RespawnCare

# RespawnCare **RespawnCare** adds an economy-based death protection system to your Minecraft server. Instead of simply losing or keeping your inventory after death, RespawnCare calculates the value of everything the player is carrying and creates a configurable **hospital bill**. If the player can afford the bill, the money is withdrawn through Vault and the inventory is saved. If the player cannot afford the bill, the entire death inventory is lost. --- ## Features - Inventory-based death costs - Vault economy integration - Configurable percentage of the inventory value - Configurable minimum and maximum death cost - Players keep their inventory when they can afford the bill - Inventory is completely lost when the bill cannot be paid - Armor and offhand items are included - Enchantments increase item value - Item durability can affect the calculated value - Shulker Box contents are included - Bundle contents are included - Building blocks and common materials have configurable values - Configurable item and enchantment prices - Compact inventory value command - English and German language files - Custom language files can be added - Automatic English fallback for missing translations - No unnecessary player commands --- ## How does it work? When a player dies, RespawnCare calculates the total value of the player's inventory. For example: ```text Inventory value: $24,850.00 Hospital bill: $2,485.00 Balance: $7,420.00 ``` If the hospital bill is configured to `10%`, the player has to pay `$2,485.00`. ### The player can afford the bill The hospital bill is withdrawn from the player's economy account through Vault. The complete inventory is preserved. ### The player cannot afford the bill The complete death inventory is lost. There is no partial payment and no partial inventory recovery. --- ## Inventory Value RespawnCare calculates much more than just diamonds or Netherite. The valuation system can include: - Weapons - Tools - Armor - Building blocks - Resources - Food - Rare items - Enchantments - Offhand items - Shulker Boxes - Shulker Box contents - Bundles - Bundle contents Stack sizes are automatically taken into account. Example: ```text 1 Diamond = $100 32 Diamonds = $3,200 ``` Normal building blocks can also have values. This means that a player carrying large amounts of building materials still has an inventory value without ordinary blocks becoming excessively expensive. --- ## Enchantments Enchantments can increase the value of an item. Example: ```text Netherite Pickaxe $1,500 Efficiency V +$1,000 Unbreaking III +$450 Fortune III +$1,200 Mending +$750 ------------------------------ Total $4,900 ``` Enchantment values can be adjusted by the server administrator. --- ## Shulker Boxes and Bundles RespawnCare also calculates the contents of supported containers. For example, placing expensive items inside a Shulker Box does not hide their value from RespawnCare. Example: ```text Shulker Box $200 64 Diamonds $6,400 32 Netherite Ingots $16,000 Elytra $5,000 ------------------------------ Total $27,600 ``` This prevents players from avoiding higher hospital bills by storing valuable items inside containers. --- ## Commands ### `/respawncare value` Shows the current value of your inventory, the estimated hospital bill and whether you could currently afford it. Alias: ```text /rc value ``` --- ### `/respawncare value details` Shows additional information about the current inventory value. The command only displays the most valuable items instead of printing the complete inventory, keeping the chat clean and readable. Alias: ```text /rc value details ``` --- ### `/respawncare reload` Reloads the configuration, item values, enchantment values and language files. Alias: ```text /rc reload ``` --- ## Permissions ```text respawncare.value respawncare.reload ``` `respawncare.value` is available to players by default. `respawncare.reload` is intended for server administrators. --- ## Languages RespawnCare currently includes: - English - German English is the default language. The language can be changed inside `config.yml`. English: ```yaml language: en ``` German: ```yaml language: de ``` Custom language files can also be added inside the RespawnCare `lang` directory. If a translation is missing, RespawnCare automatically falls back to the English message. --- ## Requirements RespawnCare requires: - Paper - Vault - A Vault-compatible economy plugin A common setup is: ```text Paper Vault EssentialsX Economy RespawnCare ``` Other Vault-compatible economy providers can also be used. --- ## Configuration RespawnCare is designed to be highly configurable. Server administrators can configure things such as: - Hospital bill percentage - Minimum hospital bill - Maximum hospital bill - Item values - Enchantment values - Building block values - Armor calculation - Offhand calculation - Container contents - Item durability calculation - Number of items shown by the details command - Language - Messages This allows RespawnCare to be adjusted to different server economies. --- ## Example A player is carrying equipment and resources worth: ```text Inventory value: $18,750.00 ``` The server has configured: ```text Hospital bill: 10% Minimum bill: $500 ``` The resulting hospital bill is: ```text $18,750 × 10% = $1,875 ``` If the player has at least `$1,875`, the bill is paid and the inventory is preserved. If the player has less than `$1,875`, the inventory is lost. --- ## Why RespawnCare? RespawnCare provides an alternative to the traditional `keepInventory` gamerule. Death still has consequences, but valuable equipment does not automatically disappear if the player can afford the recovery cost. Players carrying expensive equipment take a larger financial risk than players carrying basic equipment. This also creates an additional money sink for economy servers without requiring complicated systems or additional player commands. --- ## Support If you encounter a problem, please provide as much information as possible.
