HardcoreDeath

Summary

You have one life. All save files from the character you are playing will be deleted upon death.

• You can enable and disable the mod in the configs. This is important in case you switch to a character you do not wish to get deleted upon death!
• There is an option in the configs to determine if the backup files should also be deleted. By default, the backup files are deleted.
• There is also an option in the configs to delete the world upon death. Disabled by default. Should not work in multi-player.
• There is yet another option in the configs to escape death when receiving a last blow, which can only be triggered once in a while.... and yes, it has been fully tested but use it at your own risk.

Release notes

v1.5.0

• Updated for full compatibility with Valheim 1.0!
• Merciful Death cooldown is now configurable as a range instead of a fixed value.

v1.4.1

• Merciful Death now triggers only on overwhelming damage, preventing one-shots for healthy players while remaining faithful to the one-life, high-risk design.

v1.4.0

• If merciful death is enabled, upon triggering it, the player will be invulnerable for a total of 2 seconds (configurable). This is to prevent the player from getting an almost immediate second hit while staggered, making the mechanism useless in certain situations.

• Updated to work with the latest version of the game.

v1.3.2

• Merciful Death will remove negative status effects such as burning or poison.

v1.3.1

• Minor change to default values.
