Death occurs when the player's health reaches zero. When a player dies, a Tombstone is placed at their location.
With the Standard character type, the player will respawn at their spawn point after a few seconds. The Tombstone contains the contents of their inventory, except equipment and the hotbar row. Additionally, the durability of equipped armor will be reduced by 15%.
With the Hardcore character type, death is permanent; the player does not respawn. The Tombstone contains the contents of their inventory, except equipment. Exiting the world will delete their character file. In multiplayer, if there are other players alive they can be spectated by pressing Toggle spectated player.
