⚒️ Balrond Second Chance

Overview

This mod introduces a Second Chance system to Valheim.

Instead of dying instantly, players enter a Downed state where they can:

• Be revived by another player
• Revive themselves (free or with item depending on config)
• Release their soul manually

All behavior is fully configurable with ServerSync added.

This is early release so if any error happens please send me feedback on discord with your logOutput.txt

🧭 What Happens When You Die?

1. You do NOT die immediately

2. You enter Downed state

3. A popup appears with options:

🌐 Translation

In config folder you find folder with ModName-Translation inside there is English.json If you seeing stuff like "$tag_something_bal" means translation file was not loaded or is not there. In case of dedicated servers you need to move translation on to the server manually. To add new language copy existing file rename file with Language name supported by the game itself then change the values NOT THE KEYS.
