I have keepinventory enabled on my server and it's awesome. Games are supposed to be fun, and losing all of your items is not very fun

[–] Live_your_lives@lemmy.world 70 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That's why I like to mod my games with a gravestone mod. Your items are safe but dying still costs you something.

It's funny when you die in the nether lava ocean and have to go on a sand excavation to get your stuff back.

[–] comrade19@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I like the sound of that. I think valheim nails it for balance so if its anything like that. We're playing bedrock edition.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Valheim actually sucks with how they handle death - you lose a very significant portion of your skills each time. It isn't a problem when you have 10 in woodcutting and it goes to 8, but at 100 and it going to 98 is a very huge deal that takes hours to get back.

[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Can't you change those multipliers when you create the world? Haven't played it on very long time so maybe I am confusing it with rimworld and the likes.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I usually just burn a few ender pearls making teleporting keys until I die outside of the lava lake.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago

I like the challenge. To me, games are more fun when sometimes they’re frustrating.

[–] Johanno 11 points 2 months ago

But losing is fun. Sometimes. I mean people play dark souls.

As I have already said:

I'm not Greg from gregtech lol. I just made the unfortunate mistake of not checking whether something with the name gregtech already exists when registering my domain name.

[–] Alk@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh my god it's greg from gregtech. I thought for sure you'd have keepinventory off.

[–] Alk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I kind of figured but it's such a meme in the GT community that I couldn't help myself lol.

[–] GreyCat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To me this removes the threat of exploring completely and makes it not fun.
There is literally no danger to doing anything and it's boring.

[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Depends on the person playing. I prefer keepinv and you don't

[–] GreyCat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I agree, that's why I said "To me" :)

[–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

I use graveyard mods for it, gives me at least a chance but lowers challenge some

[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 46 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Never trust a nether portal.

Sometimes, they can even spawn in the air.

[–] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago

They used to spawn a small obsidian platform if the portal happened to not spawn on solid ground

[–] noname_yet2077@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Hey, nice smasnug! But don't hold it upside down by the stand. Learned the hard way 😔🙏

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

Hey, nice smasnug!

It took me way longer than I want to admit to decipher this lol.

[–] Fortatech@gregtech.eu 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

turns my smasnug upside down, just to see... Oh yeah, don't do that.

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)
[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I would guess the screen separates from the stand, causing it to crash to the ground

[–] Fortatech@gregtech.eu 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 1 points 2 months ago

I did, what happens??

You guys are thoroughly confusing me

[–] 0laura@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

it's a Greg or be Gregged world these days...

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Basalt Deltas are the worst Nether biome.
When my portal spawned me right into one I did a 180 and made another portal

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

At least it wasn’t a long-standing hardcore world.

[–] NataliaTheDrowned2@fedia.io 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] comrade19@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Using it for the ray tracing but its too dark to play with it on haha

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I recommend taking a look at Iris. You can use it in combination with Sodium, Distant Horizons, and Complementary Shaders for to make Java edition really beautiful.

[–] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

also bedrock ray tracing isn't even made for actual play, it's only made for a few specially designed maps. people found how to move a folder from the map worlds file into a location in a normal world folder to make the world have RTX.

(most of) the shaders on Iris are MADE to play with so you won't encounter as many issues.

[–] style99@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Just wait till you decide to start collecting blaze rods or farming wither skele heads.
