Datapack Mortis

Mortis, configurable death system

Mortis is a Minecraft datapack for Java Edition that gives server owners precise control over what happens to items after a player dies. Instead of relying only on vanilla behavior, it adds configurable options for displaying a death marker, showing the last death coordinates, grouping dropped items, preventing despawn and item damage, removing item gravity, and restricting collection to the player who died.

It can also preserve items lost in the void and provide death statistics or coordinate information through triggers. Designed for a Minecraft server or singleplayer world, Mortis adds convenience without changing the wider survival experience. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for communities seeking a more readable and forgiving death system.
