Death Logger

💡 Inspired by DeathLog by glisco03 — not a fork. DeathLogger is written from scratch: its own storage format, networking, GUI and multiloader build, with no code carried over.

An advanced death history mod. Keeps track of your deaths, restores inventory layouts, and saves coordinates. Essential for any survival world.

✨ Features

• 🎒 Inventory Preview — Full inventory snapshot at the moment of death, including armor and offhand
• 📍 Death Coordinates — Exact location with dimension info for easy navigation back
• 🔍 Searchable History — Filter deaths by time, death message, or location
• 🔄 Inventory Restoration — Restore items via GUI
• 📦 Container Preview — View contents of Shulker Boxes and Bundles
• 📸 Death Screenshots — A screenshot is captured at the moment of death and shown with the entry
• 📋 Copy as Command — Middle-click an item to copy a /give for it, enchantments and container contents included
• 🖥️ Server Support — Dedicated servers keep their own logs, with /deathlogger commands to inspect and restore them

📸 Screenshots

Forge builds are published for 26.1.2 only. Forge has no recommended build for 26.1 or 26.1.1, and those versions fail to start regardless of which mods are installed.

Requirements

• Fabric — Fabric Loader and Fabric API
• NeoForge — nothing beyond the loader
• Forge — nothing beyond the loader
• Java 25, which is what Minecraft 26.1+ ships with

Optional integrations

• Better Statistics Screen — adds a DeathLogger entry to its menu bar, next to File, View and About. Fabric and NeoForge only; there is no Forge build of it.
• Mod Menu — settings reachable from the mod list on Fabric. NeoForge and Forge use their built-in mod list for the same thing.

⌨️ Usage

• Open from the Statistics screen, or bind a key in Controls (unbound by default)
• Select a death on the left to see its details on the right
• Restore returns the inventory and experience; Delete removes the entry
• Middle-click an item to copy a /give command for it to the clipboard
• Settings opens the screenshot and death-detection options

⚙️ Configuration

config/deathlogger.json, or the Settings button in the mod's own screen.

Option	Default	What it does
screenshotsEnabled	true	Capture a screenshot at the moment of death
useLegacyDeathDetection	false	Record a death when health hits zero, for servers that never send a death message. No effect in singleplayer, and can produce false positives.

🖥️ Server commands

Operators only:

• /deathlogger list <player> [search] — print a player's recorded deaths
• /deathlogger view <player> — open that player's log in your own GUI
• /deathlogger restore <player> <index|latest> — restore a recorded inventory

🔨 Building

./gradlew build

Jars land in fabric/build/libs, neoforge/build/libs and forge/build/libs. The target Minecraft version and every dependency version live in gradle.properties. common holds the loader-agnostic code; each loader module only carries its own entry points and networking.
