Better Revive Mod transforms player death into a rescue opportunity with protected graves, recovery tools, and cooperative revive mechanics. When you take fatal damage from revivable causes, you drop into a downed state rather than seeing an instant game-over screen. Your inventory, armor, offhand items, and experience points remain safe inside a placed grave block while you wait for teammates to help. Friends can bring you back into the fight using special brewed potions or by passing a skill-based minigame.

Features:
- Downed State System: Enters a downed state upon death instead of forcing an immediate respawn, letting players observe nearby surroundings while waiting for rescue.
- Protected Graves: Stores equipment, main inventory, offhand slots, and experience points safely in a grave block without replacing occupied terrain.
- Life Pulse Minigame: Provides a manual revival option that tests reaction times by timing needle clicks inside target zones without needing potions.
- Adds three craftable tiers of splash Revive Potions that heal varying amounts of health and reduce recovery debuffs.
- Players can choose to skip waiting and respawn immediately while leaving their grave in the world for later recovery.
- Downed players must actively accept or decline incoming revive requests from specific helpers.
- Applies a configurable revive lock cooldown after successful revivals to prevent endless repeated saves.
- Includes a Grave Compass to track death locations across dimensions.
- Adds a Revive Scroll item to teleport directly back to distant grave sites.
- Unlocks public collection crates for everyone once grave protection timers run out.
- Full multiplayer support where downed states and graves survive server restarts.
