Incapacitated
Incapacitated gives a player a downed stage between life and death, where a revive is still possible before the final death.
What it does
A player who takes fatal damage is first incapacitated rather than killed. By default three downs are allowed before the death is final, and an enchanted golden apple revives the player on the spot, while a normal golden apple resets the count of downs. Running the /incap die command while incapacitated ends the wait sooner for a player with no hope of revival.
Some causes of death, lava included, skip the downed stage and kill the player at once regardless of how many downs remain. The client config can turn on a desaturation filter during the last down, which is a visual cue only. Fabric API is required on every loader, and the mod bundles Cardinal Components API, so no separate install is needed for it. Incapacitated runs on client and server, is released under the MIT License, and is open source; files cover 1.18.2 – 1.21.1 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with snapshot builds published.
Key features
Three downs by default
A player is incapacitated up to three times before being killed outright, and the number of downs is configurable.
Golden apple revives
An enchanted golden apple revives the player instantly, and a normal golden apple resets the downs counter.
Fast succumb command
The /incap die command lets an incapacitated player give up on revival and die sooner.
Last stand filter
An optional client setting desaturates the screen during the final down, so the state is recognizable at a glance.
Instant death causes
Causes such as lava skip the downed stage, so some deaths cannot be recovered from.
