Death Control

Death Control lets a server choose how deaths are handled in each world. The mod provides four modes, normal, president, battle royale and military, and more than one system can be switched on per world. Death timers can be set with a base value, a multiplier and an optional maximum cap, and hearts can be configured globally or per player. Admin commands cover timers and hearts, and the mod is designed for minigames and custom server formats where deaths have consequences beyond the usual respawn.

In president mode, a designated player holds a special role and the respawn point can be selected. Battle royale uses a team-lives system where each team has a lives target and can receive per-team overrides. Military mode adds knockout and revive mechanics, a final death phase and team respawns. Voice chat can be blocked for players who are down or dead, and the command reference lists the commands that require operator permission, with the exception of afk and stats.

Death Control is published for Forge only, in a single version: 1.0 for 1.20.1, released 2026-07-28. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Its code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
