Past Death Ghost
by titanitus
Past Death Ghost leaves a translucent ghost at the spot where a player died, with the death message shown above it.
What it does
A ghost is placed at each death location and stays visible in the world, drawn semi-transparent so it does not block the view. The death message appears above the ghost, which lets a player return to the exact place a previous life ended. Ghosts are saved to local storage and remain available between play sessions.
Ghosts are kept apart by dimension, so a death in the Nether leaves its ghost there and does not appear in the Overworld. The number of ghosts kept per player can be configured, and older ones can be cleared when they are no longer wanted. The mod is a Fabric build for Minecraft 1.21.11 and needs Fabric API installed alongside it. Because only the client needs it, servers run without installing anything.
Past Death Ghost is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 only, with its latest file dated 2026-06-05 and first published on the same day. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Translucent death markers
A semi-transparent ghost is placed at the location of each death, so the marker stays visible without hiding the terrain around it.
Death messages above ghosts
The message shown on death is displayed above the ghost, so the cause of each death can be read at its location.
Ghosts saved between sessions
Ghost positions are stored locally, so markers from earlier play sessions are still there after the game restarts.
Separate ghosts per dimension
Each ghost belongs to the dimension where the death happened, which keeps the Nether and End markers out of the Overworld.
Configurable ghost limit and clearing
The number of ghosts kept can be set in the configuration, and old ghosts can be removed to clear the world.
