ChallengingDeathRecovery

A clean, configurable “death chest” plugin with virtual 54-slot GUI and hovering hologram timer.

Overview

When a player dies, ChallengingDeathRecovery spawns a visual chest block and opens a virtual 54-slot inventory containing their items (with a configurable percentage lost to “trash”). Above the chest appears an invisible ArmorStand hologram, showing who died, by what cause, and how long ago. Once the player has fully emptied their chest, the GUI, hologram, and block automatically vanish—no clutter, no ghost chests.
