Player Death Reworked

This project will no longer receive updates and has been split into two separate data packs: Nice Death Tweaks and Nice Keep Inventory.

About This Mod

Player Death Reworked completely overhauls the death system in Minecraft. When you die, you now keep only part of your inventory, lose maximum health, and receive updated death messages.

Main Features

Upon death, only certain equipment is preserved - armor, tools, and special items. Everything else drops to the ground.

The death message system has been completely updated. Added 50 unique phrases that respectfully pay tribute to fallen players.

After respawning, you receive information with the coordinates of your death location and your current death counter.

Each death reduces your maximum health by 1 heart, but no more than 5 hearts total. Health can be restored using enchanted golden apples or every morning.

Sleeping now provides regeneration and saturation effects.

Added a new crafting recipe for enchanted golden apples.

Dropped items have special particles.

When a player dies, they leave behind their head, with the description showing the number of days lived.

The player list displays a counter of days without deaths.

Upon death, you lose 30% of your current experience level (values are rounded down).

Installation and Configuration

Simply place the data pack in your world's data packs folder. No additional actions are required - everything works immediately after installation.

If you're using other mods or data packs that add new items, they need to be added to the appropriate tag lists in the \data\minecraft\tags\items folder. There are two JSON files there for droppable and non-droppable items.
