Kantandere
Kantandere, a Forge world generation mod for 1.20.1, adds an afterlife dimension that players reach after dying, with gravestones and ways to return to the living world.
What it does
Death moves a player into a separate dimension called Kantandere instead of an ordinary respawn. Gravestones mark where a player fell, similar to those in other death-related mods, and the afterlife is reached through the transport that follows death. Inside, the player can find ruins and resurrection fields, and the mod describes its progression as still under development.
Tithed Beds are placed at the same coordinates as a bed in the overworld and are used with a Memento Token. Operators can run a backtolife command that spends Memento Tokens, which are magic items capable of returning a player. Stronger tokens carry additional effects, including keeping some inventory after death. The mod is Forge only and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under the MIT License without being open source.
Key features
Afterlife dimension
Death sends the player into the Kantandere dimension, which adds a new place to explore after a death.
Gravestones
Gravestones record where a player died, so the lost belongings can be located again.
Necrosynthesis crafting
Items are made through a crafting method that is only available after death, using Emerald or Cobalt Ingot with Worry Wood Planks.
Memento Tokens
Tokens return a player to life, and stronger ones keep part of the inventory on death; an operator can run the backtolife command.
