Summary

Respawn Penalty is a server-side Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.8 that adds persistent death penalties to discourage reckless gameplay and repeated suicide-respawn abuse.

Players who repeatedly die within a short time window receive escalating penalties such as reduced max health, reduced food level, Weakness, Slowness, Mining Fatigue, and temporary sleep-recovery locks. The system is designed to increase survival tension without creating permanent death spirals.

The mod includes persistent multiplayer-safe UUID tracking, server restart persistence using Minecraft PersistentState, passive recovery over time, and anti-exploit behavior that prevents players from instantly resetting penalties through repeated sleep cycles.

Penalty System

When a non-creative, non-spectator player dies and respawns:

Death streak increases only when deaths happen within 10 minutes.

Penalties cap at 10 max health and 6 food to avoid permanent death spirals.

Recovery

A player recovers when either condition happens:

• Successfully sleeps while sleep recovery is not locked
• Survives online for 20 minutes

Repeated intentional deaths temporarily lock sleep recovery:

Survival recovery still works during the lock period.

This prevents:

die -> sleep -> reset -> die

abuse loops without permanently trapping players.

Recovery restores:

• Original max-health base value
• Normal recovery state
• Cleared penalty effects

Anti-Exploit Guarantees

• Respawn cannot fully restore normal health/food

• Logout/relog keeps active penalty state

• Server restart preserves:

  • death streak
  • active penalties
  • recovery lock

• Multiplayer state is isolated per UUID

• Creative and spectator players are ignored

• Penalty persistence survives crashes and restarts through world PersistentState

Note: Death streak only increases if deaths happen within the configured streak window.
