About this Mod
Death Soul
I liked the Soul-Link mechanic from Vanilla Refresh, but wanted it as a standalone version. This Data Pack does just that, plus a little extra.
When Death Comes
Upon death, you create a Soul
The Soul acts essentially as a "Gravestone", containing all of your items alongside Half of your Levels
The soul will go to Y:64 if you fall into the void
If you die in lava, the soul will go the the surface of it
Souls will last 15 Minutes before disappearing forever, so don't forget to collect your stuff!
Retrieval
Once you respawn, You will be given a Special Recovery Compass.
Upon collecting any soul, all special compasses will be removed from your inventory
Souls can however be collected by any Player, granting them a few Defensive buffs for 10 seconds, along with the stored Items and Levels

Server lagging with Death Soul – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Death Soul consumes the most tick time.
