corpse_settings

Server-wide corpse behaviour. One entry of this type configures every corpse on the server.

Most fields are dynamic values, so they can be driven by placeholders and facts instead of a single constant — protection time can depend on rank, the loot GUI can be limited to a permission, and a dangerous world can expire corpses faster than a safe one.

Fields

Field	Type	Default	Description
duration	Var<Int>	300	Seconds before the corpse disappears. 0 = never expire.
dropOnInteract	Var<Bool>	true	Right-clicking loots the corpse directly. When false, the interaction opens the GUI instead.
glowEffect	Var<Bool>	true	Draw a glowing outline around the corpse.
glowColor	Color	white	Colour of the glow outline.
onlyOwnerCanLoot	Var<Bool>	false	Only the dead player may ever loot their own corpse.
ownerProtectionSeconds	Var<Int>	0	Seconds during which only the owner may loot, after which the corpse opens to everyone. 0 = no protection.
spawnParticles	Var<Bool>	true	Spawn blood and soul particles when the corpse appears.
lootSound	Sound	empty	Sound played to nearby players when the corpse is looted.
spawnSound	Sound	empty	Sound played to nearby players when the corpse spawns.
notifyOnRespawn	Var<Bool>	true	Tell the dead player where their corpse is when they respawn.
renderArmor	Var<Bool>	true	Render the armour the player was wearing on the corpse.
enableInventoryGUI	Var<Bool>	false	Enable the inventory GUI, opened by sneak + right-click.

Notes

• This is a Manifest entry — only one instance is needed. If none exists, the defaults above apply.
• duration can be overridden per corpse type via corpse_definition.overrideDuration.
• The access rule (onlyOwnerCanLoot and ownerProtectionSeconds) is captured when the corpse is created. Changing it later does not unlock corpses that died under stricter rules.
• glowColor is rendered by the client as an entity outline. It is applied by backends that consume the glow property; model backends that ignore it simply render without an outline.
