# \ud83e\udea6 Better Revive
\n### *A Complete Death & Revive System for Minecraft*<\/p>\n
**Better Revive** transforms death in Minecraft into a meaningful, recoverable event.
\nWhen you fall, your items don’t scatter into the void \u2014 they’re stored safely inside a **grave**.
\nYour friends can bring you back with **magical revive potions**, and a **mystical compass** will always guide you home.<\/p>\n
> \u2696\ufe0f **Built for SMP servers** \u2014 carefully balanced for **PvP**, teamwork, and fair recovery.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## \u2694\ufe0f Core Features<\/p>\n
### \ud83e\udea6 The Grave System
\nWhen you die, an **invisible grave** manifests at your death location \u2014 marked by your floating **player head** and a live **countdown timer**.<\/p>\n
– \ud83d\udd12 **Persistent First Grave** \u2014 your first grave is permanent until collected or destroyed.
\n– \u23f3 **Temporary Backup Grave** \u2014 if you die again mid-recovery, a second grave appears *only* during your death screen, allowing teammates to still revive you.
\n– \ud83c\udf92 **Full Inventory Storage** \u2014 armor, hotbar, offhand, everything.
\n– \ud83d\uddb1\ufe0f **Right-click to recover** all items instantly.
\n– \u26a0\ufe0f If the timer runs out \u2192 items drop publicly for anyone to grab.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
> ## \ud83d\udc80 Hardcore Mode Support
\n> Play Hardcore with your friends and get **one last chance**. Enter the **Downed State** when you die \u2014 if a teammate revives you in time, you survive.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udcdc Resurrection Scroll
\nA rare, magical scroll that **teleports you directly to your active grave**.<\/p>\n
> Perfect for escaping dangerous dimensions, deep caves, or lava-filled catastrophes.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udc8a Revive Potions \u2014 3 Tiers
\nBrew special potions and **revive fallen teammates straight from their death screen** \u2014 no respawn required.<\/p>\n
| Tier | Healing | Debuffs | Debuff Duration |
\n|——|———|———|—————–|
\n| **Revive Potion I** | \u2764 1 Heart | Slowness, Hunger, Weakness | 30s |
\n| **Revive Potion II** | \u2764\u2764\u2764 3 Hearts | Slowness, Hunger, Weakness | 15s |
\n| **Revive Potion III** | \u2764\u2764\u2764\u2764\u2764 5 Hearts | *None!* | \u2014 |<\/p>\n
#### How It Works
\n1. \ud83d\udc80 A player dies \u2192 their grave appears.
\n2. \ud83e\uddea A teammate **throws a Revive Potion** at the grave.
\n3. \ud83d\udda5\ufe0f The dead player sees **Accept** \/ **Decline** buttons on their death screen.
\n4. \u2705 **Accept** \u2192 teleported back with full inventory + tier-based debuffs.
\n5. \u274c **Decline** \u2192 normal respawn, grave stays intact for manual pickup.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
### \ud83e\udded The Grave Compass
\nAfter a normal respawn, you automatically receive a **Grave Compass** \u2014 enchanted with **Lodestone tracking**.<\/p>\n
– \u27a1\ufe0f Always points toward your grave.
\n– \ud83d\udccf Shows **direction + distance** in the action bar:
\n `\u2620 Grave: \u2b06 145m (Y: 64)`
\n– \ud83d\uddb1\ufe0f Right-click to open the **Grave Contents Screen** \u2014 preview every item inside.
\n– \ud83d\udca5 **Dissolve** your grave remotely \u2014 drop all items publicly for looters.
\n– \ud83c\udf0c Works **across dimensions** \u2014 displays *”Other Dimension”* if your grave is in the Nether or End.
\n– \ud83d\udd17 The compass **cannot be dropped** and is removed automatically when the grave is collected, dissolved, or expires.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udd25 Instant Death Mechanics
\nSome deaths are simply **unrecoverable** \u2014 no grave, no revive, no second chances.<\/p>\n
– \ud83c\udf0b **Lava Death** \u2192 instant permanent death, no grave spawns.
\n– \ud83d\udc80 **Void Death** \u2192 items are lost, no grave can be placed.<\/p>\n
> \u26a0\ufe0f This keeps high-risk zones *actually risky* \u2014 no cheesing lava lakes or the void with infinite revives.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
### \u23f1\ufe0f Revive Cooldown (Anti-Spam)
\nAfter being revived, a **Revive Lock** (default **60s**, configurable) prevents instant re-revives.<\/p>\n
– \ud83d\udd35 Lock timer shown in the **action bar** *and* on the **grave itself**.
\n– \ud83d\udeab Potions thrown during the lock notify both players with remaining time.<\/p>\n
