I CTRL-ALT-DELTED it but the point is something in the file is there showing alive or dead only it hasn't been deciphered. I don't care about my inventory items as I can always pick those back up. Why else would just one file, the .dat, bring me back to life? Because something in that one file has a live or dead flag in it. Could be a bit pattern or a simple byte.
If you actually died I don't think there's anything you can do to resurrect yourself. You will respawn on the map, and then if you want, you can set your player coordinates to the place you died so you can collect your belongings.
Well, there is a way as I just did it but I had to do some funky stuff. Basically I copied the level.dat_old as level.dat and tried that and I came in where I died but was alive. All of my belongings were in my inventory and blown up around me so I had a full inv and another duplicate inventory around me. The time stamp was the same so I bet it was off by mere seconds as it wrote one before I died and one after I died when I laid there in a heap and I ended the task.
Now, what this shows me is there is a way of reviving yourself and it must be a magic entry some place inside the .dat that we don't know what is yet.
What do I modify to come back from the dead? I died when I touched lava and set myself on fire though I had time to run away a skele took advantage. I tried changing Health from 0 but I get a Minecraft crash when I do that.
