Versions
A simple quality-of-life mod that gives you a clear way back to your stuff. When you respawn, you automatically receive a Death Compass that points exactly to your last death location — less frustration, without feeling like a cheat.
Install on the server. Client installation is optional (vanilla clients can use it). Works in singleplayer — just drop it into your mods folder.
Dependencies: Fabric & NeoForge require Architectury API (and Fabric API on Fabric). Forge requires no additional dependencies.
Free to use in any modpack — public or private, no permission needed.
What it does
- Compass on Respawn — if you have a recorded death location, a lodestone-targeted Death Compass is placed in your inventory when you respawn.
- Points to Your Loot — guides you straight back to where you died.
- Vanilla Feel — uses familiar compass mechanics; spins randomly if you are in a different dimension than the death, like a normal compass.
- Full Inventory — if your inventory is full, the compass drops at your feet.
Configuration
Zero configuration — no config file, no recipes, no commands, no keybinds. Install it and it runs whenever a player dies.
Details
- Server-side grant — the server gives the compass; nothing has to be installed on the client for multiplayer.
- Fully translated into 10 languages: English, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, and Italian.
- No builds for Minecraft 26.1 (Fabric & NeoForge). 26.1.2 remains — for other 26.1.x builds stay on 1.0.0, or move to 26.2 / 26.3.

[1.1.0] DeathCompass 1.1.0
by Nikrecs on Sep 18, 2026
Download
### 1.1.0
Forge 1.19.2 was already part of 1.0.0 and is not new here.
- Fixed**
- Compass display name now uses the translation key (
item.deathcompass.death_compass) so it shows in the player's language - In 1.0.0 most targets hardcoded the Russian literal «Компас Смерти», so the shipped language files were unused (Forge 1.19.2 was already correct)
- Loaders / versions**
- Added: Fabric 1.19.2, Forge 1.21.1, Forge 1.21.11, Fabric 26.2, NeoForge 26.2, Fabric 26.3, NeoForge 26.3
- Dropped: Minecraft 26.1 (Fabric & NeoForge). **26.1.2** remains
- Architectury API is now required on Fabric and NeoForge (Forge jars do not use it)
- Fabric API is declared on every Fabric jar
- Unchanged**
- On respawn, if a death location exists, you get a lodestone-targeted compass (including across dimensions); if the inventory is full it drops at your feet
- Same 10 languages, same strings; no config, recipes, commands, or keybinds
- Still BOTH-side (server grants the compass)
