📋 About This Mod
Death Marker
A mod that places a marker at your location when you die.
Installation
Install both QModManager and SMLHelper (V2)
Extract the contents of the mod's zip to the "QMods" folder in your Subnautica installation.
If installed correctly, whenever you die there'll be a green orb and a marker at your death location, that you can then remove.
Configuration
In the included "mod.json" file, you can edit options in the "Config" section.
Currently you can set the "AddCoords" field to true in order to have the coordinates of your death put into the name of the death marker, or you can set it to false to disable it.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 927 endorsements and 26k downloads—clearly a mod people find useful.
- Does exactly what it says: marks your death spot so you can find your way back.
- Lightweight and focused—no bloat, just a simple quality-of-life improvement.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019—might not work with the latest game patches.
- No install instructions or compatibility notes provided by the author.
- Only does one thing, so if you're looking for more features, this isn't it.
For players who die often and hate losing track of their loot or grave. Also great for those who want a simple, no-fuss way to mark a location without extra complexity. Skip if you want a more feature-rich death marker mod or if you're on a newer game version that might break it.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod is compatible with your current game version before installing, since it hasn't been updated since 2019.
- If the ping doesn't show up, try reloading the save or checking your keybinds for the ping action.
- Use the ping to mark other important locations too, not just death spots—it's a handy tool.
