Three lives

CloudVale S7 is a hardcore Minecraft server where every death actually matters. When you join you start with three lives. Each time you die you lose one life and when you lose all three you get banned for a few minutes. If you keep dying the ban time goes up all the way to 24 hours. If you stay alive for a while your ban time target goes down and you can earn more lives again.

There is a 24 hour grace period with no PvP so new players can gear up and build safely. After that it turns into full PvP and you have to watch your back. The server blocks combat logging so you cannot just quit to escape a fight.

The server works on both Java and Bedrock clients and does not allow cracked clients. It uses SimpleVoiceChat and BetterTeams so players can make teams and talk to each other while they battle to be the strongest group.

There is a rules system in game. You can type a command to read the rules. If you break the rules you can get punished and if you break the same type of rule three times you get banned. The community hangs out together and the server is meant for players who like intense survival and serious PvP.
