DeadChest
The ultimate solution to protect player inventories on death
DeadChest automatically converts a player's dropped inventory into a secure chest at the exact location of death.
Each chest displays a hologram with the owner's name and a configurable countdown timer.
When the timer expires, the chest and its contents are permanently removed.
Fully customizable: define custom durations, create infinite chests, and choose between private (owner/admin only) or public access.

I just finish to work on the update. The version 2.8 should patch your issue. This version will be available soon.
Don't forget to remove your deadchest/chestData.yml in the plugin before update if you have one.
Please tell me if all work fine with this new version.
Thanks !

Posted Dec 2, 2019lightning from the magic wand and the TNT explosion from LandMine of the Custom Enchantment plugin can still make the Chest disappear, the 3D text is still there but the chest is invisible and there's no way to break or open it, (I've edited Fix for it not to be destroyed by other players, Lightning and TNT) , Hopefully the creator of PLugin can fix it

Have you download the plugin from this page ? I'm the owner only from this dead chest. The next version will be not the 2.5 but the 2.4. I'm currently working on it.
If you have an error on startup, try to remove your chestData.yml, that should correct your issue.
