DeathKick
by wafflebitss
DeathKick makes a player's death disconnect them from the server, so they must rejoin before playing on.
What it does
When a player dies on a server running DeathKick, the player is kicked from the session immediately. The player can rejoin straight away, so the mod forces a brief exit and re-entry after each death and gives survival play a hardcore-style feel. It is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.10 – 1.21.11, released under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. Only the server needs it; players can join without installing anything.
Key features
Instant kick on death
A player who dies is removed from the server at once, without a separate command or delay.
Immediate rejoin
The player can reconnect right away, so the interruption is short and the world stays the same.
Hardcore-style pacing
The forced exit after each death gives survival sessions a stricter feel without changing world rules.
