Lenient Death

A server-side alternative to gravestone mods for Fabric and Quilt. Keep only specific items upon death with additional features for dropped items.

Main Features

All features are highly configurable and thoroughly documented both in the configuration file and the project wiki.

Enabled by Default:

• Selective Item Preservation - functions as a filtered version of /gamerule keepInventory
• Dropped Item Highlighting - helps you find your way back to the death location (recommended to increase entity view distance)
• Void Protection - items teleport to safe locations instead of despawning
• Automatic Item Return - items return to their original inventory slots
• Coordinate Logging - death coordinates displayed in chat
• Inventory Backup - allows administrators to restore inventories when needed

Available for Activation:

• Ready Configuration Presets - use /ld config presets command for quick setup
• Experience Preservation - can save some or all experience upon death
• Individual Settings - item and experience drop settings per player
• Extended Lifespan - items can last longer or indefinitely
• Additional Protection - immunity to fire, lava, explosions, and cacti

Preservation Criteria

The system supports multiple criteria for determining which items to preserve:

• Manual safe item list
• Filtering by item type
• Soulbound item system
• Optional random selection
