LootrDeathChest

LootrDeathChest is a lightweight Minecraft plugin that creates a chest containing a player's dropped items at their death location.
It is designed to be compatible with Lootr while remaining completely independent and conflict-free.

This plugin prevents items from scattering on the ground and instead stores them safely inside a chest.

Features

• Creates a death chest at the player's death location
• Stores all dropped items safely inside the chest
• Prevents item loss from despawning or scattering
• Lightweight and simple implementation
• Fully compatible with Lootr plugin (no dependency required)
• Works across multiple Minecraft versions

Compatibility

Tested and designed to run on:

• Minecraft 1.20.x
• Minecraft 1.21.x

The plugin only uses the standard Spigot/Bukkit API, which allows it to remain compatible across multiple versions.

Installation

1. Download the latest compiled .jar file.
2. Place the file inside your server's plugins folder.
3. Restart or reload the server.

/plugins/LootrDeathChest.jar

How It Works

When a player dies:

1. The plugin intercepts the dropped items.
2. A chest is placed at the death location.
3. All dropped items are stored inside the chest.

This keeps the area clean and prevents items from being lost.

Configuration

Example config.yml:

death-chest:
  remove-time: 300
  hologram: false
  protect-owner: false

You can modify these values to change how the death chest behaves.

Compatibility with Lootr

LootrDeathChest is designed to coexist with the Lootr plugin without modifying or interacting with its internal systems.

• No API linking
• No shared storage
• No conflicts
  FOR NOW

Both plugins can run side-by-side safely.
