</>What does Karma Keeper do?
Karma gates decide where you're allowed to go, and dying drops your karma right when you least want it to. Karma Keeper gives you two switches. Open All Gates lifts your karma and its ceiling to the maximum, so every gate in the world waves you through. Keep My Karma is the gentler option — it holds you at your current ceiling and keeps your protective golden ring lit, so a nasty death won't send you tumbling back down the ladder. Use one or both, and turn them off whenever you want the challenge back.

</>Common questions about Karma Keeper
What does Karma Keeper do in Rain World?
Karma Keeper gives you two ways to take control of Rain World's karma system. Its first switch, Open All Gates, raises your karma and its ceiling to the maximum so every karma gate in the world opens for you. Its second switch, Keep My Karma, is gentler: it holds your karma at its current ceiling and keeps your protective golden ring lit, so a bad death never sends you tumbling back down the ladder. You can use one, the other, or both together. Karma Keeper is a free-tier mod from ProjectMods, and each switch can be turned off any time you want the karma challenge back.
What is the difference between Open All Gates and Keep My Karma?
The two switches in Karma Keeper solve different Rain World problems. Open All Gates is about access — it pushes your karma and its ceiling straight to the top, so every karma gate immediately waves you through and no region is locked behind a karma requirement. Keep My Karma is about protection — it does not force your karma to the maximum, it simply holds it steady at your current ceiling and keeps your golden protection ring lit, so dying never drops you a level. Use Open All Gates when you want to travel freely, and Keep My Karma when you want to earn progress but never lose it. Both are part of this free-tier ProjectMods mod.
Can I use both Karma Keeper switches at the same time?
Yes. Open All Gates and Keep My Karma are independent toggles in Karma Keeper, so you can run either one alone or both together in Rain World. Turning both on gives you maximum karma with every gate open and a locked, protected ring on top, meaning you travel anywhere freely and never take a karma setback from dying. Running only Keep My Karma lets you build karma the normal way while guaranteeing a rough death won't cost you progress. Because the switches are separate, you can tune exactly how much of the karma challenge you keep. Karma Keeper is a free-tier mod from ProjectMods, and both switches are fully reversible.
Does Keep My Karma stop me losing my karma ring when I die?
That is exactly what Keep My Karma does in Rain World. Normally, dying knocks your karma down a level and your protective ring dims, which can lock you out of gates you had already earned your way through. With Keep My Karma switched on, your karma holds at its current ceiling and the golden ring stays lit through death after death, so a nasty end never sets you back. You still play the game normally — you just stop losing ground every time something eats you. It is the gentler half of Karma Keeper, a free-tier mod from ProjectMods, and turning it off lets death drop your karma again like the base game.
Why would I use Karma Keeper in Rain World?
Karma Keeper is for players who find Rain World's karma gates and death penalties frustrating rather than fun. Use Open All Gates when you want to explore the whole map freely without grinding karma to unlock each region, which is great for sightseeing, route-planning, or getting to a specific area fast. Use Keep My Karma on a serious run when you want to keep the challenge of surviving but hate losing hard-earned progress to a single unlucky death. Together they let you decide how much of the karma system you keep. As a free-tier mod from ProjectMods, both switches are reversible, so the full karma challenge is always one toggle away.
