EmberSteal SMP is a multiplayer world that mixes ideas from lifesteal and other power based servers into one place. It is all about fighting and stealing and keeping your progress safe.

When you kill another player you have an equal chance to steal one of their hearts or one of their effect bundles. There is also a third special mechanic that is planned but not shown yet. Everything drops as embers so your gains are never fully safe.

You can craft effect bundles yourself and stack them. If you eat the same bundle again it upgrades from level 1 to 2 and from 2 to 3. All of this is done with custom datapack effects so it feels fresh.

The goal is to make progression feel fast and dynamic but still balanced because other players can steal what you worked for. It is planned for Java and maybe Bedrock and they use simple voice chat so fights and team ups feel more real.

The server is still being worked on and they want people who are down to join or help test it once it is ready probably around mid December.
