About this project

What does Server Side Corpses add?

A fully server-side rewrite of the ideas in my client+server mod Fallen

When you die, your items don't scatter and despawn. Your body stays where you fell — a corpse wearing your skin — holding everything you were carrying plus your XP. Walk back and right-click to reclaim it.

The whole mod runs on the server. Players connect with completely vanilla clients — nothing to install client-side. Drop it in your Fabric server's mods folder and every player gets corpses, whether they mod their client or not.

Features

Death leaves a lootable corpse instead of loose, despawning item drops (respects the keepInventory gamerule).
The corpse is rendered with the dead player's actual skin, lying where they fell.
The body falls and settles on the ground, floats on lava and water pools, and is held just inside the world over the void — loot is never destroyed.
Right-click opens the corpse as a chest: armor, offhand, inventory and hotbar laid out in their own slots. Take-only — nothing can be put in.
Sneak-right-click returns everything to its original inventory slots, plus your stored XP. A full inventory never spills loot.
Owner-locked: for a configurable time only the owner (and ops) can loot a body; afterwards anyone can. Left too long, it drops its contents so nothing is ever truly lost.
/deathhistory lists your recent deaths (ops can inspect other players).

How does it work with vanilla clients?

The visible body is a packet-level fake player in the sleeping pose carrying the dead player's real skin; the clickable hitbox is a pair of invisible vanilla interaction entities; the loot screen is a plain vanilla chest menu that only the server knows maps back to your inventory.

Config (config/ssc.json)

enabled — master switch (false = vanilla deaths)
despawnMinutes (default 2880) — minutes before the corpse despawns and drops its loot, 0 = never
keepExperience (default true) — store and return the player's XP
opsBypassProtection (default true) — operators can loot any corpse
spawnInLava / spawnOverVoid (default true) — whether hazard deaths still form a floated / void-held corpse
voidScanDepth (default 12) — how far down to scan before a spot counts as "over the void"
skeletonMinutes (default 1440) — minutes before a corpse unlocks for everyone, 0 = never
skeletonStageIsPublic (default true) — aged corpses may be looted by anyone
deathHistorySize (default 20) — deaths kept per player for /deathhistory

Requires Fabric API. Works in singleplayer too (it runs on the integrated server).
