Death Coin Mod
by Antara89
Death Coin Mod lets players recover the items they dropped on death, using a coin that restores the lost inventory and experience once it is redeemed.
What it does
After a death, the player can retrieve the dropped items by redeeming a Deathcoin. The coin is used in place of the keep inventory rule, and vanilla death drops stay visible in the world until a coin is redeemed. A coin can be used only once, even when its item has been copied, so the same recovery cannot be claimed twice.
Each redemption is tracked through the deathcoinmod:deathcoins statistic, which counts successful redemptions, and active unredeemed coins are counted under the same key. Server operators can control which players may use the feature, and redeemed-drop cleanup and player restrictions persist across server restarts. The mod also gives one safe chance to recover a bad death.
Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, both for 1.21.1. Fabric API is required on Fabric. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and the code is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
Key features
Death coin recovery
A Deathcoin restores the items and experience lost on death, so the player can reclaim them later.
One redemption per coin
Each coin is redeemed once, and a copied item cannot be used to recover the same drops twice.
Redemption statistics
Successful redemptions and unredeemed coins are tracked under the deathcoinmod:deathcoins statistic.
Per-player access control
Operators decide which players may use the feature, and the restrictions survive server restarts.
