Second Chance

(Forge) is a port of zoeytheegoist's Fabric mod of the same name.

Inspired by the titular ability from Kingdom Hearts, If you have 7 or more hearts of health, damage that would have originally killed you in one hit will now leave you with half a heart! This allows you a chance to react to what would have been a lethal blow! (You'll know by the sound cue that plays.)

In the spirit of fairness, this feature will not kick in when suffering fall damage, crushing damage or void damage.

It's designed as a sort of hidden accessibility feature that benefits everybody. It's not very fair to get one-shot by a Creeper if you can't hear them sneak up on you, right?

Additionally, this port introduces a new feature: Coyote Time! Inspired by the mechanic from Celeste of the same name, Coyote Time allows you to jump mid-air the moment after you've fallen off of a ledge! This gives you a chance to correct your mistake if you've slipped off for whatever reason.

Config Options

  • Whether the Second Chance mechanic is enabled
  • Whether the Coyote Time mechanic is enabled
  • How long you can mid-air jump after falling off a ledge
  • How much health will remain when you get a Second Chance
  • How many hearts you need for a Second Chance to kick in
  • Whether or not the sound will play when it activates

You can follow the original creator of the mod on Twitter: @Astrazoey. The mod was ported by HellionGames!

Model and animation of the logo was created by nekomaster1000, inspired by the original logo created by Shock Micro.

With Millida Launcher

  1. Install Millida Launcher

    The launcher opens and installs the mod for Minecraft 1.19–1.21.1 on Forge or NeoForge automatically.

  3. Launch the game

    A profile with it appears in the launcher: click “Play”.

Manually

  1. Install Forge or NeoForge

    The loader must match the game version of the mod file, for example Minecraft 1.21.1. After installing it, a separate profile appears in your launcher.

  2. Download the file for your version

    In the version list above, pick the file secondchanceforge-1.21.1-1.5.1.jar (23 KB) for your game version and loader.

  3. Put it in the mods folder

    The folder is inside .minecraft (Windows: %appdata%\.minecraft\mods). If it does not exist, create it.

  4. Launch the loader profile

    Open “Mods” in the main menu: Second Chance (Forge) should be in the list.

Minecraft 1.21.1 runs on Java 21: with a different Java version the game may close right after launch.
