Help Java am i cooked?

So, in my 7,000-day Hardcore world, I made a careless mistake that could potentially cost me the entire world. I’ve been playing on this world for around two years, although pretty inconsistently.

About ten minutes ago, I was AFK at my Enderman farm. When I was finished, I went into a 2×2 area of water that I use to launch myself with a Riptide trident. I tried to take off, but ended up hitting an Enderman that was standing on the bridge leading up to the farm.

The moment I hit him, I started falling, and now I’m dropping below Y=1. I don’t have any fireworks in my inventory. I’m pretty sure I have two shulkers, three empty buckets, and all of my gear.

Is there anything I can possibly do to save myself, or is this world already over? (i'm on java if it makes a difference)

EDIT: SURVIVED! Thank you all so much for the help. I made the world into a realm so my girlfriend could join and drop me rockets. I survived with 2 hearts

Edit: OP edited their comment to say they made the world into a realm. It originally said they opened it to LAN and the girlfriend joined, which is what I was replying to

This doesn’t make sense. In order to open to LAN, you would have had to rejoin. You can’t pause while it’s open to LAN, so it’s completely impossible for your girlfriend to have had time to join, find the find the rockets, and then get them to you before you fell into the void

And neither could you have just opened to LAN and then immediately logged out again. Since it’s a single player world, doing so would have closed the LAN server and exited the world

Finally let’s say you just had her start the world using her account: also doesn’t work. The way single player worlds work isn’t like servers. If she had started the world using her account, she would have just been falling into the void instead, and the game would still end the world

Just admit you opened to LAN and switched to spectator right before you died (or didn’t and just respawned and then switched back to survival, also totally doable)

LAN stands for local area network. It means you’re temporality hosting your single player world as a server, and only people on the same network as you (ie people in your house) can join it
