Silkbound
Your loot, wrapped in silk instead of scattered in the dirt.
A small mod that turns a spider's cocoon into your safety net. Carry one, and the moment you die your whole inventory is wrapped into a single silk cocoon right where you fell - instead of spraying across the floor to burn, sink, or despawn. And to keep you stocked, Silkbound threads the caves with a brand-new structure: spider nests.
Based on the concept art by Frencore.
How the cocoon saves your stuff
- Carry it anywhere in your inventory. Hotbar, backpack - doesn't matter. If a cocoon is on you when you die, it triggers.
- Everything is sealed - items, armor, offhand - inside one cocoon block placed at the spot you died.
- One cocoon per death. It's consumed to do the wrapping, so bring spares on long trips.
- The filled cocoon glows, so you can spot your "grave" from across a dark cave.
- Break it to get it all back - the cocoon spills its contents when destroyed.
Think of it as a tombstone made of silk: your loot waits in one tidy, glowing block instead of a scattered pile on the ground.
Spider nests - a new underground structure
Cocoons come from spider nests, carved into the caves of every Overworld biome:
- Irregular silk-and-cobble chambers deep underground, strung with cobwebs and hanging strands, littered with bones and old prey.
- Four flavours, from cramped little dens to sprawling nests - including a rare silverfish-infested variant for the brave.
- Inhabited by cave spiders (spawners inside), so clearing one is a real fight.
- Natural cocoons line the walls, some in tight egg-sac clusters.
- Each nest tunnels itself to the nearest cave, so they're part of the world, not sealed bubbles.
Getting cocoons
- Mine a nest cocoon with Silk Touch to collect the cocoon block itself - that's the one you carry as your safety net.
- Without Silk Touch, an empty cocoon just gives a little string or the odd spider eye.
What it won't save
- Some deaths leave no grave: the void, drowning, suffocating in a wall, and explosions all drop your items the vanilla way.
- The cocoon needs a solid surface to anchor to within a couple of blocks of where you died - fall to your death over a big open drop and there may be nowhere to hang it.
- The cocoon can still be destroyed (and will spill your loot) - it protects against scatter and despawn, not against a creeper dancing on your grave.

- Fabric API
- Fabric Language Kotlin
- Required on both client and server
Supported versions: 1.20.6, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2
FAQ
I died and my stuff scattered - no cocoon? Either you weren't carrying a cocoon, there was no solid surface nearby to anchor it to, or it was one of the excluded deaths (void / drowning / wall / explosion).
How do I open the cocoon? Just break it - your items pop straight back out.
Can I build with them? Yes - empty cocoons place like any block (and glow once filled), so your nests and bases can get properly creepy.
Where's the cocoon in creative? It's in the Functional tab.
