Corpse Scavengers

When a player dies, the location is marked with an invisible anchor. Nearby hostile mobs within a 32-block radius will pathfind toward that spot over the next few minutes.

Mob Behavior

Mobs that reach the death location and linger there briefly will consume the lingering essence, gaining:

• Permanent strength boost
• Slightly increased health

These effects stack if multiple players have died nearby, creating dangerous hotspots where mobs become noticeably more formidable.

Details

• Invisible markers are placed as armor stands and despawn after 5 minutes if not consumed
• Scavenger mobs: Zombies, skeletons, spiders
• Non-scavengers: Creepers (ignore death sites)
• Dying repeatedly in the same area makes that zone increasingly hazardous
• Encourages players to either avoid repeat deaths or clear out empowered mobs before they become overwhelming

Technical

• Runs on a simple tick schedule checking for player death events and mob proximity
• Minimal performance impact
• No player commands required—operates entirely automatically
• Works in singleplayer and multiplayer
• Server operators can reload normally
