Configuration

Configuration

config/dreambound.properties, created on first launch. Edits apply after /dreambound reload or a restart.

Checkpoints

Key	Default	What it does
enableBedSleepSnapshots	true	Save a snapshot after a successful bed sleep
enableRespawnAnchorLogic	true	Save a snapshot when binding your spawn to a charged respawn anchor
allowDaytimeCheckpoint	false	Let players refresh the snapshot by right-clicking the bed their spawn is already set to, during the day, without sleeping

allowDaytimeCheckpoint is worth considering. Vanilla only lets you sleep at night or in a thunderstorm, so without it there is no way to check in before dusk — gear up in the morning and the kit you are carrying cannot be saved until the day is over. Turning it on removes that dead time. Leaving it off keeps "get home before dark" as real pressure.

It only ever works on the bed you are already bound to, so a checkpoint still belongs to a place.

What comes back

Key	Default	What it does
containerAwareMatching	true	Look inside shulker boxes and bundles rather than treating a container whose contents changed as a different item
restoreExperience	true	Restore XP up to what you had in the dream
experienceLossPercent	0	Percentage of otherwise-restored XP lost on death. 0 keeps all of it, 100 keeps none

experienceLossPercent is the main difficulty dial. A value like 10 or 25 makes dying cost something even when your gear is safe.

When a snapshot ends

Key	Default	What it does
clearSnapshotOnRespawn	false	Clear the snapshot once it has been used
clearSnapshotOnSpawnpointDestroyed	true	Clear the snapshot when its bed or anchor is destroyed, or when an anchor runs out of charges after a respawn

clearSnapshotOnRespawn=true makes every checkpoint single-use: you must sleep again after each death. Considerably harsher, and a good fit for a hardcore-leaning server.

clearSnapshotOnSpawnpointDestroyed is what keeps a checkpoint tied to a place. Turning it off means a snapshot outlives the bed that made it.

Messages

Key	Default	What it does
notifySnapshotSaved	true	Message when a snapshot is saved
notifyRespawnRestore	true	Message when items are restored on respawn

Mod integrations

Key	Default	What it does
enableUniversalGravesCompat	true	Integrate with Universal Graves when installed
enableOhmegaCompat	true	Include Ohmega accessory slots in the snapshot
debugUniversalGravesCompat	false	Log every grave decision. Verbose; for diagnosing grave problems only

Trinkets Updated support has no toggle — it is active whenever Trinkets is installed.

A note on editing

If the file cannot be read, Dreambound logs a warning, runs on defaults for that session, and leaves your file alone. It will not overwrite a config it failed to parse. Fix the file and run /dreambound reload.

On a successful load the file is rewritten so that new keys appear with their defaults after an update. Comments in the file are Dreambound's own; your own comments will not survive.
