Features

All features are highly configurable and well documented both in the config file and the wiki.

Enabled by Default:

  • Preserve only some items on death - think of it as a filtered /gamerule keepInventory.
    • Multiple criteria, including a manual safe list, by item type, ad-hoc soulbound system, and optionally by pure chance.
    • For more details, see the wiki page.
    • Inspired by Starbound's death system.
  • Give dropped items a glowing outline, helping you find your way back. Recommended to increase your Entity View Distance!
  • Void Immunity for items - they will be teleported to a safe place instead of despawning.
  • Automatic moving of your items to their original slots
  • Logging of your coordinates at death in chat
  • Saving of inventories upon death, and allowing admins to restore them if needed

Disabled by Default:

  • Several config presets to get you started - use /ld config presets. See the wiki page
  • Preserve some or all of your experience on death.
  • Item & XP drops can work on a per-player basis too - see the wiki page on Per-Player mode
  • Give items an extended (or infinite!) lifespan, putting less pressure on players.
  • Add immunities to your items for fire, lava, explosions and cacti.
