There is no way, unless you install mods.

There are admin commands that can give his XP back but you need admin powers to do it. If you're hosting you should be able to.

you can install necroforge even after you've created a game and use that to boost his new guy's skills up to whatever they were before but there is no way I know of to revive a dead character.

I used this to workaround also a stupid mistake in single player mode (bad pause)
With this, you recover your character, all skills, statistics and even equipment (if not destroyed on your dead)


Find the save game, where you are dead, backup it and prepare to change it (with the game closed, of course)
If linux, use sqlite3 to edit the player.db, if windows, you will have to find and install a sqlite client:
$ cd Save/mygame/(date)/
$ sqlite3 players.db
sqlite> select * from localPlayers;
sqlite> update localPlayers set isDead=0 where id=1;
sqlite> .q
If the dead was not something more permanent (infected, zombies, fire) you should be ok, if you are still in danger, even after being alive again, then install cheatmenu rebirth
enter the game, choose load your save game, press "more" and enable cheat menu: rebirth and press play
when the game loads, right click and on the screen and quickly press F2 to pause. the menu should be open but the game paused. You can then choose god mode (that should heal you too). If not enough, quickly press F2, right click and F2 again to gain access to the menu and choose ghost, noclip and if needed, fly mode (and press up, go float above any danger)
I needed to use the right click and "move to" other place, as the keys didn't work, but after that i could move again and recover any junk lost (if possible, fire will destroy things)

You may need several attempts to manage to save your character if a very dangerous position

After rescuing your character, disable all cheats, save the game and backup your now rescued game. you can disable the cheat menu rebirth now, so you don't feel tempted to abuse it, as the game loses the fun if you start to use for other things (the game is hard and require permanent care)

I tested this in single player, do not know in multiplayer how this will work, but probably about the same if you control the server.

Skill Journal mod. Lets you transcribe a journal that you construct to record your skills. You can set what %age of skills you get back in the options. Too late for him this time, but it can be used next time.

Could you maybe tell me how to open those files with sqlite? I know where my savegame is but I can only open the players file with notepad++, java and some other things. couldn't find anything on youtube so asking is my last option rn. (Also, when I opened the players file with notepad++ I changed the isDead boolean to isDead 0. I even replaced the boolean with some other parameters, but nothing seemed to work so I think I have to use sqlite, only problem is, I don't know how to use it. So I would appreciate every help I can get.

Don't know if you still need this, but you can use this program to open the player.db file https://sqlitebrowser.org/ and change the value in the browse data tab in the collum isdead

Why "select * from localPlayers;" ?
That step seems unnecessary if all you want to do is an update.

I downloaded SQLite, but I can't find out how to actually locate and change the isDead value. How would I do this?

You can revive them by waiting, but they then want to eat your skin off
