Simple Killbind
Simple Killbind lets a player set a delay after which the player is killed automatically, with the kill triggered by a customizable key.
What it does
Pressing the killbind starts a countdown. The default delay is 3 seconds, and the delay can be set anywhere from 1 to 600 seconds. Pressing the killbind again during the countdown cancels it, and an optional confirmation step can require a second press within 3 seconds before the countdown starts.
The mod is meant for players who want a self-kill key without enabling cheats or holding operator permissions, which vanilla Minecraft normally requires for this. It works in singleplayer and in multiplayer, and both the client and the server need the mod installed. Current settings can be shown from within the game.
Installation needs Fabric API. The mod is published for Fabric only, with one build for 1.20.1, version 2.0.0, released on 2026-07-31. The code is licensed under CC0 1.0 Universal, so the mod is not open source in the usual sense.
