Indomitable
Indomitable changes what happens when a character dies, with a second chance to recover after a fall, drowning or a knockout instead of an immediate respawn.
What it does
Indomitable takes its inspiration from near-death experiences and gives players a similar sense of determination. When a player dies, they are knocked unconscious and wake up hours later, lying on the ground and looking up at the sky. A player who falls into the void finds out what happens next, while one who drowns may wash ashore if they are close enough to land. Players have about five minutes to stabilize before their adrenaline runs out, and in that window they stay slowed, weakened and prone even after the shortest falls.
The mod suits survival play and hardcore mode, where recovering from a death is part of the challenge. Some deaths in the game are glitchy or outside the player's control, and Indomitable is meant to make those recoveries feel fair. The mod needs Fabric API on Fabric. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Fabric and Forge across 36 release versions, 1.16 – 26.1, under All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Unconscious state on death
A death knocks the player unconscious instead of ending the run at once, and the character wakes up hours later.
Recovery window
After waking, the player has about five minutes to stabilize before adrenaline runs out.
Effects after a fall
Slowness, weakness and a prone position follow even the shortest falls, so the recovery window carries real risk.
Drowning and void outcomes
Drowning can end with the player washing ashore near land, and falls into the void lead to an outcome of their own.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Survival and hardcore players who want a death to cost time and risk rather than end a run outright. Server owners who run hardcore worlds can install it on both sides.
How it compares
Haemorrhage is also a client and server mod, but it is open source under the MIT License and published for Fabric only, for 1.20 – 1.21.1. Way New Health is a Forge mod for 1.19 – 1.20.1, released under All rights reserved and not open source. Human Reborn is a Fabric mod for 1.16.5 – 26.2 and is open source under the Apache License 2.0, so it covers a wider version range than Indomitable.
