Alive Well

Default survival starts with 50 lives, and revival stones can raise the maximum to a configured 60. Trees cannot be chopped without tools, and sand, flint and copper must be dug and crafted before better gear is possible. Zombies dig and build blocks as they approach players, and their base attributes rise gradually over time, so they can pick up dropped items. Hell hogs attack players who wear equipment, and zombies and skeletons have a chance to spawn wearing equipment themselves.

The mod removes the option to cheat in its default hard survival mode, and players dig blocks more slowly. The enchantment table spends experience points instead of levels, up to 24 levels of enchantment, and bookshelves add 10,000 experience of magic. Anvils gain durability variations for copper, mithril and adamantite. Buckets vanish after placing a water source, while holding the left Ctrl key lets a player place infinite water by spending 100 experience points. Structures do not generate during the first 32 days.

Alive Well is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, for 1.19.2 and 26.3. Mod integrity checks are included, and the author suggests pairing it with Deepunderworld Play.
