A death mechanic mod that stores dropped items in a player-skinned corpse instead of scattering them on the ground. Corpses persist across server restarts and display the player's armor.
Dying in Hytale normally scatters your items across the ground. Death Corpses changes this by storing your dropped items inside a corpse that looks like your character, making item recovery much easier.
What Does This Mod Do?
When you die and drop items, instead of seeing them scattered around, a corpse spawns at your death location. This corpse uses your player skin and displays the armor you were wearing. Simply interact with it to open an inventory and retrieve your belongings.
Key Features
- Player-skinned corpses — The body looks like your character
- Armor display — Shows what you were wearing at death
- Held item visible — Displays the item you had equipped
- Dynamic inventory — Corpse inventory adjusts to actual item count (no empty slots)
- Persistent storage — Survives server restarts and logouts
- Skin retention — Keeps your skin even when you’re offline
Server Compatibility
This mod respects your server’s item drop configuration:
| Drop Setting | Behavior |
|---|---|
| 100% drop | All items go in corpse |
| 50% drop | Half your items in corpse |
| 20% drop | 20% of items in corpse |
The corpse only contains what you were supposed to drop according to server rules.
Corpse Behavior
- Corpse spawns only if you dropped items
- Corpse disappears when its inventory is emptied
- Skins persist even if the player leaves the server

- Servers wanting cleaner death mechanics
