Death Backup (Legacy Fabric)

💾 Creates back-ups of player inventories before death, which can be loaded via commands.

Requires the library mod Collective (Fabric) and the Fabric API.



     This mod is part of The Vanilla Experience.
Death Backup is a mod which saves the inventory of a player right before their death to a file in the world folder. If a player has cheat-access, they can reload the inventory via the '/deathbackup load <index>' command. '/deathbackup list' shows all the latest deaths with indices which can be retrieved. The inventories are saved in a folder with the players' name, so it works in server environments as well as singleplayer.


Configurable: ( how do I configure? )
sendBackupReminderMessageToThoseWithAccessOnDeath (default = true): When enabled, sends a message to a player when they die and have cheat-access that a backup has been created and can be loaded.
backupReminderMessage (default = "A backup of your inventory before your death has been created and can be loaded with '/deathbackup load 0'."): The message sent to players with cheat-access when 'sendBackupReminderMessageToThoseWithAccessOnDeath' is enabled.


Commands:
/deathbackup - Shows the commands available.
/deathbackup list - Shows a list of the latest death with indices.
/deathbackup load <index> - Loads the death backup specified by <index> in '/deathbackup list'. Index 0 is always the latest death.


Images:
Whenever a player dies, their inventory and gear is saved to './world-folder/data/deathbackup/time.txt'. By default a message is sent to the player with a reminder if they have cheat-access, but this can be disabled in the config.


With the command '/deathbackup list' all recent death backups can be seen. Index 0 is always the latest.


Using the '/deathbackup load 0' command to load the latest inventory prior to the latest death.


Another example with items with NBT tags such as enchantments and written books:


The last inventory is loaded without problems by doing '/deathbackup load 0'.
