LagGuard - Inventory Protection for High-Ping Players
Are your players tired of losing their valuable items due to a sudden ping spike? LagGuard is a simple and effective plugin that automatically protects high-ping players by saving and restoring their inventory upon death.

Lag spikes are a common issue, and losing items because of them can be frustrating for players. This plugin acts as a safety net, ensuring a fairer and more enjoyable experience on your server.

Key Features:

• Automatic Inventory Restoration: When a player with high ping dies, their inventory is cleared from the ground and automatically restored to them with a configurable delay.
  
  
• Dynamic Ping Thresholds: The plugin uses different ping thresholds for different death types:
  • PvP Deaths: If a player dies in a PvP combat with a ping over 500ms, their inventory is restored.
    
    
  • Non-PvP Deaths: If a player dies from environmental causes (mobs, fall damage, etc.) with a ping over 250ms, their inventory is restored.
• Anti-Dupe System: The SnapshotManager ensures that once an inventory is restored, the temporary snapshot is deleted, preventing item duplication.
  
  
• Configurable Delay Time: You can now adjust the time a player has to wait for their items to be restored using the /lagguard setdelay <seconds> command in-game.
  
  
• Automatic Configuration File: The config.yml file is now created automatically when the plugin is run for the first time, making setup much easier.
  
  
• Informative Messages: Players are notified via chat when their inventory has been restored and are told exactly how long the restoration will take.
  
  
• Lightweight & Efficient: The plugin is designed to be as efficient as possible, having a minimal impact on server performance.

How It Works:

1. A player dies.
   
   
2. The plugin checks the player's current ping and whether the death was PvP or not.
   
   
3. If the ping exceeds the configured threshold, the PlayerDeathEvent is canceled by clearing the item drops.
   
   
4. The SnapshotManager then restores the player's inventory from a temporary snapshot after the set delay.
   
   
5. A message is sent to the player, confirming that their items have been saved and the expected restoration time.

Compatibility:
This plugin is designed for Minecraft version 1.16 and 1.21. It may work with other versions, but has not been tested.
