ReturnByDeath
Dying rewinds time to your last save when you exited the world
About this Mod
So, this mod makes it so when you die, you go back in time to the last place you were when you exited the world. That’s it, that’s the whole idea.
(+that "Whaaeeeuuuu" sound when enter world and respawn sound and you died)
Basically, the game only saves when you exit the world.
If you die, instead of respawning, the game reloads to that last save point.
Tip: If you make a new world, you should exit and rejoin immediately so the game saves, otherwise it might regenerate the world when you die.
I just made this mod for fun and didn’t really spend too much time on it. Haven’t run into any problems yet, but if you find something broken, feel free to report it.
Oh, and this mod is singleplayer only—it doesn’t work in multiplayer.
