Death

Death is a gameplay mechanic in SkyBlock.

Coins
Dying exactly halves the number of in the purse. This will be shown under the death message, keep in mind that death messages do not show how much the player has lost, but instead how much the player has left. For instance, If the player dies with in the purse, it will say that the player lost, but if the player looks at the purse afterward, the player will see  still in the purse.

Coin loss can be decreased with the Piggy Bank. This accessory saves all coins for the first death, and 75% of coins for the second death without repair. The Piggy Bank only activates when losing over ; after activating, it may be repaired with 8 Enchanted Pork (equivalent to 20 stacks of Raw Porkchop). The legendary Phoenix Pet, while expensive, saves all coins on death at no cost.

The coin loss on death can be permanently reduced by 5% as a perk from Wolf Slayer 8.

The Booster Cookie added in the 0.9 Community Center update also prevents your coins from being deleted upon death.

There is a glitch that prevents coin loss after using remnant of the eye.

Prevention
It's generally a good idea to avoid taking an unnecessary risk, such as being near the void or fighting a dangerous enemy. If the player must, there are items that may help prevent death.

Items

 * Remnant of the Eye
 * The Remnant of the Eye is the best way to prevent death in the End Island. It will fill up the player's health when the player should have died. It also grants a short period of invincibility.


 * Phoenix Pet
 * Phoenix Pets have an ability called Rekindle which allows their users to gain invincibility and up to 30 strength for 4 seconds when near death. However, this ability has a cooldown of 3 minutes.


 * Saving Grace
 * The Saving Grace is an item that, if the player dies with it in their inventory, will safely teleport its user to their Private Island, but is consumed on use. Unlike the Remnant of the Eye, it works anywhere but has the drawback of not letting the player continue with whatever the player was doing. Currently known to be bugged and can still lead to the loss of coins and addition to the /deathcount as if you died.
 * You could also use two armor pieces with Bank V to not lose any coins, as ultimate enchantments stack.

Spirit Mask

Spirit Mask's ability, 'Second Wind', which makes you immune for a short period of time, can also be used to prevent death.

Dante

when dante is elected mayor, all coin losses will be fully negated.

Trivia

 * If a player has a name starting with WINNER_ and dies, this will trigger sk1er's auto-gg mod as normally the only time that the console puts WINNER_ in the chat is when someone wins a minigame. However, on death, the console will put this name in chat, triggering auto-gg mods or any win-triggered mods. However, sk1er patched this.
