Description

# Lenient Death A server-sided alternative to gravestone mods, for Fabric & Quilt. Keep only certain items, and other features relating to dropped items. ![A GIF showing a player dying and keeping their armour and tools, but not ores](https://i.imgur.com/dVXWpMb.gif) ![An example of the item glow up close](https://i.imgur.com/Ps0mbnO.png) ## Features All features are highly configurable and well documented both in the config file and the [wiki](https://github.com/JackFred2/LenientDeath/wiki). ### Enabled by Default: - Preserve only some items on death - think of it as a _filtered_ `/gamerule keepInventory`. - Multiple criteria, including a manual safe list, by item type, ad-hoc soulbound system, and optionally by pure chance. - For more details, see [the wiki page](https://github.com/JackFred2/LenientDeath/wiki/Preserve-Items-on-Death). - Inspired by Starbound's death system. - Give dropped items a glowing outline, helping you find your way back. Recommended to increase your Entity View Distance! - Void Immunity for items - they will be teleported to a safe place instead of despawning. - Automatic moving of your items to their original slots - Logging of your coordinates at death in chat - Saving of inventories upon death, and allowing admins to restore them if needed ### Disabled by Default: - Several config presets to get you started - use `/ld config presets`. See [the wiki page](https://github.com/JackFred2/LenientDeath/wiki#presets) - Preserve some or all of your experience on death. - Item & XP drops can work on a per-player basis too - see [the wiki page on Per-Player mode](https://github.com/JackFred2/LenientDeath/wiki/Per-Player) - Give items an extended (or infinite!) lifespan, putting less pressure on players. - Add immunities to your items for fire, lava, explosions and cacti. ## Supported Versions Currently targeting 1.21.1, 1.20.6, 1.20.4, 1.20.2, 1.20.1, and 1.19.4. ## Configuration You can either edit `config/lenientdeath.json5`, or use the in-game `/ld config` command. For more information, see the [wiki](https://github.com/JackFred2/LenientDeath/wiki). ## Requirements - [Fabric API](https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api) Bundles [Fabric Permissions API](https://github.com/lucko/fabric-permissions-api), [Server Translation API](https://github.com/NucleoidMC/Server-Translations), and several [JackFredLib](https://github.com/JackFred2/JackFredLib) modules. ### For 0.x versions These versions are unsupported but should still work. - [Fabric API](https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api) - [Cloth Config](https://modrinth.com/mod/cloth-config)
