Death Reset
A server-side Forge mod that forces your players to reset on death
About this Mod
Thought Hardcore was difficult? That's only the beginning.
Death Reset is a server-side Forge mod for Minecraft, meant to create a hardcore roguelike experience to SMP servers by resetting players on their death. This mod also works on Hardcore worlds reworking hardcore to respawn players at a fresh state. (Hardcore Reset)
The mod only needs to be added to the server.
PLEASE NOTE:
Adding this mod to your server means you understand that players will have their inventory, achievements, and stats reset upon death. Player created builds, chests (excluding ender chests), and the world is uneffected. This is intended to take the theme of "hardcore" from 0 to 100
