Have you found yourself in this situation?

If so, I have the solution for you, introducing:

The Mochi Mode Mod

This mod does the following:

Only players with Mochi Mode enabled will have these abilities that will help them play Minecraft.
Allows admins to enable Mochi Mode for multiple players, so everyone can have fun playing Minecraft, even the newbies.
Upon taking damage that would have killed them, instead of dying, they get teleported to their bed or spawn. Upon teleportation, they are given speed and absorption for two minutes.
Items now have infinite durability for them. As the durability reaches 0, they will get a replenished tool with full durability. (We are not responsible for any apocalypse scenarios with this mechanic interacting with other mods.)
And much more to come in the future.

To give a player mochi status, do /mochimode toggle_mochi_status [player]
To see a player's mochi status, do /mochimode get_mochi_status [player]
If you are a mochi, you can activate and deactivate your powers at will using /mochimode activate and /mochimode deactivate

Note: I made this mod for my Girlfriend, so it's features only pertain to her wants and needs.
