dontdie
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

dontdie
The goal of this mod is clear, rewarding players that can live more, and punish those who resort to death as a means to an easy path.

- You will also receive random debuff effects (default: weakness, blindness, poison) with varying chances.
- It is highly configurable
- Native integration with the mod firstaid (it will avoid damaging vital body parts to death)
Planned Features
- Teleport close to death point (configurable)
- Item (or menu) for teleporting to the death point (configurable)
- Cumulative penalties for simultaneous deaths
- An effect received upon multiple sequential deaths that will mark the player, and have some "dire consequences"
- Random buffs for players that are surviving for long enough
- An effect for players that survive well with rewards
- World events that will reward players that are good survivors
Configurations
You can configure the dontdie-common.toml file. It will have all the options and comments explaining what each thing do, and the format is quite intuitive.
