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
