Deathcoords
by yopshop
Deathcoords sends a chat message with the exact block coordinates and dimension when a player dies, so the spot can be found again.
What it does
When a player dies, the mod posts a color-coded message in chat that gives the x, y and z block coordinates and the readable name of the dimension, such as Overworld, Nether or End. Modded dimensions are reported as well. The message can be copied, which lets players keep the location of their dropped items without guessing from the death screen.
Deathcoords only runs on the client, so a server does not need to install it, but a player who wants to see the death messages has to run it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 32 release versions 1.8.9 – 26.1.2, with 26.1.2 as the newest build, released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license. It is not open source. The mod makes no changes to gameplay.
Key features
Coordinates in chat
A death posts the exact x, y and z position of the player in the chat window at the moment of death.
Dimension name
The message names the dimension where the death happened, including Overworld, Nether, End and modded dimensions.
Color-coded message
The death message is styled with colors so it stands out from other chat lines and is simple to find again.

Use cases
Recovering items after a death
A player who dies far from base can read the coordinates from chat and walk back to the spot where the items fell.
Multiplayer play
Each player who installs the mod sees their own death messages, which helps when several players explore the same world.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric, Forge or NeoForge who want the location of a death recorded in chat. Only the client needs the mod, so it can be added without any change to the server.

What the author says
Never lose your loot again. DeathCoords posts a clean, styled message in chat the moment you die — with your exact coordinates and dimension, ready to copy or screenshot. Loader notes - NeoForge from 1.20.2 onward - Forge is not available for 1.20.3, 1.20.5, and 1.21.2 — use Fabric or NeoForge for those versions
