Open the chat and look for the death message
Check your coordinates before respawning if they were shown
Use the death coordinates from the chat if you noted them
Return to the last place you died using those coordinates
If you have keepInventory off and died in lava, fire, or void, search the nearby area carefully
Use a map, compass, or landmarks to retrace your path
On Java Edition, use the `/gamerule showDeathMessages true` command if available
On Bedrock Edition, use the world’s death location if your version or server supports it
If you have cheats enabled, use `/tp` to go to your last known death coordinates
If you are on a server, ask an admin if death coordinates are logged or shown by a plugin
If you use mods or addons, check whether they track death points
Place a marker or sign at the death spot once you find it
