Core Systems

Smart Death & Recovery

Death is punishing, but not unfair.

When a player dies, their inventory can be stored in a special Death Ender Chest at or near the death location.

The player can use a Death Compass to find their way back. Death recovery is meant to be tense and dangerous, not impossible.

Features include:

• Death Ender Chest item recovery
• Death Compass navigation
• Temporary chest protection
• Distance-based protection scaling
• Recovery pressure after respawn
• Configurable death system behavior

Energy & Stamina

Energy represents the player's physical condition.

Many actions can consume energy, including movement, mining, crafting, combat movement, and survival actions.

Energy affects how safely and efficiently a player can survive.

Features include:

• Energy HUD with configurable position
• Sprint energy drain
• Dodge energy cost
• Mining energy cost
• Crafting energy cost
• Passive regeneration
• Food-based recovery
• Sleeping recovery
• Exhaustion and fatigue behavior
• Emergency recovery items

If the player runs out of energy, certain actions may become limited until they recover.

True Darkness System

Darkness is not cosmetic.

In Eroded World, dark caves and unsafe areas can become dangerous even if the player tries to rely on brightness settings.

Players are expected to use light sources, prepare before exploring, and avoid entering deep darkness without supplies.

Features include:

• Client-side darkness overlay
• Heartbeat tension feedback
• Dangerous dark areas
• Light-based survival pressure
• Mob reactions to light
• Light Eater behavior in dangerous territory
• Warding Lamp support

Light is not decoration.
Light is survival.

Territory & Ecosystem

The world remembers what players do.

Mining, pollution, and environmental pressure can increase local threat. As threat rises, the world becomes more dangerous.

Features include:

• Regional threat tracking
• Mining pressure
• Ecosystem degradation
• Ecosystem recovery
• Cave collapse risk
• Territory-based mob danger
• Mutated mob titles and buffs
• Spawn protection support

Careless mining and repeated disturbance can make an area unsafe over time.

Mining & Cave Collapse

The underground is unstable.

Mining too much in one area can increase collapse risk, especially deep underground.

Features include:

• Mining score tracking
• Configurable collapse thresholds
• Collapse cooldowns
• Stabilizer block checks
• Underground collapse limits
• Possible hostile mob events during collapses

Players are encouraged to support tunnels, light mining areas, and avoid careless deep mining.

Crafting & Quality

Crafting is connected to energy and progression.

Items can have quality tiers, and crafting can consume energy depending on recipe difficulty and materials.

Features include:

• Crafting energy cost
• Crafting Growth progression
• Recipe difficulty multipliers
• Poor, Standard, and Excellent quality tiers
• Durability modifiers
• Repair behavior modifiers
• Quality preview and debug support

Better preparation and progression can lead to better results.

Eroded Loot System

Loot is controlled, configurable, and progression-friendly.

Special containers can receive Eroded loot based on server configuration.

Features include:

• Configurable loot chance
• Configurable maximum items per chest
• Custom loot entries
• Registry ID based item configuration
• Admin loot containers
• Support for survival supplies, tools, armor, materials, and rare rewards

Server owners can make loot more generous, more punishing, or more progression-focused.

Combat & Movement

Movement has a cost.

Sprinting and dodging can consume energy, making combat and exploration more tactical.

Features include:

• Sprint energy drain
• Dodge mechanic
• Dodge cooldown
• Dodge distance configuration
• Sideways and backward dodge options
• Energy-based movement limits

Running away from danger is possible, but not free.

Spawn Protection

Spawn can be protected from griefing and unsafe events.

Features include:

• Configurable spawn protection radius
• Block breaking prevention
• Block placing prevention
• Explosion prevention
• Piston movement protection
• Creative and operator bypass options
