DeathBarrel spawns a barrel (or two) when a player dies and stores all their items in it.
This has the advantage that items don't get lost by despawning or burning in lava.
DeathBarrels are burn and explosion proof.

Setup
No special setup required. Just drop the plugin file into the plugins folder.
There are some optional configuration options:

• Configure plugin messages via the `config.yml` file.
• Barrels get removed when they empty. You can disable that by setting `removeOnEmpty` to `false` in the config.
• If you don't want players to spawn barrels on death deny the permission `deathbarrel.use`.
• Protect other players from accessing or destroying barrels. Set `protectFromOtherPlayers` to `true`. Players can bypass this protection if they have the `deathbarrel.accessprotected` permission.
• Enable barrel cleanup by setting `removeBarrelsAfterSeconds`. DeathBarrels older than the specified time will be automatically removed. This will also destroy their contents.

The plugin should be compatible with protection plugins like WorldGuard (tested) and only places barrels when the user has permission to build in the location they die. However, the vanilla spawn protection might not block barrels from spawning.
