DeathLedger

Stop losing your stuff to the void. Literally.

You died. Again. The death screen flashed, you clicked respawn, and now you're staring at your bed with no idea which direction your items are—was it northeast? Past that weird acacia tree? Or was that the other death?

Vanilla Minecraft throws away your death coordinates the moment you click. Mods that add gravestones change gameplay. DeathLedger just fixes the information gap.

What It Actually Does

  • Remembers where you died — Every death is logged with exact coordinates, dimension, and timestamp
  • Shows what you lost — Snapshot of your inventory at moment of death (so you know if it was worth the trip back)
  • One-click copy — Click coordinates to copy to clipboard, paste into chat or your group's Discord
  • Works everywhere — Pure client-side. Use it on vanilla servers, realms, or modpacks without asking permission

The Ledger

Press K (rebindable) to open your death history. Each entry shows:

  • When you died (real-world timestamp, because "five minutes ago" is useless when you tabbed out)
  • Where (Overworld/Nether/End icons + exact XYZ)
  • Why (death message, truncated if you got combo'd by a modded boss with a paragraph-long kill feed)
  • What you dropped (hover for full inventory breakdown)

Right-click an entry to delete it, copy coords, or set your compass target. Entries are saved per-server/world, so your singleplayer "learning creative mode" deaths don't pollute your hardcore server history.

Why Not Just Use a Gravestone Mod?

Gravestones protect your items. DeathLedger protects your sanity. Sometimes you die in lava and there's nothing to recover. Sometimes you're on a server that banned gravestone mods for "balance." Sometimes you just want to know if that death was 200 blocks away or 2,000 without doing trigonometry in the F3 screen.

This mod doesn't touch gameplay. It just stops you from alt-tabbing to Notion to write down coordinates like it's 2011.

Configurable (If You Care)

  • Max history per world (default 100, FIFO eviction)
  • Toggle inventory snapshots (disable if you're paranoid about file size)
  • Clear-on-disconnect for streamers who don't want death meta visible
  • Ignore list for servers where you definitely don't care

Requires: Fabric API (client-side only)
Works with: Minecraft 1.21.1, probably newer if you're lucky
License: MIT (do whatever, just don't sue me when you forget to copy coords anyway)
