How to Enable Cheat Access to Use Death Backup Commands

Death Backup Mod saves your inventory to a file inside the world folder automatically upon death, even when cheats are turned off. However, receiving the chat reminder message and running the recovery commands both require cheat access.

Turning On Cheats Temporarily in Singleplayer

1. If you died in a survival world where cheats are disabled, your death inventory is already saved and waiting.

2. Press Escape to open the pause menu and select Open to LAN.

3. Switch Allow Cheats to ON, then click Start LAN World.

4. Open chat and run /deathbackup list to see the backups recorded before cheats were active, then run /deathbackup load <index> to restore your items. Saving and quitting to the title screen will turn cheats back off the next time you load the world.

Getting Access on a Multiplayer Server

1. On a server, every player's death inventory is saved automatically into folders separated by player name, but standard players cannot run the load command.

2. Have a server administrator grant your account operator permissions using the vanilla /op command.

3. Once you have cheat access, run /deathbackup to view the commands and load your saved gear. Leave operator permissions enabled if you want chat reminders on future deaths.
