NOW COMPATABLE WITH EPIC FIGHT :D

What the mod is:

compatibility & cleanup mod for Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 that prevents and repairs:

  • Hardcore Revival “downed player” clones
  • Corpse / gravestone mod interactions
  • Curios / cosmetic armor inventory duplication
  • player‑clone memory leaks
  • old worlds already affected by clone loops

It acts like a garbage collector for broken player copies, keeping servers stable and stopping ATL (AllTheLeaks)‑style leak spam.

What problem it solves:

Some modpacks that include:

  • Hardcore Revival
  • Corpse / gravestones
  • Curios API
  • Cosmetic Armor Reworked

can end up creating extra hidden player entities (“clones”) during death/revival flows.
Those clones sometimes:

  • stay loaded in the world
  • keep capabilities attached
  • are tracked in memory forever
  • cause memory leaks / performance drops
  • confuse grave/totem/revival logic

This mod detects and removes those lingering clones safely.

How it works:

Prevents new clone leaks

It watches key Forge events:

  • entity joining world
  • player cloning
  • player logout
  • server ticking

and when a revival clone is detected, it:

  • marks it with internal tags
  • blocks duplicate capability attachment
  • discards abandoned clones
  • cleans tracking on respawn or logout

This stops new memory leaks forming.

We will also work on porting to other versions if requested
