Softcore Death
This mod changes the way dying works. When you die and you are within a customizable radius of your current bed, your tombstone will drop normally. However, if you exceed the radius and die, you will keep your inventory and hotbar. Skill loss is unaffected by this mod.
The aim of this mod is to encourage long distance exploration, without the risk of what can be permadeath if you forget to place a new shelter and bed.
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
