SavageDeathChest -----

Stores player inventory in a chest on death for later retrieval.




Version: 1.18.7
all the savage plugins are very good, very surprised using them all the time now!

Version: 1.18.5
Really has helped the younger players maintain interest in playing on hard setting on our SMP server. Thank you!

Your welcome! I originally wrote this plugin to entice our younger player base into our survival world. Same goes for SavageDeathCompass, so they could find their way back to their chest if they had ventured far from spawn.

Version: Version 1.16.0
Broken.. terrible! Works half of the time.. I've had multiple experiences where players in my server lost all of their items because their death chest didn't spawn. Even though protection is enabled, players can still raid each others death chests. I can't /deathchest list anyone even with the right permissions! So death chests can't be monitored by admins. There's a bug that scares players that says they have less than one second to get their death chest, even though its infinite. Death chests LITERALLY SPAWN UNDER LAVA! So you have to swim all the way to where you died to get your death chest. Only positive is that it works 50% of the time, and the other times it doesn't at all.

To prevent deathchest from spawning in lava (or water), remove the appropriate block types (LAVA, WATER) from the replaceable-blocks list in the config.yml.

/deathchest list command has been fixed
unlimited time messages have been fixed

Chests should be protected from looting by other players when configured. A new feature has been added to allow a seperate amount of time for chest protection, distinct from chest expiration time.

Version: Version 1.16.0
It's good, I just wish there was a way to make it so creepers didn't blow them up when they spawned.

DeathChests should be protected by creeper explosions, as well as dynamite or any other explosion type. If you are able to reproduce behavior contrary to this, please file a bug report on github, with as much details as possible. Thanks!

Version: 1.16.0
Excellent plugin, it works great on my survival server. Couldn't recommend it enough.

Version: 1.13.3
Good plugin but I have one problem on 1.14. If my inventory has more items than chest slots the chest doesn't work.

Author's response
Unless you've changed the default settings, a double chest should be deployed if a player inventory exceeds the size of a single chest. A double chest has enough slots to contain all items in a full player inventory.

Version: 1.13.3
I have a small server, with 5 players. We ran into several instances of the death chest failing to create. Creeper explosion - No death chest. Underwater exploration - No death chest. Ended up uninstalling and downloading an alternative, as I would like to have a death chest plugin that is reliable.

Just tested with latest version of plugin (1.16.0) running on latest version of paper (build 722), and death chests are placed properly on death by creeper explosion.

Version: 1.13.3
Love this plugin, any chance for a 1.14 update? Right now if we use this as is it causes inventories to duplicate

Very good and simple Plugin! Very useful especially for RPG Servers. I would like to help with a german language file. I also have a suggestion: It should be possible to edit the death sign on a chest :)

Keep up the good work!

Thanks! The sign text can be edited in the language files. If you have a complete translation, send me the yaml file and I will include it in future versions.

Version: 1.13.1-beta1
----------------------------------
It works!!
Thanks you too much :3

Version: 1.13.0-beta1
The plugin work correctly, but there's a bug
If a player die the chest is created, alright
If any player open the chest and close it without pick the items and another player or the same player try to open the chest again the message "Deathchest is currently being accesed by another player"appears and it only works if the server is restarted...

I was unable to reproduce this behavior. Please try the newly released 1.13.1-beta1 version, and let me know if the problem persists. Thank you for the report.

Version: 1.7.0-beta4
What about this plugin? Simply fantastic and works perfectly in 1.13.2. Thank you for having had the patience to make such an amazing plugin.

Version: 1.7.0-beta4
great plugin works great on 1.12.2, hope it works on 1.13.1 also
........................

Version: 1.7.0-beta4
I have a very intensive server with all my plugins, I swapped out NPC bodies for not only server performance but simplicity to the new players and... I am by far impressed with this plugin.
It works perfectly, Will help reduce lag, and helps the players organize their gear on retrieval.

Version: 1.7.0-beta4
Amazing plugin, wish there was a way to broadcast coordinates of where the chest was placed to the entire server after the default 1 hour time limit is reached for claiming a chest.. That way it could be more of a race to claim a chest.

Version: 1.7.0-beta4
Everything's great, its just one thing.
When a player is killed by a mob or player, their loot is dropped, not stored in a chest. I use 1.12, so maybe that's it. Please fix this! I would rate it 5 stars when it is!

Version: 1.7.0-beta4
Update 1.11.2 minecraft server?..............................................................................

Version: 1.4.2
Great plugin. Hoping for dynmap integration. So far no "real" problems like many others have. Keep up the great work.

Version: 1.4.2
Excellent plugin! Especially in combination with SavageDeathCompass. Puts all items in a chest with a sign, thus protecting them from other players (optionally) AND automates deleting the chest. Allows you to have there be a penalty for dying without being too harsh.

Version: 1.4.2
