Death

Death is what happens when a player's health reaches zero.

When you die in STW, you will not drop anything at the moment of death.

Causes of Death
Death may occur from:
 * Damage inflicted by enemies and bosses
 * Drowning
 * Lava
 * Traps
 * Being trapped below Silt/Slush/Sand (Suffocation)
 * Fall damage
 * Other damage-over-time debuffs, typically inflicted by enemies
 * Being "stabbed" by the Companion Cube

Difficulty Differences
Whilst it is possible to play a mediumcore and Hardcore character in STW, it is highly recommended to play a Softcore character as the other difficulty modes are not supported.

A Softcore character will not drop anything at the moment of death.

A character will lose all carried items upon death.

A character will lose all of their items upon death. The character is deleted upon death and the player turns into a ghost, unable to interact with the environment, but still able to observe, move about, and chat with other players.
