Main Purpose:
The PlayerGrave plugin adds the functionality of creating death chests in Minecraft, which store players' inventory upon death. This helps players recover their items easily without losing them.
Key Features:
Death Chest Creation:
When a player with the appropriate permission (playergrave.use) dies, a chest is created at the death location containing their inventory. If the location is occupied, the chest spawns above the block.
Interactive Chest Menu:
Players can interact with the death chest through a custom menu (DeathMenu) that allows them to retrieve their items.
Automatic Chest Removal:
Death chests have a limited lifespan (default: 600 seconds). If not emptied in time, they are automatically removed, and any remaining items drop on the ground.
Explosion Protection:
Death chests are protected from explosions (e.g., creeper blasts).
Chest Breaking:
If a player breaks the chest, all remaining items are dropped naturally.
Visual Indicators:
Two invisible armor stands are created above the chest:
- One displays the name of the player who owns the chest.
- The other shows the remaining lifespan of the chest.
Compass Guidance:
Upon respawn, players receive a compass pointing to their death location (the chest).
Benefits:
- Protects player items after death.
- Convenient chest interaction menu.
- Explosion protection.
- Compass for quick navigation to the death chest.
Usage:
- Players must have the permission
playergrave.useto use the plugin. - Upon death, a chest is automatically created, and a compass helps locate its position.
- Players can retrieve their items or leave them until the chest is automatically removed.
