Heavenbound
Heavenbound changes what happens when a player dies by drowning, falling or suffocating: the soul rises toward the sky.
What it does
When a player dies from falling, drowning or suffocation, the soul ascends upward instead of dropping to the place of death. Players who are in spectator mode are lifted the same way, and the rise can be configured to a set height. Slow Falling is applied so the player can land safely at the top of the rise. Both client and server need the mod, so a server and every player on it must run Heavenbound. It is built for Fabric on Minecraft 1.21.1 and published under the MIT License. The code is not open source.
