Remains
Remains is a vanilla-friendly death chest mod designed to secure your inventory and experience points upon death. Instead of dropping items on the ground where they might despawn or be destroyed, this mod safely stores them inside a skull block at your death location.
Core Features
- Zero Dependencies: Extremely lightweight. It runs natively on the Fabric loader and does not require the Fabric API.
- Server-Side Only: Clients do not need to install this mod to join your server. All custom GUIs and mechanics are handled natively by the server, making it perfect for vanilla SMPs.
- Explosion Protection: The generated remains block is completely immune to explosions from creepers, TNT, and other sources, ensuring your hard-earned loot is never lost to environmental damage.
- Complete Experience Recovery: Not only does it save your items, but it also retains the exact amount of experience points you had at the time of death.
- Intuitive GUI System: Right-clicking the skull block opens a custom inventory screen. It includes dedicated buttons for one-click item and experience recovery. The system includes built-in safety checks that prevent recovery if your inventory is too full, avoiding accidental item deletion.
- Smart Void and Lava Safety: If you die in the void or lava, the mod automatically scans the surrounding area within a configurable radius to place the remains safely on a whitelisted block (like stone or dirt).
Commands (Admin Only)
The mod includes a fully data-driven command system with tab-completion for easy on-the-fly configuration:
/remains info- Displays the current configuration and whitelist status./remains reload- Hot-reloads configuration and localization files without requiring a server restart./remains config lang <language>- Switches the mod's language dynamically./remains config radius <value>- Sets the search radius for safe block placement upon death./remains whitelist <list|add|remove>- Manages the whitelist of blocks that are considered safe for placing the remains.
Localization
Built-in support for en_us (English) and zh_cn (Simplified Chinese). Custom languages can be easily integrated by dropping a localized JSON file into the config/remains/lang/ directory and switching to it via the in-game command.
