🔗 SharedInventoryLink
Real-time inventory synchronization for Paper servers
Link two or more players' inventories so they always share the same items — in real-time, across armor, hotbar, off-hand, and more.
🌟 What is SharedInventoryLink?
SharedInventoryLink is a lightweight Paper plugin that links the inventories of players in a group. When one player picks up an item, crafts something, or equips armor — every linked teammate instantly sees the same change. Perfect for co-op survival, adventure maps, duos/trios PvP, and any gamemode where shared resources are part of the fun.

🛡️ Anti-Duplication System
SharedInventoryLink includes a full death-safe inventory system:
- When a grouped player dies, all item drops are cancelled — nothing falls on the ground
- The dead player's empty inventory is locked and never synced to teammates
- On respawn, the player automatically receives the group's current inventory
- Manual drops (pressing Q) still work and sync correctly to the group
This means zero item duplication regardless of how players die or respawn.
🗺️ Use Cases
- 🏝️ Co-op survival — a couple or friends sharing one inventory pool
- ⚔️ Team PvP — duos/trios where resource sharing is a mechanic
- 🗺️ Adventure maps — force inventory parity between players
- 🎮 Minigames — kit distribution that stays in sync automatically
