Backmod is a Forge command that teleports a player back to their last death coordinates.

ForgeServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

A player who dies can use the added command to return to the point where they died, so the location is not lost after respawning. The author notes that the coordinates work across dimensions because of how the code is written, which lets the return trip cross from one dimension to another. Backmod runs on the server side only, so players join without installing it, and it is published for Forge on 1.20.1 as its only game version, with build 2.0.0 as the latest file. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Return to last death

    A command sends the player back to the coordinates where they last died.

  2. Cross-dimension travel

    The return works between dimensions, since the code does not restrict the destination to the current one.

  3. Server-side command

    Only the server needs the mod, and players reach the command without installing anything.
