Effects After Death
by Phyton
Effects After Death keeps Minecraft status effects active through a player's death, with settings that can be tuned per effect, per gamemode and per player.
What it does
Players who die normally lose their potion effects. This mod lets selected effects carry over the respawn, and each effect can be turned on or off separately. Retention can be limited to chosen gamemodes such as survival, creative or spectator, and effects can be given an infinite duration when kept. Effects are grouped across several pages of the configuration screen, and a group toggle page switches several effects at once.
The mod is configured on the server, and a datapack version is available for servers that prefer it over a Java mod. Individual rule sets can be given to each player, so one server can run different effect rules for different groups. Installation needs only the server, since the server is required and the client is optional. Files cover 1.21 – 1.21.11 for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the latest build, 1.1+mod for 1.21.11, was published on 2025-11-23 under a custom license that is not open source.
Key features
Keep effects after death
Chosen status effects persist through the respawn instead of being cleared by death.
Per-effect control
Each Minecraft effect can be enabled or disabled on its own, so retention covers only the effects a server picks.
Gamemode restrictions
Retention can be limited to specific gamemodes, including survival, creative and spectator.
Infinite effects
Kept effects can be given an infinite duration, which suits challenge modes and progression servers.
Group toggle page
Several effects can be switched on or off in one action from a dedicated page.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who want fine control over which effects carry through a death, and players on servers that use such rules. Single-player players can install the mod, but the server side is the part that does the work.
How it compares
Death Effects is a Fabric client-side only mod, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, so it changes only the player's own client. Limited Spectator is a client and server mod under the MIT License for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, and both sides must run it. Effects After Death is server-side with a custom license and offers per-effect and per-gamemode control instead.
