Respawn Effects

Punish a player past the death itself by controlling how they come back — weakened, hungry, and debuffed.

respawn:
  set-health: -1.0
  set-food: -1
  potion-effects: []
  # - "SLOWNESS:200:0"

Key	Default	Description
set-health	-1.0	Respawn health in half-hearts (max 20). -1 = leave untouched (full).
set-food	-1	Respawn food level (0–20). -1 = leave untouched.
potion-effects	[]	Potion effects applied on respawn.

Potion effects

Each entry is EFFECT:durationTicks:amplifier (20 ticks = 1 second; amplifier 0 = level I):

respawn:
  set-health: 10.0          # respawn on 5 hearts
  set-food: 6               # respawn hungry
  potion-effects:
    - "SLOWNESS:200:0"      # Slowness I for 10s
    - "WEAKNESS:200:1"      # Weakness II for 10s

Use any valid Bukkit PotionEffectType name.

Respawn effects make death sting after the player is back on their feet — great for a “recovering from death” feeling. Combine with a harsh item or money penalty, or use them as the only penalty for a lighter server.
