Need a server to play on?

GameServerApp (GSA) is a very good server hosting service, with a good support team. If that support team isn\\\'t avaliable, they also have a helpful discord community. They are also very easy to get started with your server, I got mine up in a few minutes.

This mod saved my items so many times, thank you.

This mod works but there are some wonky things. You access the backup list in-game by pressing the Esc key and clicking one of the new two buttons. However, the two buttons would sometimes not be in the Esc menu. I could fix this for myself by using the command "hurtme 1000" and then after I respawn and pressing Esc the two buttons would be there for me.
