Lenient Death Mod is a server-sided alternative to gravestone mods. Keep only certain items, and other features relating to dropped items.
Features:
Enabled by Default:
- Preserve only some items on death – think of it as a filtered
/gamerule keepInventory.- Multiple criteria, including a manual safe list, by item type, ad-hoc soulbound system, and optionally by pure chance.
- Inspired by Starbound’s death system.
- Give dropped items a glowing outline, helping you find your way back. Recommended to increase your Entity View Distance!
- Void Immunity for items – they will be teleported to a safe place instead of despawning.
- Automatic moving of your items to their original slots
- Logging of your coordinates at death in chat
- Saving of inventories upon death, and allowing admins to restore them if needed
Disabled by Default:
- Several config presets to get you started – use
/ld config presets. - Preserve some or all of your experience on death.
- Item & XP drops can work on a per-player basis too.
- Give items an extended (or infinite!) lifespan, putting less pressure on players.
- Add immunities to your items for fire, lava, explosions and cacti.
Configuration:
- You can either edit
config/lenientdeath.json5, or use the in-game/ld configcommand.
