Killshot
by mpierson531
Killshot lets a player end their own character on the client, using a key press instead of the kill command.
What it does
Killshot is a client-side mod. Pressing its bound key terminates the player's own character, which the game otherwise only allows through the kill command. Because the command needs cheats active and console access, the mod gives a route to the same result without either. Only the client needs the mod; a server does not have to install it to run, and players join without it.
Settings are available in the Fabric build through ModMenu, which the Fabric version includes, and in the Forge build through the Forge config screen. The author describes the mod as a way out of situations such as a bedrock trap where a player cannot dig back up, or long drowning. Fabric API is required on Fabric. The mod is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is open source, with a public source repository and issue tracker.
Files are published for Fabric and Forge, with the latest builds at version 2.1.0 for 1.20.4. The first release dates to 2024-03-19 and the last update to 2024-04-02.
Key features
Self-termination key
A bound key ends the player's character at once, without typing a command.
No cheats required
The action works without activating cheats or opening the console, unlike the kill command.
Configurable settings
More options are available on the config screen, reached through ModMenu on Fabric and the Forge config screen on Forge.
Client-only install
Only the player's client runs the mod, so server owners do not need to add it.

Use cases
Escaping a trapped spot
A player stuck in a bedrock enclosure or a similar position can end the character and respawn instead of digging out.
Ending a drowning
When a player is underwater and wants the situation over with, the key gives a direct exit.
Who it’s for: Single-player players who want a quick way to end a character without enabling cheats, and players who would rather reset from a bad spot than dig or swim out of it.
