Paper 1.21.8 plugin that deletes a player's inventory on death in configured worlds (useful for hardcore mode on servers!)
Configuration: edit config.yml and add world names under enabled-worlds.
Behavior: when a player dies in a configured world, their dropped items are cleared and inventory is cleared (items are not dropped to the ground).
Why would you need it?
For example, if you'd like to create an hardcore world on your server but don't want to ban players when they die, you can clear completely their inventory, instead of banning them.
