Soul Tether
by TheWarior73
Soul Tether is a Fabric magic mod that moves a player's inventory to a safe place when they die, using tethers and a Soul Chest block.
What it does
A Soul Tether is crafted and placed as a multi-tier item. Its tiers are described by the author as the core of the mod, and a Soul Chest is crafted by placing a chest and right-clicking it with a tether. The chest then holds items that are moved out of a player's inventory on death, so most of the gear is saved after a death. The author notes that the mod was partially developed with AI and gives reasons for that choice, which the author explains in the text.
The server and every player need the mod installed. It works with the Mod Menu configuration screen. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 26.2, under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license, which is not open source. Source code and an issue tracker are public.

Use cases
Keeping gear after death
Players who lose their inventory often can have items returned from the Soul Chest rather than recovering them from the death location.
Who it’s for: Players of survival worlds on Fabric who want a protected store for items after death, and server owners who want the same behavior for every player.
How it compares
Soul Tether is a Fabric mod for 26.2 released under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license. Death Item Chest is also a client and server mod, published for Fabric and NeoForge for 26.1.2 under the MIT License, so it covers a different version. Antiragebait is client-side only and licensed under the MIT License, for 26.1.2 – 26.2, so players can add it without any server install.
