Death Return

Death Return is a Fabric mod focused on death position tracking with a minimal and practical workflow.

When a player dies, the mod automatically records the dimension, coordinates, and timestamp, keeps the latest 20 death entries, and provides command-based viewing plus clickable chat actions for quick access and teleportation. Both vanilla and modded dimensions are supported.

Overview

• Automatically records death location without manual input.
• Keeps the latest 20 death history entries per player.
• /deathpos shows history in pages of 5 entries.
• Each entry includes a clickable teleport action.
• Sends a compact chat message on death with quick actions.
• Supports admin queries for other players.
• Supports vanilla dimensions and mod-added dimensions.
• Main logic is server-driven, so client installation is optional for multiplayer use.
