[EMBER] Death Totems

Ember Death Totems turns every player death into an immersive tombstone recovery moment. Instead of items exploding across the ground, a glowing ember-powered gravestone rises at the death location — complete with holograms, a boss-bar tracker, recovery timers, and Vault-backed remote restore.








Players can:

• Walk back to their totem and reclaim items for free
• Use /restore remotely with optional Vault economy pricing
• Track their totem with a live boss bar (distance, direction, time)
• Recover full inventory, armor, XP, and NBT data — even after restarts

Features
Everything you need to replace vanilla death drops with a cinematic recovery system.

⚰️ Death Totem System
A tombstone spawns exactly where the player died. Each totem displays:

• Player name
• Death coordinates
• Remaining recovery time
• Animated ember and fire effects

Boss Bar Tracker
Players receive a live boss bar pointing them back to their totem:

• Distance to the totem
• Compass direction (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW)
• Time remaining before expiration
• Can be toggled on or off!

Remote Restore
Players can recover their inventory from anywhere with /restore. Full Vault economy integration with configurable pricing — make remote recovery free, paid, or premium-only.

Protected Recovery
Only the owner can interact with their totem by default. Optional admin bypass node included for staff support.


Persistent Storage
Totems survive server restarts, crashes, and reloads. All inventory and XP data is safely serialized to disk.
