GhostlyPath -----
A lightweight, configurable death chest alternative that guides you back to your items.
GhostlyPath
Your reliable guide back to your lost items.
GhostlyPath is a lightweight, minimalistic plugin that solves one of the most frustrating problems in survival mode: losing your items upon death.
Your reliable guide back to your lost items.
Instead of just printing coordinates in chat, GhostlyPath creates a "ghost" (your player's head) at your death location that safely stores all your items. Your compass will automatically point to the ghost, helping you find your way back quickly. No more 5-minute despawn timers for your precious gear!
✨ Features
- Safe Item Storage: Your inventory is stored inside the ghost instead of dropping on the ground, protecting it from despawning or being stolen.
- Visual Marker: A glowing player head appears at your death location, making it easy to spot from a distance.
- Compass Navigation: Upon respawning, your compass automatically points to your death location.
- Server Restart Proof: Ghosts and their items will persist through server restarts and reloads. You will never lose your items due to a server shutdown.
- Configurable PvP Looting: Enable looting by other players for a high-risk PvP experience, or keep it disabled for a classic, safe PvE feeling.
- Fully Configurable: Customize the ghost's lifespan, pickup distance, and other settings in config.yml.
- Lightweight & Optimized: The plugin is designed to be efficient and is only active when needed, ensuring zero server lag.
- Version Support: Works on versions 1.19.4 through 1.21+.
- Download the latest version of the plugin.
- Place the downloaded .jar file into your server's plugins folder.
- Restart or reload the server.
- (Optional) Configure the config.yml file in the /plugins/GhostlyPath/ folder to your liking.
