    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

      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.

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

          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.

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

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

        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.

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

      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.

    Never trust a nether portal.

    Sometimes, they can even spawn in the air.

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

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

        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.

          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.

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