Dreambound

# 🌙 Dreambound **A balanced KeepInventory alternative where beds act as true checkpoints - respawn with your saved gear intact, dropping only the new loot you gathered on your run.** Are you tired of the zero-stakes gameplay of `keepInventory`, but frustrated by the punishing setbacks of vanilla death drops? Dreambound bridges the gap by turning Minecraft into a soft extraction survival experience. *Note: Dreambound is **100% Server-Side**. Your players do not need to install this mod on their clients to play! Works with singleplayer as well.* **Multiplayer:** everyone who is in a bed when the night is skipped gets their own checkpoint, whatever `playersSleepingPercentage` is set to: you do not have to be the player who triggered the skip. ## How It Works Dreambound changes how players approach exploration and risk: 1. **The Checkpoint:** When you successfully sleep in a bed (or bind your spawn to a charged Respawn Anchor), Dreambound takes a hidden "snapshot" of your exact inventory and experience level. 2. **The Adventure:** Go explore, mine, and fight knowing your core loadout is safe. 3. **The Nightmare:** If you die, your world state rolls back to the snapshot. You will wake up in your bed holding the exact gear you had when you went to sleep. 4. **The Leftovers:** Any new loot, blocks, or items you picked up *after* your snapshot will be dropped at your death coordinate for you to go retrieve. ## Balanced & Exploit-Free Dreambound isn't a blind rollback, it uses strict state-intersection math to ensure players cannot duplicate items or get free repairs. * **No Item Duplication:** If you sleep holding a Diamond Block, place it in the world, and then die, you will wake up with 0 Diamond Blocks. You only keep what you didn't consume. * **No Free Repairs:** Wear and tear is permanent. If you sleep with a brand-new sword and heavily damage it during your adventure before dying, you will wake up with that same damaged sword. * **XP Rollbacks:** You will respawn with the exact XP you had when you slept. Any extra XP you gained during the run is dropped at your death location. * **Containers Too:** A shulker box or bundle comes back holding what it held in the dream and still held at death. Fill it after sleeping and the extras drop; empty it into a chest and you get an empty box back, never a duplicate. ## Mod Compatibility Detected automatically, no setup needed. All unaffiliated. * **(https://modrinth.com/mod/universal-graves)** - Your dream gear stays in your inventory while newly gathered loot is packed into a grave, and the grave compass comes back with you on respawn. * **(https://modrinth.com/mod/trinkets-updated)** - Trinket slots follow the same rules as your inventory: snapshot trinkets return to their exact slots, forfeited ones drop at your death location. * **(https://modrinth.com/mod/ohmega)** - Accessory slots likewise. Forfeited accessories are handed to Ohmega to drop, so its own `keepAccessories` setting still decides their fate. Both 1.5.x and the 1.6.0 betas work. ## Commands * `/dreambound preview` - Lists exactly what your dream is holding, so you can see what is safe before heading out. * `/dreambound status` - A one-line summary of your snapshot, plus the server's current settings. * `/dreambound preview <player>` / `status <player>` - *(Requires OP)* The same, for someone else. * `/dreambound clear <player>` - *(Requires OP)* Wipes a player's dream state. * `/dreambound reload` - *(Requires OP)* Reloads the configuration file without a restart. ## Configurable `dreambound.properties` lets you tweak: * Enable/Disable bed or respawn anchor snapshots individually. * Allow a daytime checkpoint: right-click the bed your spawn is set to and re-save without sleeping, so players are not stuck waiting for dusk after gearing up. Off by default. * Toggle XP restoration, or set an "Experience Loss Percentage" (e.g., lose 10% of your saved XP on death as a penalty). * Toggle container-aware matching, which lets a shulker box or bundle come back when its contents changed instead of being forfeited whole. * Toggle player chat notifications so players know exactly when their dream state is saved or restored. * Enable/Disable the Universal Graves and Ohmega integrations. * Enable/Disable snapshot deletion when a bed or respawn anchor is destroyed. ## Documentation Full documentation is on the **(https://github.com/Overshock-Studios/Dreambound/wiki)**: how the checkpoint works, the exact keep/forfeit rules and the cases that surprise people, every config key, mod compatibility, and troubleshooting. ## Installation & Dependencies Drop the `.jar` into your server's `mods` folder. **Required Dependencies:** * (https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api) * (https://modrinth.com/mod/cardinal-components-api) 8.0.1 or newer **Optional:** see (#mod-compatibility) above. --- *Dreambound is li
