Instant Respawn
by spunkyinsaan
Instant Respawn removes the death screen, so a player returns to the spawn point immediately after dying, without clicking the Respawn button.
What it does
Instead of showing the death screen, the mod catches the moment a player dies and skips it, so the player returns to the spawn point without pressing Respawn. It uses Minecraft's internal respawn mechanics, so the return happens inside the normal game flow rather than through a separate system.
It is aimed at players who want fewer delays after a death, such as during intense survival fights or PvP moments where waiting through menus interrupts play. It works in both singleplayer and multiplayer, and a lightweight config is included so there is little to set up after installation.
The mod is published for Fabric only, across nine release versions 1.21 – 1.21.8, with 1.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest file. Because only the client needs it, players install it themselves and servers can run without it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

The player is placed at the spawn point as soon as the death is registered, without a click.
Singleplayer and multiplayer
The respawn behavior applies in both singleplayer worlds and multiplayer games.
