How to Recover Items From an Older Death

If you try to retrieve your dropped items manually and die a second or third time along the way, your latest death record will only contain whatever empty inventory or spare gear you carried on that failed rescue run. You can use the mod's history command to skip recent empty deaths and recover your original items.

Viewing Your Recent Death List

1. Make sure you have cheat access enabled in your singleplayer world or multiplayer server.

2. Open the chat bar, type /deathbackup list, and press Enter.

3. Read the output in chat, which displays a list of your recent deaths alongside their index numbers. Index 0 is always your latest death, while higher numbers correspond to earlier deaths.

Restoring a Specific Index

1. Find the index number that matches the earlier death where you still had your main gear.

2. Type /deathbackup load <index> in chat, replacing <index> with that number, and press Enter.

3. Double-check the number before submitting—typing a missing or invalid entry will produce an incorrect command argument error in chat instead of loading your items. Once entered properly, your chosen backup will load onto your character.
