Immortality by adoleiiiiii
by adoleiiiiii
Immortality ties a stacking damage reduction to a player's death count, and a Totem Undying is consumed to trigger the effect.
What it does
When a player dies while holding a Totem of Undying, the totem is used up and the player gains the Unyielding effect. Each death adds to a count that controls a damage reduction ratio, which climbs toward 95% over repeated deaths. The coefficient behind that ratio is configurable, with a default of 20.
Unyielding lasts for a fixed time. When it expires, maximum health is lowered by the deaths accumulated during it, and a drop larger than current maximum health kills the player outright. Once that penalty is removed, a later death grants Unyielding again. Starting with mod version 1.2.0, players also gain knockback resistance alongside the damage reduction. The mod is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and runs on client and server, so both sides need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering game versions 1.20.1 and 1.21.1.
Key features
Totem-triggered buff
A Totem of Undying is consumed on death to grant the Unyielding effect, which then stays active for a limited time.
Stacking damage reduction
Each death increases a damage reduction ratio, and the configurable coefficient sets how quickly it approaches its cap.
Maximum health penalty
When Unyielding ends, maximum health drops by the deaths accumulated during it, and an excessive drop kills the player.
Strength and Night Vision
Dying under the effect grants Strength and Night Vision for a set duration, and an existing Strength effect is raised a level and its timer reset.

How it compares
The Craftable Series is server-side only, not open source and published for 1.20.1 – 1.21.8, changing how totems of undying are obtained rather than adding a death-count mechanic. Hardcore Totem Nerf is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.20 – 1.21.10, reducing totem effectiveness. Immortality is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and runs on client and server.

What the author says
While the Unyielding effect is active, player death triggers the Totem of Undying effect, and grants the player Night Vision and Strength for a set duration. The Unyielding effect does not disappear when triggered.
