God Mode
by GaborWnuk
God Mode makes the player immortal in survival worlds, so a death is cancelled and the player stays standing with half a heart left.
What it does
When installed, God Mode cancels anything that would kill a player and leaves them alive. A gamerule can switch immortality on for every player at once. When that gamerule is turned off, immortality becomes a per-player setting changed with the god commands.
The commands need permission level 4, which applies in singleplayer worlds with cheats turned on and to server operators. The mod is built for Minecraft 26.1.2 and runs on Fabric and NeoForge. Fabric needs Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin and Fabric Loader 0.19 or newer, while NeoForge needs Kotlin for Forge and NeoForge 26.1.2.78 or newer. The server requires the mod, and clients may leave it out. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source.
Key features
Cancelled deaths
Damage that would otherwise end the player's life is cancelled, so the player keeps standing.
Global gamerule
A gamerule switches immortality on for everyone, and turning it off hands control to each player.
Per-player god commands
With the gamerule off, god commands grant or remove immortality for individual players.
Persistent god flag
The god flag is stored with the player, so it survives logging out and back in, and death.

Use cases
Survival with a safety net
Players who build, gather and explore in survival can keep going after a dangerous fight without losing their inventory and progress.
Family worlds
Parents who play with younger children can keep the adventure going while the child learns the game.
Who it’s for: Players who want to try survival without the risk of a death, and server owners who want to grant immortality to chosen players through the god commands.
How it compares
Half a Heart Hardcore is a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt mod that is server required with client optional, released under the MIT License, and not open source, with files for 1.21.2 – 26.3. Jellow's Extra Hearts is a Fabric-only mod for 26.2 that is client and server, under the MIT License and not open source. God Mode differs from both by granting immortality rather than changing the heart count.

Dedicated to my 6-year-old son — the bravest adventurer I know.;) Survival god mode for Minecraft — you simply cannot die. No creative mode needed: mine, build, fight and explore knowing the worst that can happen is being left standing at half a heart.
