Rebirth
by pppchka
Rebirth replaces the usual death noise with a rebirth sound, and the sound depends on how the player died.
What it does
Rebirth is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 26.2 that swaps the standard death sound for a rebirth sound drawn from the Re:ZERO series. Three sound variations exist, from a relatively calm one to much darker and more disturbing ones.
After a death, Rebirth stops the background music that is playing and briefly holds back the next track. The effect is most noticeable with Minecraft's Frequent music setting, where tracks follow one another closely, and less noticeable with the Regular setting, which already leaves longer gaps. Rebirth's sounds play only when Instant Respawn is enabled, and nothing changes when it is disabled. The mod works in singleplayer and multiplayer. Fabric API is required. Only the client needs Rebirth for the sound, but a server can run it too, so either side works and neither is forced to install it; installing it on both is recommended for the full experience.
Key features
Cause-based death sounds
The rebirth sound is selected from the cause of death, so different deaths produce different reactions.
Three sound variations
Calm, darker and most disturbing variants cover the range from ordinary deaths to the most dramatic ones.
Music interruption
Background music stops at death and the next track is held back briefly, which is most audible with Frequent music.
Instant Respawn only
The custom sound plays only when Instant Respawn is enabled, and the default behavior is kept otherwise.

How it compares
Heartless Horizon Death Sound is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 – 26.2 that is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, so it runs without server installation. Keep XP on Death is a server-side only Fabric mod for 1.19.4 – 1.20.4 under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, and it changes the experience kept at death rather than the sound. Rebirth is MIT licensed but not open source in the catalog sense, and it targets 26.2 only.
