About this project

What does Death Wounds - Barebones Framework add?

What it is

[[Designed for as a barebones framework for modders to flesh out!]]

Death Wounds is a minimal survival injury loop: dying can add stacked penalties on different “lines” (e.g. movement vs hunger), persisted on the player, re-applied on join/respawn, and surfaced in a Character panel. Poultice items cure one random wound in a chosen body region. The implementation is meant as a blueprint—same hooks you’d reuse for curses, diseases, or armor-break systems.

Purpose

Demonstrate random tier growth on death, stat modifiers with stable IDs, and consumable cures tied to body part.
Stay independent of trait-buff mods (no shared dependency).
Keep legacy attribute names where useful so worlds migrated from older combined mods still behave.

For modders (how to use this as a template)

Add a new WoundLine + attribute key + lang keys + optional poultice variant; mirror the pattern in the debuff ModSystem.
Tune EntityStats keys so they never collide with another mod’s modifier codes.
Fork the client GUI to change layout, colors, or to merge with your own Character extensions.

Flavor
Death leaves a mark that satiety alone won’t fix—until someone mixes the right poultice for the right hurt. The names and numbers here are examples; your lore can go grim, folk-medicine, or clockwork—same skeleton.
