Knocked Down!
by Exmori
Knocked Down! lets a player who would die fall into a crawling state instead, where another player can revive them before a timer runs out.
What it does
When a player takes fatal damage, the Knocked Down state takes effect in place of death. The player crawls on the ground, cannot interact with the world, and carries several debuffs while the XP bar shows a countdown. Only damage caused by other players knocks a player down; damage from other sources, such as falls or hostile mobs, still kills instantly. The mod can be set to knock players down from environmental damage as well, regardless of its source.
Teammates restore a fallen player by crouching next to them and right-clicking, which keeps them from dying. The only penalty for being revived is losing the current XP level progress: a player at level 10 with 50% progress towards level 11 stays at level 10 with 0% progress. The time before a knocked down player dies is configurable, with a default of 10 seconds.
The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, across 16 release versions 1.20.1 – 1.21.10, under the MIT License; the code is not open source. The latest Fabric file is 1.21.1-1.0.0 for 1.21.10, published on 2026-02-02.
