Hardcore Death Location Spectator improves the death experience on Minecraft hardcore servers.
Normally, after dying in hardcore mode, selecting Spectate World sends the player to the world spawn. This plugin removes the death screen and immediately respawns the player in spectator mode at the exact location where they died.
The player’s position, world, camera direction, yaw, and pitch are preserved.
