Just Enough Accidents (JEA)
by Leafuke
Just Enough Accidents watches for dangerous moments in play, and when one is detected it asks MineBackup for an accident-site save point.
What it does
JEA checks for fatal falls, drowning, lava entry without Fire Resistance, elytra nearing breakage while gliding, critically low effective health, a Totem Undying activation, and a creeper beginning its swell. A configured threat leads the mod to request a world save and an accident-site archive from MineBackup, which gives the player a recovery point. Each detector can be switched on or off on its own.
Once an accident is detected and the archive exists, the owner gets a clickable message offering to restore that point. The restore runs through MineBackup's own confirmation countdown, and JEA never restores the world without a player choosing to. The code is open source under the MIT License, and both the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 18 release versions, 1.20 – 26.2.
