Stat Tinkerer

by Terrails

Stat Tinkerer lets a server owner decide which player stats survive death, and changes how hunger, thirst, temperature and experience behave afterward.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.13.2 – 26.2

What it does

The mod keeps selected stats through a death, including experience points, hunger level, saturation, thirst level, hydration and temperature, each controlled from a config file. Its optional features can prevent eating or respawning with low hunger, apply an Appetite status effect, and set a lowest or highest value for health. Maximum health can be reduced after each death, so a player starts with less and can be turned into a spectator after enough deaths, which also suits hardcore play.

The mod is a client and server mod: the server and every player need it. It requires Fabric API, and Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) or Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL) on Quilt. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.13.2 – 26.2 across 33 release versions, and the source is under the MIT License, so it is open source.

The author recommends reading the full feature list before editing the config file, since the options interact. The source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Retained experience

    Experience points can be kept after death, and a setting controls whether a player drops them.

  2. Retained hunger and saturation

    Hunger level and saturation can be kept after death, and a setting can allow a respawn only with hunger at full.

  3. Retained thirst, hydration and temperature

    Thirst, hydration and temperature can each be kept after death, with temperature held between two set levels.

  4. Appetite effect and eating block

    Eating can be prevented while the Appetite status effect is active, and respawning can be blocked until a reasonable value is reached.

  5. Health limits

    Maximum and minimum health values can be set, and maximum health can drop after deaths down to spectator mode.
