Melidebby Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 If you die (I just did from a wolf) can you go back to the location and get your inventory? if you know where you died Or does death simply delete your inventory making you lose everything forever...

Gazz Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Depends on the settings you chose when starting the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it doesn't - at least not concerning the question at hand. You cannot choose a setting that deletes everything you carry. 7 hours ago, Melidebby said: If you die (I just did from a wolf) can you go back to the location and get your inventory? Yes, your inventory's contents will spill out onto the ground and remain there until you return to pick them up - or enough time passes for them to despawn. If you are really far away after respawning, the location of your death will be unloaded, and no time will pass there until you return. If you respawn close by, you should be able to make it in time. Of course, the wolf is likely to still be there... What Gazz meant is: you can configure the game to not drop your inventory on death. You will respawn with everything still on your person. If you want this, you have to either go into the custom settings when creating a world, or use an admin command in an existing world: /worldconfig deathPunishment keep After entering the command in the chat, you have to quit and reload the world for it to apply.

redram Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Also, the despawn time is 10 minutes. So if the chunk containing your loose items is loaded for over 10 minutes, the items will vanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now for a follow up, do you know how big a chunk is and how far from your death site must you be for it not to be loaded? (Or does that depend on my world settings?)

Streetwind Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 A chunk is 32x32 blocks. The loading distance is probably equal to your view distance, which you set in your video options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veil Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 Just died to a Drifter 20min. ago in my Cellar during a storm, I was able to retrieve all my other items, except my Longbow completely vanished! When I killed the Drifter, he did not drop my Bow either - only a Flax Fiber. Hopefully it's just a bug that can be fixed asap before it happens to anyone else!

Thorfinn Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 Welcome to the forums, @Veil That's really weird. Should not happen. Sure it didn't drop behind a storage vessel or something just outside your pickup range? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
