**Season 5** is the fifth season of the Lifesteal SMP. It began on July 8, 2023, about a month after the end of Season 4, and is currently ongoing.

At launch, the season welcomed three new members, all applicants: 4CVIT, JumperWho, and MinuteTech. Four members have been added mid-season: Peentar, wemmbu, TheRealSquiddo and Jepexx, with the latter being a returning member.

rekrap2 left for Season 5, due to a lack of interest in creating SMP content; however, he may join at a later date. Two members have left the season midthrough; McClutchYT left in September 2023 due to controversy; ItzSubz\_ left in October 2023 for mental health reasons, and to focus on different content paths.

## Rules

The Lifesteal Rules are listed in a Google Doc, signed by the members of the season. Below, you can find a copy, excluding mindset reminders, of this rule document.

The rules of Season 5 were centered around removing exploits from the server, as most members agreed that it had been overused in Season 4. The kit of Season 5 was also significantly altered from its predecessor; netherite armor and weapons, Totems of Undying, and ender pearls were banned, bringing back a UHC-style kit similar to Season 3 and early Season 4, though with most potions and tipped arrows being allowed and no golden apple cap.
