Simple death ban
by Nanningaura
Simple death ban is a Fabric server mod that puts players under a timed death ban, and it adds commands for admins to manage the bans.
What it does
When a player is banned, dying during the ban counts as a death that the server punishes, and a five minute timer runs. Banned players cannot rejoin until the timer expires, and admins can unban a player by hand at any time. The death ban can be switched off so the timer stops applying. Simple death ban is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. It is released under the MIT License, is not open source, and is published for Fabric 1.21.11 in build 2, dated 2026-06-13.

Banned players die during the ban, and the ban lasts five minutes before it expires.

A banned player is kept off the server until the timer runs out.
Admin commands
Moderation commands let admins ban, unban and grant death ban immunity to selected players, and they are protected by permissions.
