Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.20.12 and 1.21.0-rc.1, outdated):
geartolife_1.0.1.zip  1-click install

Main Features

  • Each player has a limited number of lives (unrelated to the original one).
  • Lives can be increased using the temporal gear.
  • If a player dies and had one life at the moment of death, he switches to spectator mode.

⚙ Customization

The mod contains three configurable parameters (i hope self explanatory) in GearToLifeConfig.json:

  • InitialLivesAmount
  • MaxLivesAmount (-1 is endless)
  • LivesPerGear

⚙ Commands

There is one command, \lives, which displays the current number of lives.

⚙ Localizations

  • English
  • Russian
  • Ukrainian
  • German

⚙ Some notes

Yes, I used as a basis the Temporal-Life mod by GOTTLIEBBINICH. But I fixed the bug with adding life by simply clicking on the gear without using it. Well, and also added a little customization. GOTTLIEBBINICH, if you are interested, then we can work together =).

I was wondering if this works in 1.22 or if you were planning to update to 1.22?  This mod seems to add an element to the gameplay that I am looking for and would love to add your mod to my next playthrough.

Is it working with 1.22 ?

I feel you. I also wanted to access the config that was mentioned - and yet it doesn't seem to exist anywhere.

Had an idea:

Revivable friends, You set up a ritual and burn a temporal gear bound with a rusty gear that had the name of the dead player chiseled in to it in a campfire, resulting in them being set from Spectator Mode back to Survival mode, allowing them to spawn once more :D

Dunno how hard this would be to set up, but i think it'd be a great feature for servers!

Thank you for this mod, it was the piece I needed for my settings I've been working on. It's perfect.

I want to customize the amount of lives I have at the beginning of the world, but the config file in my download just... isn't there?

I've tried both 1-click and manual installing, but I can't find "GearToLifeConfig" anywhere in the mod files. Is it just not included in the current download for some reason...?

Does anyone else have this issue?

Hello everyone!

I’ve updated the mod and fixed the bug the author mentioned. Check it Temporal-Life 1.2.0 !

Sihg, Oct 11th 2025 at 10:39 AM

Hello, could you add the option to disable the spectator mode?

Rythillian, Oct 1st 2025 at 12:12 AM

Just what I was looking for, is there a way to give a spectator player lives again? Had the idea that players that are alive can revive a now dead player by spending a large amount of gears.

great mod ! does it work with 1.21 ? 

Gomazilla, Sep 10th 2025 at 8:45 AM

It would be better if players didn't lose lives when revived by other players.

Coda_Vanistok, Aug 30th 2025 at 6:30 AM

There's another mod out out there that lets you trade your respawns to other players, "Value your Life".

I'd love to see this feature added, and also some admin commands to control people's amount of lives. I want my players in my server to be able to bargain for each other's lives with their own respawns.

I was planning to make almost exactly this mod for awhile. Good job and thanks for saving me the effort :)

Wahazar, Jul 7th 2025 at 10:09 AM

Minor issue: after death, POV of the "ghost" is very low, thus lurking trough surface at undergtound caves is possible. After relog, height is restored.

Wahazar, Jul 6th 2025 at 1:57 PM

Congratulations, finally mod I was waiting for - dynamic permadeath with custom live count. Thank you, I will test this.
