DeathOnTheSpot v1.3.5 – You choose where your bits go when you die. Nobody wants their bits to fall in the wrong hands!<\/p>\n
DeathOnTheSpot is a Kotlin-based Minecraft plugin for Paper servers that revolutionizes death mechanics. Instead of
\nscattering items across the world, players’ inventories are securely saved upon death and can be retrieved from a
\ndesignated “death chest” set by administrators.<\/p>\n
This plugin is the first of “Matt’s Plugins” – expect more to come!<\/p>\n
## Key Features<\/p>\n
– Secure Inventory Preservation: No more lost items! Full inventories are serialized to JSON and stored persistently
\n– Admin-Controlled Retrieval: Set a death chest location with \/setdeathchest \u2013 players interact with it to access a
\nvirtual GUI for safe item recovery
\n– Double Chest Support: Automatic detection and configuration of double chests with 54-slot per page storage capacity
\n– Advanced GUI System: Two view modes – “All Together” and “By Death” with intelligent item stacking and prioritization
\n– One-by-One Retrieval: Items are removed from storage only when claimed, preventing accidental loss
\n– Automatic Cleanup: Data files are deleted once inventories are fully retrieved
\n– Comprehensive Admin Tools: Full command suite for managing death chests and player data
\n– Migration System: Seamless upgrades from previous versions with automatic data migration<\/p>\n
## How It Works<\/p>\n
1. Player dies \u2192 Inventory saved to plugins\/DeathOnTheSpot\/death_data\/{UUID}.json
\n2. Admin sets chest with \/setdeathchest while looking at a chest block
\n3. Players right-click the chest \u2192 Open advanced GUI \u2192 Click items to retrieve
\n4. Items vanish from storage upon claim with proper amount tracking
\n5. Double chest detection automatically handles adjacent chest placement<\/p>\n
