Death Wisp
by gyarakushi
When a player dies, Death Wisp lets them fly around the area to recover dropped items, on NeoForge for 1.21.1.
What it does
After a death, the player respawns in spectator mode with reduced vision speed, and can fly freely over the death location to locate items with less effort. Leaving spectator mode is done with a left click on the air, which clears negative effects and halves hunger. Death Wisp is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 and needs its listed dependencies to run. It runs on client and server, so both the server and each player need it, and it is released under the MIT License without being open source.
Key features
Spectator flight after death
Respawning puts the player into spectator mode, so they can fly over the death spot to search for dropped items.
Reduced vision speed
The spectator view moves more slowly than normal flight, which makes the search controlled rather than instant.
Exit on left click
A left click on the air leaves spectator mode, clears negative effects and reduces hunger by half.
