Spill N' Drop

Drop your items when you get hurt — literally.

SpillNDrop makes taking damage more impactful. When players fall, get rammed by a goat, or are hit by a Warden's sonic boom, their inventory items may spill onto the ground.

Drop chances, supported worlds, item behavior, and individual features can be configured by server administrators.
