cys - Cure Your Self
When a player dies, cys leaves a zombie at the death spot that holds the inventory and the stored experience, and the zombie can be cured back into the player.
What it does
Death normally drops items where the player fell, where lava, fire or despawning can destroy them. Under cys, the items are stored in a zombie spawned at the location, wearing a green skin that displays the dead player's name. Because the items sit inside the zombie, they are not lost to lava, burning or despawning. The configured share of experience is held by the zombie as well, and killing it drops the full inventory and grants the stored experience directly to the killer. Only the player can kill the zombie, and it is immune to other damage sources.
The zombie can be cured like a villager, which revives the dead player and teleports them back to the zombie's location with the full inventory restored. In hardcore mode the cure must be done by another living player on the server, so the death carries a real cost. In peaceful mode the zombie does not attack the player, and the difference from normal mode is that attack behavior only. The mod can be adjusted through the NeoForge config system on NeoForge and a custom config on Fabric, where hardcore, peaceful and the immunity and experience settings can be switched on and off.
