The Bug
When you modify your attributes and then die, all attributes reset back to the default values.
How to reproduce
Change your max health attribute:
/attribute @s generic.max_health base set 10Die in any way
Respawn
Check your max health:
/attribute @s generic.max_health base get
-> ❌ Max health is 20 it should be 10
Expected behavior
The base values aren't changed back to default values on respawning, but kept as they were. Modifiers are only lost if the effect/item that grants said modifier is lost.
Notes
This is potentially also the cause for MC-181604. Considering returning from the end is for most part just respawning.

A small work around involves setting up a scoreboard command and some redstone-related geeks (I have already set that in place in my Hogwarts map, I'll release it Wednesday.) It's kinda hard to explain, but you could try something like for one command block.
Just warning you, cheats need to be enabled if you don't have them already...
But for now, here are the steps:
Steps to workaround:
Create scoreboard: /scoreboard objectives add deaths deathCount
One command block set to repeating and always active - do /execute if entity @a[scores={death=1..} in one.
Place a comparator with the subtract torch further away from the repeating command block. (Do this on three sides).
Place an impulse needs-redstone command block with the attribute command to reset the attribute command.
Place a second command block with immediate regeneration for a specified time, or perhaps instant health.
For the unused comaprator, place a few repeaters all set to max (no less than five), and place a command block to reset the deathCount score.
Seeing as this report has not been updated by the creator since it's creation (and has only created 1 other report in the last couple years, no other activity), and needs to be modified (affects all attributes, as already stated back in 2020!), I'd like to request ownership of this report.
Confirmed in 24w09a / 24w10a.
I tried "/attribute @s minecraft:generic.scale base set .25" you are now the 1/4 the size of normal players.
Died and size returns to default after death. would like not to have to type this every single time a player dies.
Probably a controversial opinion given that this was reported as a bug, but I actually kinda like this? It's a lot easier having all the attributes be removed on death, since removing all attributes on death requires all their UUIDs/original bases, rather than just needing their values to restore them after the player respawns.
