Re:Death
by dxvmxn
Re:Death replaces the usual game-over screen with a death rollback system, so a player who dies returns to an earlier checkpoint and keeps the record of what happened in between.
What it does
When a player dies, the mod restores a previous checkpoint that includes inventory, experience and location, instead of ending the run. Death is framed as a cost that carries forward: a curse can stack with each death, and an anti-abuse system limits attempts to exploit the rollback. The design draws on the roguelike idea of a story where each loss matters, and the mod is meant to be minimalist rather than adding a large set of new content.
Kotlin is required, and the mod runs on Fabric only. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Re:Death is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license and is not open source. Its only published build is 1.0.0 for 1.21.5, dated 2025-07-12, the same day the mod was first published and last updated.
Key features
Death rollback
Dying restores an earlier checkpoint with the player's inventory, experience and position as they were at that point.
Stackable death curse
Each death adds to a curse that accumulates over the course of a world, so repeated losses have a growing effect.
Anti-abuse system
Built-in checks limit how the rollback can be used, so players cannot simply reset a run after every mistake.
Diamond Apple
The mod adds a Diamond Apple item as part of its death-related progression.
Multiplayer support
Rollback and curse tracking work on servers, with each player's state handled separately.

What the author says
Re:Death is a minimalist but impactful mod inspired by Re:Zero and roguelike philosophy. It introduces a death rollback system — bringing you back to a previous checkpoint with your inventory, experience, and location intact. But every death comes at a cost. Forget "game over". Every death is part of the story now.
