How to Find Your Death Coordinates and Recover Dropped Items

Death Finder Mod works automatically as soon as you load into a world, requiring no special items, crafting recipes, or commands to track where you died.

Reading the Death Screen

When your character dies, pause before clicking the Respawn button. The mod displays your exact death position directly on the death screen. If you want a permanent record outside of your chat history, press F2 right away to save a screenshot before respawning.

Navigating Back Using Chat Details

Once you respawn, press T to open the chat window and read your death message. Instead of only stating how you died, the message includes three navigation details:

  • Exact Coordinates: The X, Y, and Z position where your items dropped.
  • Dimension: Which dimension the death occurred in, so you know immediately whether to travel to the Nether, the End, or stay in the Overworld.
  • Current Distance: How far away you currently are from the death point.

To walk back manually, press F3 to open the standard debug overlay, check your live coordinates, and head toward the numbers recorded in chat. Because your message log stays accessible whenever you press T, you can recheck the exact height and dimension at any point during the trip back.
