Death Back

中文版本

A simple Fabric mod that lets players teleport back to their death location with the /deathback command. It automatically finds a safe spot if the player died in lava, fire, cactus, void, or other dangerous places.

It can be installed on the server or client:

• Install on the server if you want all players to be able to use the command in multiplayer
• Install on the client for single-player functionality

Usage

1. Die in the game. Your death location is automatically recorded.
2. Use /deathback to teleport back to a safe location near where you died.

If the exact death location is unsafe (e.g., lava, fire, void), the mod will search nearby for a safe spot to place you.

Minecraft Versions

Development Version	Compatible Versions
1.20	1.20 - 1.20.6
1.21	1.21 - 1.21.1
1.21.2	1.21.2 - 1.21.8
1.21.9	1.21.9 - 1.21.11
26.1	26.1 - 26.2

Development

Environment

• Java 25 or higher
• (Optional) Java IDE with Manifold support (e.g., IntelliJ IDEA) * If using IntelliJ IDEA, the Manifold plugin should be installed

Switching Versions

Set minecraft_version in gradle.properties, or append -Pmc=x.x.x parameter to Gradle commands (e.g., ./gradlew build -Pmc=1.21) to switch Minecraft versions for development.

Note for IDE users:

After modifying gradle.properties or ./properties/*.properties, remember to reload the Gradle project (or click "Load Gradle Changes" button).

Cross-version Testing

To test mod compatibility with newer Minecraft versions:

• Method 1:

  • Set minecraft_version to target version, and configure matching test_fabric_api_version (e.g., 0.145.1+26.1)
  • Reload project to download dependencies (for IDE users)
  • Place additional test mods in ./run/mods
  • Run Gradle task runClient or runServer (May encounter unexpected launch issues - if this occurs, try Method 2)

• Method 2: Build JAR file and deploy to mods folder of the target Minecraft version client/server

Note:

The minecraft_version can be a version not explicitly listed in ./properties/*.properties files. The settings.gradle script will automatically select the nearest compatible properties configuration.

Build

Run one of the following commands to build the JAR:

# Build the JAR for the currently configured Minecraft version
./gradlew build  # Windows: .\gradlew build

# Build for a different Minecraft version, e.g.
./gradlew build -Pmc=1.21

To build JARs for all Minecraft versions defined in ./properties:

./gradlew buildAll  # Windows: .\gradlew buildAll

Note:

All compiled JARs are output to ./build/libs.
