Posted Jul 6, 2020This plugin is amazing and we love it but I think I found a slight issue. Whenever someone respawns after they die, they respawn with the exact amount of exp they had when they died. I don't know if this is an issue or if there is a command to change this.

Hi,
Thank you very much ! I have already see report about this issue. Is not a issue related to Deadchest. Indeed the plugin didn't touch anything related to the exp system. The issue must come from another plugin. If you want to be sure of that, just test deadchest without plugin you will have a normal behavior. If it's not the case please tell me back !

Posted Jul 4, 2020Hi, I love the plugin it works great. My players have been having issues with the plugin however. Sometimes our players will lag out and end up at the bottom of a lava lake in the nether (Which is not this plugins fault) however the dead chest that results is nearly impossible to get to, even with the use of /back. Is there a way to add the option of dead chests to either spawn only on surface lava or above lava. I've been trying to modify it myself, but without the GitHub source i've had only difficult times.

It's in config.yml, you need to edit the chestDuration option.

Posted Jun 30, 2020Hi, when I disable DeadChest (pretend I want to upgrade minecraft to a version deadchest doesn't support) - all chests are transformed into normal chests. This is good, because it means I don't have to worry about my world getting stuck with a bunch of unopenable chests.
However, the "hologram" text display that shows time limit and player name is permanently stuck in the world. My question is, how can I get rid of this, as a server owner? DeadChest is disabled so I assume minecraft isn't looking at the config file... It seems that it's just there forever?
Maybe, could you add an option to never show a hologram for the chests to begin with? I have the timer set to 0 (infinite) so I'm not worried about the chests disappearing without being found. Or instead of a hologram the option for a sign attached to the chest.

Hi,
I can't answer for DeadChest Hologram but in your screenshot, it's not a DeadChest hologram, it's a waypoint created by your mod "Xaeros WordMap" and "Xaeros Minimap". You an remove then by pressing "," or "m", place your cursor on the "D" marker and press "del" button on your keyboard.

You're right, thank you for pointing that out. I don't use it regularly I was just testing it for my brother.
I've updated my original post so the addon author can respond only to my issues about this addon.

Hi Haruka,
You can easily remove hologram from your old deadchests by typing /dc repair next to the hologram. There is no command to clean all at once. You need go next to each deadchest and then, do the command.
That should anwser your question !

Posted Jun 29, 2020Hello,
Does this plugin work in version 1.16.1?
Is there any plan for ignoring certain items that have certain enchantments? With the "Bind" enchantment of the "zenchantments" plugin, the item is duplicated (one item in the player's inventory and the other item in the deadchest).
Thank you in advance for the answer
