Timesand
by flexibleqq
Timesand, a Forge mod by flexibleqq, reworks death into a permadeath system with canon lives based on the Eclipse lore.
What it does
Timesand changes what a death means. Deaths one and two play eerie cutscenes with randomly chosen voice lines, after which the clock turns back so the player can return to the fight. A Blood Moon event can be triggered by command, making deaths permanent for its duration, with cutscenes and loud music playing during it.
The mod suits hardcore roleplay servers, and the Eclipse server it was built for is the reference for its design. Server administrators control whether the cutscenes appear, set how many deaths are allowed, and choose the exact destination for exiled players after the third death, using gamerules or config files. The Constant Sand Clock item resets a player's death count, and it is obtained only through admin commands. The cutscene voice acting exists only in Russian.
Timesand is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1, with the latest file 2.0 dated 2026-03-16. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, and the mod is not open source.
