Lifesteal Mod

Description

If you die, you lose a heart.
If you kill a player, you gain the heart.
- If you have already reached the maximum amount of hearts, the heart will turn into an item and enter your inventory if your inventory has room, otherwise the heart will spawn on the ground.
If a player goes to zero hearts, the player is banned from the server.
You can withdraw hearts using the /withdraw [<hearts>] command.
- The command requires the withdraw privilege.
You can bring a banned player back is through using a revive lantern.
Hearts and revive lanterns are craftable.
- Crafting recipes vary on a per-game basis.

Mineclonia is not supported, but VoxeLibre is.
- This is due to the hudbars mod in Mineclonia incorrectly rendering the healthbar based on the hp_max of a player.
  - This issue is fixed in VoxeLibre.
Most versions before 3.0.0 depend on hudbars.
Based off of the Lifesteal SMP in Minecraft.

Solved the health_boost problem in VoxeLibre (hopefully).
- Injected custom code into the registered effect.
  - This is a hacky approach as stated in the API.md of mcl_potions and may cause unnecessary issues.
- Withdrawing and using hearts are disabled if the player has the effect.
- Killing players has been modified to take into account the effect if active.
Added messages when using items in the mod for easier player interpretation.
Add and modify constants.
Add a README.md for API documentation.
Update and add functions in api.lua.
