PlayerCorpse-Forked is a Vintage Story mod by sknnr. PlayerCorpse-Forked stores your carried items in a recoverable corpse and adds a compass for locating lost death inventories.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod suits players and server administrators who want death recovery to be more organized than scattered item drops. It is especially useful on dangerous journeys or large multiplayer maps.
What PlayerCorpse-Forked adds
On death, the contents of your hotbar, backpack, crafting grid, and cursor are placed into a corpse at the death location. Hold right-click on it for about a second to reclaim the items; anything that does not fit in your inventory falls nearby.
The corpse remains in the world through water landings and server restarts. For the first ten in-game days, only the dead player and administrators can retrieve it; afterward, other players can access it as well. Creative players can collect any corpse, while revival returns the stored items automatically.
The included corpse compass points toward the nearest body and displays its owner, distance, direction, and vertical offset. Right-clicking selects a target, while Shift plus right-click cycles through multiple corpses, including bodies in unloaded chunks.
Administrators can inspect recent death inventories with the returnthings commands and give one back to a player. Settings can control collection time, armor handling, corpse protection, retention of saved deaths, and whether the compass is available.
