Description
This mod makes several changes to ingame difficulty settings to align with what I personally want them to be.
There are several mods which can do most of this already, but I decided to make an all-inclusive and (most importantly) custom version to compile and personalize some changes for my server.

NOT COMPATIBLE with other mods which edit gameplay difficulty. (okay, it probably won't crash, but who knows what your actual difficulty is going to be)...

CHANGES:

Casual difficulty has become TRUE casual difficulty. Dying has no monetary consequence.

Survival has been made easier (or, rather, less annnoying), with the ability to beam up
anytime - BUT your pixel drop has increased to 33%.

Hardcore difficulty is unchanged (because it's meant to be painful, and I don't use it
anyways) (I'll be using Survival - because I've decided you need to know that for some reason)

SUMMARY OF CHANGES:
CASUAL:
- Pixel Loss Disabled

SURVIVAL:
- Underground Beam-Up Enabled
- Pixel Loss Increased 3% (0.3 -> 0.33)
- Item Drop Disabled

That is all. Thanks for downloading and I hope you enjoy the mod.

I have tested a couple other mods that prevent item drops and yours is the only one that works for me. I wish I could disable the teleport block, because for balance I would rather have a consumable I could craft instead. I wish I could increase the pixel loss even more as more compensation to the fact I don't lose anything on death. However, this is good enough because the big thing is I want to stop dropping items as it is the most annoying thing searching for where my stuff is under ground....Thanks for making one that actually works.:steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup:

Should be fixed now - thanks for bringing that to my attention!

Thanks for the report - I will have a look and see why that is happening.

does not actually seem to work for me, I still drop items and I get the error

Thank you! Actually it is not a race - it's one of the avian hairstyles from a mod I'm working on which is coming soon™ :)

Probably be done within the coming weeks... I hope. Spriting is hard... :SBchicken:

this mod is perfect, also, what is the race you're using in the image?

Perfect! Thank you for your input.

Makes sense ^^ Survival is selected by default so this is also the most convenient way to do this.

Ah, well, I turned off item drop too. Pretty much based survival difficulty off my playstyle - which is pretty much "casual with hunger".

So... I think what I might do is just turn casual hunger off - then casual is just pretty much sandbox difficulty - and survival is "casual with hunger" - cause im not even gonna use casual anyway - and it will be a stupid easy difficulty for someone if they want it

Aaand, if they want to they can use the "casual with hunger" mod to add hunger to casual if they desire.

Prolly the best solution.
