Repawn Book
by pixcapsoft
Repawn Book is a Fabric mod that gives the player a book with the coordinates of their last death once they respawn.
What it does
After a death, the mod writes the position of that death into a book and hands it to the player on respawn, so the location can be checked without running back across the map. It can also print the death location in chat instead of filling the inventory, which fits worlds where the keep inventory rule is enabled. Players who lose items are pointed to where they fell, which reduces the chance of losing gear for good and encourages a bit of exploration on the way back.
The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it and servers run without it. Files are published for Fabric and cover 26.1 – 26.1.2, with 5.0-MC26.1.2 for 26.1.2 as the latest build. The code is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source. Source code and an issue tracker are linked publicly.
