What keeps you alive, what you trade for power, how your gear grows, and what waits after the story. Everything here works the same in solo and on a server.
Survival
Life Doll
You carry a doll made of layers. It gets its first layer when the Spore Queen falls, a second after the Light Eater and a third after the Master of Seasons. Every boss you beat restores one layer, and the Soul Altar rebuilds one for 50 souls and 4 rare resources of the world you are in.
When you die
- 1If your Doll of Life has a layer left, it breaks and you get back up on the spot. A doll can save you at most once a minute.
- 2Otherwise you die, and a death chest keeps your inventory where you fell. It never despawns; inside a boss arena it waits at the entrance.
- 3If you placed a charged Soul Cradle in that world, you wake up next to it.
- 4If not, you are sent back outside, to your usual spawn point.
Soul Cradle
A small painted cradle that lets you respawn inside a world. It holds 3 charges; feed it one resource from that world and 5 souls to add another. One active cradle per player and per world.

A broken World Block
Break a World Block and everyone inside is pushed out safely. The block becomes a Cracked Doll tied to that exact world: set it down again and the world comes back with its bases and chests, unstable for 20 minutes. It is also how you move a world.
