About this Mod
Exile Respawn
Death does not send you back home.
It sends you away.
Exile Respawn is a Minecraft mod that changes how respawning works.
When enabled, players respawn far away from their death location, regardless spawn points.
This behavior is controlled via a gamerule, allowing full flexibility for singleplayer and servers.
The mod is philosophically inspired by Better Than Wolves and Compassionate Hardcore.
What This Mod Does
When the Exile Respawn gamerule is enabled:
- Any player death causes a distant respawn
- The respawn location is:
- Far away from the previous position
- Chosen to avoid immediate lethal hazards (lava, void, fatal drops, etc.)
- This applies to:
- Survival
- Multiplayer servers
No items are preserved.
No teleportation back is provided.
You die — and you start somewhere else.
Gamerule
Exile Respawn is enabled by default.
Enable it with:
/gamerule exileRespawn true
