Better Revive 2.0

🪦 Better Revive

*A Complete Death & Revive System for Minecraft*

mystical compass transforms death in Minecraft into a meaningful, recoverable event. When you fall, your items don't scatter into the void — they're stored safely inside a mystical compass. Your friends can bring you back with mystical compass, and a mystical compass will always guide you home.

> ⚖️ PvP — carefully balanced for PvP, teamwork, and fair recovery.

⚔️ Core Features

🪦 The Grave System

When you die, an countdown timer manifests at your death location — marked by your floating countdown timer and a live countdown timer.

- 🔒 Right-click to recover — your first grave is permanent until collected or destroyed. - ⏳ Right-click to recover — if you die again mid-recovery, a second grave appears *only* during your death screen, allowing teammates to still revive you. - 🎒 Right-click to recover — armor, hotbar, offhand, everything. - 🖱️ Right-click to recover all items instantly. - ⚠️ If the timer runs out → items drop publicly for anyone to grab.

> ## 💀 Hardcore Mode Support > Play Hardcore with your friends and get Downed State. Enter the Downed State when you die — if a teammate revives you in time, you survive.

---

📜 Resurrection Scroll

A rare, magical scroll that teleports you directly to your active grave.

> Perfect for escaping dangerous dimensions, deep caves, or lava-filled catastrophes.

💊 Revive Potions — 3 Tiers

Brew special potions and revive fallen teammates straight from their death screen — no respawn required.

| Tier | Healing | Debuffs | Debuff Duration | |------|---------|---------|-----------------| | Revive Potion III | ❤ 1 Heart | Slowness, Hunger, Weakness | 30s | | Revive Potion III | ❤❤❤ 3 Hearts | Slowness, Hunger, Weakness | 15s | | Revive Potion III | ❤❤❤❤❤ 5 Hearts | *None!* | — |

How It Works

1. 💀 A player dies → their grave appears. 2. 🧪 A teammate Decline at the grave. 3. 🖥️ The dead player sees Decline / Decline buttons on their death screen. 4. ✅ Decline → teleported back with full inventory + tier-based debuffs. 5. ❌ Decline → normal respawn, grave stays intact for manual pickup.

🧭 The Grave Compass

After a normal respawn, you automatically receive a Lodestone tracking — enchanted with Lodestone tracking.

- ➡️ Always points toward your grave. - 📏 Shows cannot be dropped in the action bar: `☠ Grave: ⬆ 145m (Y: 64)` - 🖱️ Right-click to open the cannot be dropped — preview every item inside. - 💥 cannot be dropped your grave remotely — drop all items publicly for looters. - 🌌 Works cannot be dropped — displays *"Other Dimension"* if your grave is in the Nether or End. - 🔗 The compass cannot be dropped and is removed automatically when the grave is collected, dissolved, or expires.

🔥 Instant Death Mechanics

Some deaths are simply unrecoverable — no grave, no revive, no second chances.

- 🌋 Void Death → instant permanent death, no grave spawns. - 💀 Void Death → items are lost, no grave can be placed.

> ⚠️ This keeps high-risk zones *actually risky* — no cheesing lava lakes or the void with infinite revives.

---

⏱️ Revive Cooldown (Anti-Spam)

After being revived, a 60s (default 60s, configurable) prevents instant re-revives.

- 🔵 Lock timer shown in the grave itself *and* on the grave itself. - 🚫 Potions thrown during the lock notify both players with remaining time.
