FabricClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.8

What it does

Whenever the player dies, the mod plays the sound effect of Return by Death, the ability of Subaru from RE:ZERO. The cue is meant to give death a dramatic and unsettling tone, and it is the mod's only audible change. Players who lose a run in a hardcore world or fall in a dangerous cave will hear the same cue each time.

The mod is published for Fabric only, for game version 1.21.8, with the latest file 1.21.11 for 1.21.8 dated 2026-06-11. Fabric API is required. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and it works automatically with no configuration required. The code is under All rights reserved and the mod is not open source.
