About

A highly configurable mod/datapack that adds lootable corpses where the player died

✨ Now with Trinkets Updated, Trinkets Canary and Trinkets Continued support! ✨

Features

Corpses 💀

Instead of players dropping their items around randomly, they will now leave behind a corpse with their skin and name from which they can later retrieve their stuff.

To retreieve the items from the corpse the player must locate where they died and sneak near the corpse
(or right click on it if the option is selected) which will make the items appear back in their original slots and the corpse will disappear.

A chat message with the death coordinates will be sent when a player dies

There is no despawn timer unless added via the config screen

Coprse Finder ⚙️

The Corpse Finder Screen allows player to see all currently loaded corpses and their coordinates

It can be accessed by typing: /trigger corpse_finder
