How to add a death waypoint on a Vintage Story server

Adding a death waypoint on a Vintage Story server is an important feature that helps players quickly find their dropped items after death. This significantly reduces frustration and makes recovery easier, allowing you to explore the world and take risks without fear of permanently losing your progress due to an unclear death location.

Go to the console

Log in to the Game Panel and go to the section “Console”. This is the interface for entering commands that manage your game world in real-time.

Enable death waypoint creation

Make sure your server is running. In the console input line, enter the following command to activate the death waypoint feature in your world:

/worldconfigcreate bool allowDeathwaypointing true

Press Enter to execute the command. This setting will allow the server to automatically create a waypoint at each player's death location.

How to manage the setting in the future

If you want to disable this feature or re-enable it, you no longer need to use the worldconfigcreate command. Instead, use the simpler command to edit the existing setting:

/worldconfig allowDeathwaypointing \[true/false\]

Replace [true/false] with true to enable, or false to disable death waypoints.

Enjoy the game

After executing the command, the setting will apply immediately. Now, if you or your players die, a waypoint will automatically appear at the death location, helping you find your lost items easily.
