Death

There are 3 forms of "death". Knocked out, Physical Death and Spiritual Death (permadeath). Each of these forms of deaths has different properties and effects.

Knocked Out
A player will be knocked out when his health reaches 0, getting knocked out will make your screen black with a timer of about 1 minute until you can reawaken in place. When you're knocked out, players will be able to loot your inventory (equipment and tools equipped are ignored). Getting knocked out doesn't lead to long-term effects. Knocking someone out is still illegal and might lead you to prison.

Physical Death
A player that is knocked out can be physically killed. Getting physically killed will block all vision with a timer of about 2 minutes. When you're physically dead, players will be able to loot all your inventory (including equipment and tools). Getting physically killed will lead to long-term effects and reduce your lifespan. Physically killing someone isn't the best idea because it's illegal and will lead you to prison.

Spiritual Death
A spiritual death only occurs when you have no more life, dying spiritually will lock your soul out of your body and you'll ultimately become a spirit who can enter the next world or join another player. Joining another player allows you to share one body with two souls.

Sealed
It's possible for a player to experience spiritual death automatically if his soul is sealed. This usually occurs if a player gets the death penalty.
