Respawn Delay (Legacy Fabric)
This modification is primarily designed for Minecraft multiplayer servers. It works perfectly for PvP arenas and various gaming events where controlled player respawning is required.
Main Functionality
Upon death, the player automatically switches to spectator mode instead of instantly respawning. In this state, they can freely fly around the map and observe the ongoing action. After a time specified in the settings, automatic respawning occurs. The system informs the spectating player about the time until respawn using regular countdown messages.
Compatibility
The mod works together with gravestone modifications. To prevent item duplication, it is recommended to disable the dropItemsOnDeath option in the configuration.
