Respawn Timeout

Respawn Timeout

A Fabric mod for Minecraft that times out players when they die,
preventing them from immediately respawning.

Configuration

The mod is configurable via commands, since it operates on the server-side of the game.

Get Timeout

Returns the currently operating timeout setting.

Usage: /respawntimeout get

Set Fixed Timeout

Sets the specified amount of time as the timeout setting. Up to a maximum amount of 1 week for all time units.

Smaller time units can be used for a more specific control of time.

Using a fixed timeout overrides any previously configured random timeout.

Usage: /respawntimeout set fixed <amount> <seconds|minutes|hours|days>

Set Random Timeout

Sets a random timeout (in seconds) between a minimum and maximum value. Up to an overall maximum amount of 1 week.

Each time a player dies a new, random timeout will be assigned.

Using a random timeout overrides any previously configured fixed timeout.

Usage: /respawntimeout set random <min> <max>

Disable/Clear Timeout

Changes the timeout setting to 0, effectively disabling it.

Disables both fixed and random configurations.

Usage: /respawntimeout clear

Respawning

Once a player’s timeout finishes, they can respawn by executing this command.

A moderator level or higher user can force respawn a player with this command, bypassing the player’s timeout.

Usage: /respawntimeout respawn [player]

Note: The mod will automatically respawn returning players if their timeout has finished.

Version Information

Displays the currently running mod’s version.

Usage: /respawntimeout version

Disclaimer

Yes, this mod sounds like a terrible idea, but it’s part of a mechanic employed in a server that I own.
Additional requested functionality may not be added if it strays away from the core idea of the mod.

If you have any issues with the mod, or a feature request, please use the issue tracker.
