FabricServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved26.2

What it does

The mod changes how a player spawns after death, so a death is not always final but still costs something. It is a server required mod, and the client can optionally add it. Fabric API is required, and builds exist for Fabric only, currently 1.0.0 for 26.2 published 2026-07-10. The code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

Key features

  1. Limited respawns

    Players can come back after death a set number of times before the run ends for good.

  2. Minimal mixins

    The mod uses few mixins to keep conflicts with other mods low.

  3. Reworked spawning

    Player spawning is reworked from vanilla, with changes that other mods modifying spawns should be able to coexist with.

What the author says

SoulSpawn has minimal mixins, so you shouldn't have too many mod collisions. However, SoulSpawn does completely rework the vanilla spawning, so you may have issues with other mods that also modify how player spawning works.
