Death Locator
by BizCub
Death Locator tracks where a player died and marks that spot with a waypoint, so the location can be found again later.
What it does
Each time a player dies, the mod records the death point and creates a waypoint there, letting the player return to where the items were dropped. The marker stays visible only to the player who died, and it can be pointed at with a recovery compass held in the inventory. Writing the relevant command grants access to the marker, so server owners decide who can use it.
The mod runs on the server, and players can join without installing it. Fabric needs Fabric API alongside it. Files exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 11 release versions, 1.21.6 – 26.3, and the code is released under the MIT License, though it is not open source.
