Fallen

When you die, your stuff normally scatters across the ground and ticks down to nothing. Fallen keeps it together: your body stays where you fell — a corpse wearing your own skin, lying flat — holding everything you were carrying plus your experience. Walk back, right-click, and take your gear; everything returns to the slot it came from.

Requirements

Minecraft 26.2 or 26.1.2
Fabric with Fabric API
Install on both the client and the server — this is not a server-only mod.

Features

Your body, your skin — the corpse renders as you, matching your wide or slim model, lying where you died. The owner’s name is on the loot screen, not floating over the world.
Everything is kept — your whole inventory and your XP go into the body. Nothing scatters, nothing burns.
Items go back where they belong — reclaiming returns each item to its original slot (armor to armor, offhand to offhand). Sneak-right-click sweeps it all back at once.
Yours first — for a grace period only you (and operators) can loot your body; after that, anyone can.
It ages — left alone, a corpse eventually turns to a bare skeleton, a visual cue that it’s been there a while.
Nothing is ever lost — a body left far too long drops its contents instead of vanishing, and it won’t fall into the void or burn up in lava on its own (both configurable).

Death History (press U)

A built-in moderation and recovery tool. Every death is recorded permanently. A green check means the body is still out there; a red X means it’s gone. Open any record for a read-only snapshot of exactly what was carried at the moment of death — accurate even after the body was looted. Operators can review any player’s history.

Configuration

config/fallen.json:

Setting	Default	What it does
`ownerGraceMinutes`	120	How long the body is lootable only by its owner (and ops).
`despawnMinutes`	240	When the body despawns and drops its contents. 0 = never.
`skeletonMinutes`	60	When the corpse ages into a skeleton. 0 = never.
`keepExperience`	true	Store the player’s XP in the body and return it on retrieval.
`spawnOverVoid` / `spawnInLava`	true	Whether to place a body at a void/lava death (else items drop as vanilla).
`opsBypassProtection`	true	Operators can loot any body, ignoring the owner grace.
`deathHistorySize`	20	How many past deaths to keep per player.

Add-ons

Fallen: Backpacked — makes MrCrayfish’s Backpacked backpacks go into your corpse instead of dropping. It’s backed by a compatibility API, so other backpack/curio-style mods can add support too.
