servers/players:

Opting out of this service can be done by editing plugins/Plugin Metrics/config.yml and changing opt-out to true.

Biggest change in 2.0

In 2.0, an alternative to the cooldown system was implemented. Instead of dying while being on cooldown, you become incapacitated again, but bleedout damage increases, shortening the time you have to live. By default, your first down is forgiving, dealing a single hitpoint per decay tick (60 seconds until bleedout by default), but the second time is much harsher, taking two hitpoints each tick (30 seconds). Every down adds another point of damage, until its nigh impossible to be revived, stay healthy out there!
