Tithe
by StapleTT
Tithe replaces Hardcore permadeath with a tribute system in which dead players wait in limbo and living players pay to bring them back.
What it does
When a player dies in a Hardcore world, Tithe leaves that player as a spectator until the living pay tribute to revive them. The price rises each time, and a quest journal drops where the player fell, listing the exact amount owed. The quest journal cannot be lost to fire or destruction, and the countdown timer keeps every player moving toward the goal.
The mod requires Hardcore and turns it on by itself, so the world is set to hard whatever difficulty was chosen before install. Tithe runs on client and server; the server handles the mechanics while the client supplies item textures and shows messages in chat. A client without the mod sees raw translation keys instead of readable text. The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.11 – 26.2, under a Creative Commons non-commercial license with no derivatives.
Key features
Death debt
Death is no longer permanent. A fallen player owes a debt that others can settle through tribute.
Tiered tribute pools
Treasure is pulled from tiered loot pools, and each tribute gets more remote as the price climbs.
Primal Embers
Primal Embers come from mobs the player kills personally, and they feed the crafting chain used for tribute.
Four-rung crafting chain
Crafting runs in four rungs, each one feeding the next, so progress has to be built step by step.

You're four hundred blocks from base, deep in a ravine you had no business entering, and your friend just took one hit too many... In Hardcore, that's it. They're done. The world moves on without them, they log off, and nobody can do anything about it... And now somebody can, because this mod turns that death into a…
