Soul Path
by Gvoper
After death, Soul Path replaces the respawn with a mini-game in which the player guides a soul through a labyrinth to earn back its life.
What it does
Soul Path changes what happens after death. Clicking Respawn opens a labyrinth in which the player must guide a soul to the exit, and resurrection is earned by completing the run rather than granted automatically. The mod works in any world, single-player or multiplayer, because it runs on the client alone.
Each attempt gives three lives. Losing a life regenerates the maze, so a failed run starts again with a new layout. The mod is aimed at players who find ordinary death a light consequence and want the end of a challenge to be a trial of its own. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved. Fabric API and Architectury API are required.
Key features
Labyrinth after death
Clicking Respawn after death opens a maze in which the soul must be guided to the exit.
Mouse-controlled aim
The soul is steered with the mouse, and a green dot marks the guide toward the exit.
Three lives per attempt
Each run allows three lives, and a lost life regenerates the maze layout.
Fading trail
A trailing effect leaves a path behind the dot, fading as the soul moves on.

How it compares
Lost Mazes is a client-side only mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.8, under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. The Soul is a client and server mod for Fabric on 1.21.1, released under the MIT License and open source, so it differs from Soul Path in both environment and openness.

What the author says
Death is no longer the end — it's a challenge. Soul Path changes the way you die. After every death, clicking "Respawn" opens a mini-game where you must guide your soul through a labyrinth to earn your way back to life. Think the game was too easy? Now, resurrection must be earned.
