back-command
by codeyoubyme
back-command gives players a /back command that returns them to the place where they last died, and it also lets them kill themselves on purpose with an instant-death command.
What it does
Running the back command teleports the player to the coordinates of their most recent death. The recorded location is consumed after a successful teleport, so a second use needs another death first. Using the command again before another death shows the stored location instead. Deaths in dangerous spots such as lava or the void are handled so the return trip is safer, and the teleport works across dimensions.
The command is built for server-side use: the teleport logic runs on the server, and the stored death locations stay in memory, surviving a full world or server restart. Players who die somewhere dangerous can use the command to recover their items, and regular Minecraft inventory-drop rules still apply to what was lost. A separate instant-death command kills the player outright, which creates a new back location.
The mod is published for Fabric Loader only, for Minecraft 26.2, and is distributed under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The latest Fabric file is 1.0.1 for 26.2, released 2026-08-20, and the first public release dates from 2025-08-23.

Died far from home, in the void, or inside lava? Back Command gives every player one chance to return after each death. The mod will teleport you to your recorded death location and then clear it. You will receive another /back only after dying again.
