Corpsebound

Corpsebound alpha-0.1.1

Compared with alpha-0.1.0, this update greatly expands corpse interaction, inventory management, burial, and optional mod compatibility.

Added

• Added server-authoritative corpse carrying.
• With both hands empty, use Ctrl + Right Click to pick up a corpse. While carrying, use Right Click to put it down.
• Added synchronized two-handed carry poses for first person, third person, and other players.
• Added dedicated carry compatibility for Epic Fight and FirstPerson Model.
• Added corpse burial on shovel-mineable blocks.
• Each shovel action lowers the corpse by 0.2 blocks, uses the correct block particles and sound, and has a 0.8-second cooldown.
• Fully buried corpses immediately stop rendering and simulating.
• After 60 minutes by default, buried corpses become lightweight grave records while preserving their loot. Grave remains may include bones, bone meal, and a skeleton skull.
• Added a dedicated corpse inventory with separate general-loot, armor, main-hand, off-hand, and Curios sections.
• Added built-in optional Curios 5.x compatibility.
• Added Epic Fight death takeover, allowing Corpsebound’s ragdoll physics to replace Epic Fight’s visible death animations.

Changed

• Carrying now reduces movement speed to 36% of normal speed, and sprinting is disabled.
• Carried corpses remain centered between the player’s raised hands.
• The server now searches for a safe whole-body position when placing a corpse down.
• General loot is randomized only once when death drops are finalized.
• Empty inventory spaces are mixed between items instead of always appearing at the end.
• Adding items, removing items, reopening the corpse, or restarting the world no longer rearranges existing loot.
• Corpse storage dynamically displays between one and six general-loot rows.
• Removing armor or held equipment immediately updates the corpse’s visible appearance.
• Fully buried bodies retain surface lighting while sinking, preventing the corpse and equipment from turning black.

Fixed

• Fixed corpses sometimes being impossible to pick up again after being placed down once.
• Fixed carried bodies being blocked, separated, or trapped by nearby blocks.
• Fixed duplicate first-person arms when carrying with FirstPerson Model or Epic Fight.
• Fixed the carrying pose disappearing while looking directly upward or downward.
• Fixed block, entity, item, attack, and pick-block interactions leaking through while carrying.
• Fixed corpse inventories being reshuffled whenever their contents changed.
• Fixed equipment ownership and duplication conflicts when other mods rewrite or cancel death-drop events.
• Fixed Curios items being captured before Curios completed its final keep, destroy, Soulbound, or Vanishing Curse rules.
• Fixed incorrect armor-slot item types and stack sizes.
• Fixed a corpse’s own player head appearing inside its inventory. Detached player heads remain obtainable only by interacting with the severed head itself.

Important upgrade notes

• The multiplayer protocol changed from 13 to 17. Servers and every connecting client must use alpha-0.1.1.
• Existing server configuration files retain their saved values. Set corpseCarrying.movementSpeedMultiplier = 0.36 to use the new carrying-speed default in existing worlds.
• Curios and Epic Fight remain optional dependencies.
• Corpse Curios Compat is no longer required because Corpsebound includes its own Curios integration.
• Collectible detached player heads must be picked up before their corpse can be buried.
• Do not enable another corpse or gravestone mod that captures the same death drops unless explicit compatibility is provided.
