A Minecraft 1.16 datapack to allow player revival, but at a doubling cost per revival.


I created this datapack as I wanted to play Hardcore with a group,
but still have a way to recover members who died early, so nobody gets
abandoned.

The way this currently works is the required price -- in diamonds, by
default -- is doubled per death, initially at a cost of 2.
This ensures the cost is attainable as you improve, while still making
it quite punishing at any level. I intend to make a teams/factions based version in the future.

I have also created the resurrection animation shown in the video and images. This was done partially with the technique shown in this video.

Usage

To trigger a revive, be holding at least the required number of diamonds and run /trigger resurrect

To reset the cost, delete the scoreboard nqh_values
There are also cases to deal with having no-one to resurrect or not having enough diamonds. The block of choice can be changed by replacing diamonds in the datapack. To change the base cost and multiplier change the nqh_values scoreboard.
