Seems if the same person dies while trying to get to the chest again it causes the server to crash, I get this error on the server console before the server restarts, not sure where the craft tipped arrow was as no one has one.

Helo guys. This is my problem.

This happened while I was using version 1.3 of the plugin. Someone died and left the chest there. Then when I saw that the chest was not gone I opened the chest, but the hologram does not disappear until today. I updated the plugin to version 1.7 but the hologram is still there. I tried to remove the entire plugin to see if it disappeared, but it didn't disappear either. How can I remove this bug?

server is bukkit 1.14.2 with plugin up to 1.14.4
I play in version 1.14.4

Hi, to clear bugged holograms : try this command : /kill @e[type=minecraft:armorstand,r=10] next to the chest. I work regulary to make improvement on the plugin. I hope this kind of problem will deseapear in the future.

Thanks !

We noticed a problem on our server. One player died and the chest appeared, then another player (not the chest owner) destroyed the chest of the other player in Creative Mode. We had the problem that the hologram display was frozen and didn't disappear (the countdown didn't count down either). Finally I had to remove it with the minecraft:kill command.

Server Version: Paper 159
Addon Version: 1.5

Quote from youtoyokoderaaaa >>

There are some issues: First is the item duplication, when you die you drop your inventory and the chest also have another inventory of your so you can duplicate it. Second is the spawning of the chest, if you die on half block like camp fire or slabs, the chest will remove the block and spawn there.

To prevent the item drops execute the following command /gamerule keepInventory true in every world. If you use Multiverse use this command for every world /mv gamerule keepInventory true

In reply to youtoyokoderaaaa:

If when you die you drop your inventory and the chest, it's not normal ! Because deadchest remove your inventory on you and cancel the drop of items. It is necessarily a conflict with an other plugin interacting with player death and/or inventory. I can't control what other plugin do.

For the second point, it's actually a bug ! I will patch that in the next update of the plugin. Thanks for your feedback !

There's a message that spams my console every 3-5 seconds. It doesn't affect the game but is very annoying as trying to read my console is almost impossible as this long message just constantly spams bringing me to the newest message. Was wondering if there's a way to stop this from constantly spamming console. The message that appears is this:

Gotta Issue - I'm running this plugin through multicraft and when people leave the server with a dead chest down they cannot be opened at all. I can change the settings in the config files but changing the false to true or true to false does nothing. I cannot remove these chests at all please help.
