Losing a full inventory after death can derail a survival run, and Corpse Mod addresses that directly by leaving behind your corpse with your items stored inside. Instead of scattering gear on the ground, the mod lets you return to your body, recover your belongings, and continue with less guesswork. The corpse uses your skin, disappears after you collect the items, and if it is left for one hour, it turns into a skeleton while still keeping the inventory.
Key Features
- Keeps your inventory inside a corpse after death instead of dropping everything immediately.
- Makes item recovery more readable by giving you a clear body to return to and loot.
- Uses your player skin on the corpse for easy visual identification.
- Removes the corpse after you have collected the stored items.
- Changes the corpse into a skeleton after one hour if left unclaimed, while the items remain inside.
