Requiem - Rethinking Death in Minecraft

Requiem is a modification for Minecraft Java Edition that fundamentally changes the approach to in-game death. In the standard version of the game, death represents a break in gameplay: you lose all items and find yourself in a respawn point selection menu. Requiem eliminates this menu, turning death into a full-fledged gameplay element with unique mechanics.

Who is this mod for?

This mod is perfect for:

• Explorers who want to travel long distances without having to return to the respawn point after death
• Roleplayers wanting to take on the role of the undead - avoiding sunlight, endlessly wandering ocean depths, or hunting other creatures
• Multiplayer gamers, where both the standard death system and the Requiem system can coexist simultaneously depending on each participant's preferences

Interaction with other mods

Compatibility:

• Origins: choice between mortal and demon is made through the Origins selection screen

Frequently asked questions

Why are mob drops worse when possessing? Your prey was killed by a mob, not by a player. To improve the situation, you can find a "Humanity" enchantment book in a Nether fortress.

Why is the mod made on Fabric? We consider Fabric a more convenient platform for such a project. We don't plan to port the mod to Forge ourselves, but we welcome help from the community.

Why doesn't the mod launch? You might have forgotten to install Fabric API, or the Requiem version doesn't support your Minecraft version. In the latter case, you can politely inform us about it in the comments.
