About Softcore Death
From ThunderstoreRetain your items on death if you are far enough away from home.
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.
