Dying in Minecraft and losing your items is a demotivating occurance. While it's part of the survival game, many players will be dissapointed at losing the items they worked so hard for. Normally, when a player dies, their items are scattered around their area of death. These items will despawn within 5 minutes if they are in a loaded chunk and aren't picked up. And once the items despawn, they are gone forever. But the Corpse mod will solve that problem for you. With this mod installed, when a player dies, a corpse will be spawned at the area of death. This corpse has an inventory on it's own and you can open it by right clicking the corpse. The inventory contains all the items that the player had in his inventory when dying. This way you won't lose your items. After 1 hour, the corpse will turn into a skeleton, indicating that it existed for a longer time. This won't change the functionality of the corpse. Furthermore, you can see your death history and teleport to the area of death. You can view all your past deaths by pressing the 'U' key.
