DeathRollback
by AnemoFlower
DeathRollback lets a Fabric player back up the world when health runs low and roll it back after a death in Minecraft 1.21 and 1.21.1.
What it does
A prompt offers a backup without leaving the world once health sinks beneath a level the player sets. After a death, a rollback prompt appears so the latest backup can be restored. The mod is aimed at survival and hardcore worlds, where a death normally ends the run for good.
Backups can also be managed by commands, which let an operator create, list, restore or remove backups of the current world by hand. Cooldowns between reminders and the health thresholds can be changed in the configuration file.
The mod requires Fabric API and Cloth Config API on Fabric, and Mod Menu adds an options screen when present. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The MIT License applies to the code, which is open source, and the latest file is 0.2.0+1.21.1 for 1.21.1, published on the beta channel on 2026-05-31.

Use cases
Hardcore survival
Players on hardcore worlds can keep a recent save point to return to after an unlucky death.
Risky exploration
Backups taken before a dangerous trip let a player step back if the trip goes wrong.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players of survival and hardcore worlds who want a save point before risky moments. Because the backup mechanism is limited, it works in multiplayer and LAN worlds but not in singleplayer.
