Re:Mine - Return By Death
by Boratbenb28
Re:Mine - Return By Death replaces the usual death and respawn cycle with a time loop: when the anchor dies, the world rolls back to the last checkpoint.
What it does
The mod is a Forge hardcore mod for 1.20.1 inspired by the anime Re:Zero. Instead of respawning with lost items, the server or a single-player world sets save points, and one player at a time carries the Subaru role as the anchor. When that player dies, the entire world is rolled back to the last checkpoint, and the rollback is meant to add psychological pressure over repeated loops.
Witch's Scent is the main pressure system. The more a player dies, the stronger the Witch's Miasma smell becomes, and monsters begin to notice it from farther away and ignore other players. Low Sanity causes creepy phantoms and distorted sounds, and the player can lose spatial orientation. Each player also receives one random Divine Protection on first joining a world, and these permanent gifts can be used through the Z and X keys.
