Qezuu - Reviving
by Qezuu
Qezuu - Reviving replaces instant death with a Downed state, so teammates can bring a player back during a multiplayer adventure or hardcore run.
What it does
When a player takes fatal damage, the mod sends them into a Knockdown State instead of ending their life at once. A downed player can be revived by a teammate who right-clicks them for a 5-second revival process, and players can also give up and respawn immediately by holding left-click for 5 seconds. Normal actions such as attacking and breaking blocks are disabled while a player is downed, so the rescue is the only thing that happens to them.
The mod is built for multiplayer adventures and hardcore play, where a single mistake would otherwise end a run. Each downed player gets a countdown before they truly die, and the countdown shortens on repeated knockdowns, so the second and third falls are harder to recover from. The mod is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and it has to be installed on the client and on the server. The files are released under All rights reserved, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Second chance on knockdown
A fatal hit leaves the player downed with a 40-second window before a true death, giving teammates time to reach them.
Shrinking revive timer
Each later knockdown halves the timer, from 40 seconds down to 20, and the timer resets only after a respawn.
Forced crouch and mob camouflage
A downed player is forced into a slow crouch, and hostile mobs lose interest in them, which gives teammates a chance to rescue them.
Name tags and progress bars
Name tags show DOWNED in red or REVIVING in green above players, with a live countdown, and the action bar shows progress for both the rescuer and the person being revived.

How it compares
Chaos Player Revive covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 26.3 and is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, while Qezuu - Reviving is Forge only and not open source. Revive CD is a server-side only Forge mod for 1.20 – 1.20.6 under the MIT License, so players join without installing it, which differs from this mod's requirement that both sides run it.
