Simple Hardcore Respawn
by Bles1
Simple Hardcore Respawn lets a player bring back a friend who has died in Hardcore mode, using a Totem Undying that has been renamed to the friend's nickname.
What it does
A Re-Spawner is crafted with the mod's recipe, then charged with magic items. Players who want to revive a teammate rename a Totem Undying to that player's nickname and place it in the Re-Spawner, which consumes the charge and restores the friend. The friend must be online in spectator mode for the respawn to take effect.
The server can set the gamerule respawnerUnbanning to true, which makes death ban players on the server. With the rule enabled, the Re-Spawner can unban a player by the given nickname, so a banned friend can be restored. The rule defaults to true. Setting it to false skips the charging step, so the Re-Spawner revives players without consuming magic items.
The mod requires Lore Link, which must be installed on the same loader. It runs on the client and the server together, so both sides need Simple Hardcore Respawn for the feature to work. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, for game versions 1.21.4 and 1.21.10, and the latest files are version 2.0.0 for 1.21.10, released 2026-06-21. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, though its source code is public.
Key features
Respawn other players
A Hardcore death can be undone by reviving the player with a renamed Totem Undying placed in a Re-Spawner.
Charged Re-Spawner
The Re-Spawner needs a charge from magic items before it can revive a player, and the charge is spent on each use.
Unban by nickname
With the respawnerUnbanning gamerule enabled, the Re-Spawner can lift a ban on a player who was banned after death.
Configurable charging
The respawnerUnbanning gamerule can be switched off to skip the charge, so the Re-Spawner revives players without magic items.
