InvDeath Mod
by RO4449
InvDeath Mod lets authorized users open a Death History menu that stores each player's last 10 deaths and restores items from them.
What it does
Each death is recorded with the exact date, time, coordinates and dimension, including the Overworld or the Nether. Every entry is shown as a player head that displays the actual skin, so a death can be found in a list of the last 10 for each player. Authorized users can open this menu, inspect the saved inventory and restore items from a chosen death through a custom interface.
Items return to their original slots, including armor, the hotbar and the offhand. Restored items stay visible in the death screen, so the same record can be used more than once if needed. A confirmation prompt appears before a restoration, which guards against repeats of items that were already returned. Creative mode allows an instant one-click restore, and the feature is limited to operators on a server.
The mod runs on a server, and players need nothing installed. It requires Fabric and is published for 1.21.1 only, with the latest Fabric file 1.0.0 in the beta channel. The code is under the MIT License and the project is not open source.
