Why Better Death?

death

Better Death helps you quickly answer:

  • Where did I die?
  • What items did I have?
  • What actually killed me?

It gives you the information you need without removing the consequences of death.

Keep the Vanilla Feel

Minimaps, graves, and waypoint mods are great, but sometimes you just want a little extra information without changing how Minecraft feels.

No shortcuts. No clutter. Just clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Better Death: Aftermath need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Better Death: Aftermath as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Better Death: Aftermath require?

Use a file for fabric, neoforge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.11, 1.21.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Better Death: Aftermath is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
