⚠️ Important Warnings
🔴 HARDCORE MODE: Death is not permanent by default. You will respawn after 30 seconds, but you'll lose your items — retrieve them from your corpse! (Corpse mod)
🟡 SERVER PLAY: Admins can adjust respawn delay or enable permanent death via config. Verify server rules before joining.
🟢 UPDATES: Always backup your world before updating. Review changelogs for breaking changes.
💀 Pro Tip: Keep a backup set of gear stored safely. Scarcity + Hardcore = Preparation is key.
