One shot protection
by Aslechi
One shot protection, a Forge server-side mod, changes what happens when a player takes lethal damage: instead of dying outright, the player is left with 10% of maximum health.
What it does
When damage would take a player above 90% health, the mod prevents the death and restores the player to 10% of maximum health. After that, a brief immunity period follows during which further damage is nullified, giving the player a short grace period to escape the situation.
The effect is server-sided and configurable. Server owners and modpack developers can choose which damage sources trigger it, including fall damage, void damage and generic kills, and can mark modded damage sources as invalid so they bypass the protection. Configuration files are stored in the OSP folder inside the config folder of the game directory, and the mod does not require any client-side installation.
Installation needs Forge on the server with the mod's dependencies, and the mod is published for 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file released on 2024-01-29. The code is all rights reserved and not open source.
Key features
Configurable one-shot protection
A lethal hit above 90% health leaves the player at 10% of maximum health instead of killing them.
Immunity period
After the save, damage is nullified for a short time, and a sound cue and particles signal that the effect has triggered and that immunity is active.
Selectable damage sources
Fall damage, void damage, generic kills and other sources can each be set to trigger the protection or to be ignored.
Modded damage handling
Damage sources from other mods can be marked as invalid, so their hits remain fatal even with the protection enabled.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases

Who it’s for: The mod is aimed at players who run a server, server owners, and modpack developers who want control over how survival deaths are handled.
