Soulbound Component

by tnoctua

Soulbound Component lets players keep chosen items after death, filling the gap between full loot drops and keep-inventory rules.

FabricQuiltClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 onlyOpen source1.21.5 – 1.21.11

What it does

Items marked as soulbound stay in the player's inventory when the player dies, while other items drop as usual. On adventure maps, a designer can let death take some loot while protecting key items such as room keys or special equipment. The mod requires NModUtils, and Fabric API is needed as well. Client and server are both needed, and the code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, so the project is open source. Files target 1.21.5 – 1.21.11 and snapshot builds are published.

Key features

  1. Keeps marked items on death

    Items given the soulbound component are not dropped when the player dies.

  2. Partial loot loss

    Unmarked items still drop as normal, so death keeps a penalty without losing everything.

  3. Adventure map design

    Map makers can protect key items such as keys and quest equipment while leaving the rest at risk.

Questions

Does Soulbound Component need NModUtils?

Yes. NModUtils is a required dependency, so it must be installed next to Soulbound Component along with Fabric API.

Does the server need the mod?

Yes. Installation covers the server and each player's game.

What the author says

Soulbound was created to fill the gap between full loot and keep inventory. If you're making an adventure map and want players to drop some loot when they die, but not important items such as room keys or other equipment then this mod is for you! This mod requires NModUtils to function!
