# Remove Experience Penalties After Death in 7 Days to Die

Guide on how to remove XP death penalty

You can completely remove the experience loss when dying in **7 Days to Die** by setting the XP penalty to 0. The easiest way to do this is by installing the **No XP Penalty On Death** mod.

This mod adjusts the in-game variable **ExpDeficitPerDeathPercentage** for the player entity, changing it from the default 0.25 (25%) to 0, which disables XP loss on death.
