  "deathHandling": "RELEASE"
}

How It Works

1. When you join the server, a Nuzlocke run starts automatically
2. If any of your Pokémon faints (in battle or outside), it's marked as dead
3. Dead Pokémon are automatically released from your party
4. Healing dead Pokémon is blocked as a safety net
5. View your fallen friends anytime with /nuzlocke graveyard
