DeathChests

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of Minecraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

DeathChests

This plugin is similar to the Death-System of Diablo 2 (and many other RPG games). If you die it will put down a chest at your feet and your whole inventory gets stored in this chest. But this only works if you have enough chests in your inventory (or if you have certain permissions).

This chest is also saved against every player-based attack. So nobody could loot you while you're walking back to your death point. And also the chest doesn't despawn after time.

Features:

  • Drop a chest upon death if you have one in your inventory and save your inventory from being destroyed
  • Your chest gets signed with your name if there is space for a sign (either on the side or on the top)
  • Shift (Sneak) + click the DeathChest to easily reeqiup your inventory
  • Protect your items from griefers and other hazards. Nobody can steal your stuff while you're dead.
    • Chest gets unlocked after a defineable time (prevent with per player permissions)
    • After unlocking the chest you can define a time after this the chest automaticaly gets destroyed (spills content on ground)

Usage:

Just give yourself the permission deathchest.use and carry a chest around to save your items upon death.
