Last Breath
by Poloshii2343
Last Breath changes death in survival worlds: a player who falls enters a Downed state for a limited time before final death, and a grave keeps the items.
What it does
Instead of dying instantly, a player enters a Downed state and has a set amount of time to survive. During that window the player can revive themselves with a single-use Medkit, or another player can reach them and perform a faster revival. The downed timer can be configured, so server owners decide how long a rescue has. If nobody revives the player in time, the death becomes permanent and the items are left in a grave.
Protected graves store the dropped items, and only the player who owns a grave can access its contents, so lost gear can be recovered safely. A custom HUD shows the downed state on screen. The mod is designed for both singleplayer and multiplayer worlds, and it requires NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1. Its files are published as a beta build, v0.2.0, released 2026-07-24.
Key features
Downed state
Players who fall are placed in a downed state for a limited time, instead of dying on the spot.
Self-revive with a Medkit
A single-use Medkit lets a downed player revive themselves before the timer runs out.
Faster teammate revival
Another player can revive a downed teammate more quickly, which turns rescues into a shared task.
Protected graves
Dropped items are stored in a grave that only its owner can open, keeping them safe after a final death.
