SlotRecall
by 3Dprinter3D
After a player dies, SlotRecall puts the dropped items back into the inventory slots they came from, so recovering gear takes less time.
What it does
Death normally scatters a player's belongings across the ground. SlotRecall records where each item sat before death and, when the dropped items are picked up again, moves them back to their original slots, including the hotbar, armor and offhand. It also remembers exact stack sizes, so a stack that was split on death returns in its earlier amounts, and it sorts items as they are collected.
When a recovered item's original slot is occupied by something else, SlotRecall moves the blocking item out of the way. Where a full inventory leaves no room, the mod can drop the blocking items to free the slot. A small timer in the top-right corner shows the five-minute recovery window, and it only counts down while the matching dropped items are loaded. The mod is a Fabric client mod: it is client-side only, so servers run without it and only the player who died needs it. Its files target 26.2 alone, published as 1.0.0 on 2026-09-01 under All rights reserved.
