About this project

What does Death Chronicle add?

Tired of losing your gear and forgetting where you died? Death Chronicle is your personal afterlife logbook.

Every time you die, this mystical tome automatically records:
• Exact coordinates (X, Y, Z)
• Which dimension you perished in (Overworld, Nether, or End)
• Real-world timestamp of your demise
• In-game time for reference

The book is soulbound—it stays in your inventory even after death, ensuring you never lose track of your death history.

HOW TO USE:

  1. The book appears in your inventory when you first join a world
  2. Die (hopefully not too often!)
  3. Right-click the book to see your death history in chat
  4. Use the coordinates to find your lost items

FEATURES:
✓ Automatic death recording—no commands needed
✓ Soulbound—stays with you through death and respawn
✓ Multi-dimension support—works in Overworld, Nether, and End
✓ Persistent data—deaths saved between sessions
✓ No configuration needed—works out of the box
✓ Server-compatible—works on multiplayer

PERFECT FOR:
• Hardcore players who need to recover gear quickly
• Explorers venturing into dangerous dimensions
• Players who die a lot and need to track their... learning curve
• Anyone who's ever said "where did I die again?"

No new blocks, no crafting recipes, no complicated setup—just pure utility that integrates seamlessly with vanilla Minecraft.

Requires Forge 1.20.1 on both client and server.
