# Semi-perma death
\nWhenever a player dies all of their progression via Vanilla Minecraft and EssentialsX is erased. Including their player data files, player advancements, economy balance, sethome(s) etc.<\/p>\n

# Current Features
\n– Wipes player progression on the given server.
\n– **Optionally**, via the config file, server admins can ban the crafting of certain item(s). (needs thorough testing, please help!)<\/p>\n

Was being used on our insanely difficult arctic survival server, figured the public might want something like this as well. So I updated it to allow configuring the prefix for the message displayed to a player upon their death.<\/p>\n

Example of the message displayed to a player upon their death:
\n![Message displayed upon a players death](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/4f904753adda24d5fdd60b0e4bf93be64f88db56.png)<\/p>\n

Easy to configure!
