SimpleRewind

The mod gives players a second chance against lethal damage. When a hit would kill them, the game can automatically rewind them to a previous position, provided they have enough experience. Before the player returns, the world freezes and a short cinematic rewind plays. The mod then restores the player with 1 heart. Each use costs experience and starts a cooldown, and the rewind duration is configurable.

Protection on the server side is handled by server-side validation of experience costs and cooldowns, so clients cannot bypass them. A safe-position search runs before the teleport back, and dangerous positions are filtered out of the stored history. Optional anti-abuse rules can exclude void deaths, PvP and totem-saved deaths, and Echo Shard activation modes can be switched on. The configuration screen can be opened from a key that is unbound by default to avoid conflicts with existing controls, and the config file is created automatically. Using the rewind settings requires gamemaster permissions.

The mod is published for Fabric and Forge, with builds covering 26.1 – 26.1.2 and the latest files for 26.1.2. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. Mod Menu is an optional dependency; when installed, the same configuration screen is also reachable from its config button. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
