# LootrDeathChest<\/p>\n
**LootrDeathChest** is a lightweight Minecraft plugin that creates a chest containing a player’s dropped items at their death location.
\nIt is designed to be **compatible with Lootr** while remaining completely **independent and conflict-free**.<\/p>\n
This plugin prevents items from scattering on the ground and instead stores them safely inside a chest.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
* Creates a **death chest** at the player’s death location
\n* Stores all dropped items safely inside the chest
\n* Prevents item loss from despawning or scattering
\n* Lightweight and simple implementation
\n* Fully **compatible with Lootr plugin** (no dependency required)
\n* Works across multiple Minecraft versions<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Compatibility<\/p>\n
Tested and designed to run on:<\/p>\n
* Minecraft **1.20.x**
\n* Minecraft **1.21.x**<\/p>\n
The plugin only uses the standard **Spigot\/Bukkit API**, which allows it to remain compatible across multiple versions.<\/p>\n

## How It Works<\/p>\n
When a player dies:<\/p>\n
1. The plugin intercepts the dropped items.
\n2. A chest is placed at the death location.
\n3. All dropped items are stored inside the chest.<\/p>\n
This keeps the area clean and prevents items from being lost.<\/p>\n

“`yaml
\ndeath-chest:

You can modify these values to change how the death chest behaves.<\/p>\n

## Compatibility with Lootr<\/p>\n
LootrDeathChest is designed to **coexist with the Lootr plugin** without modifying or interacting with its internal systems.<\/p>\n
* No API linking
\n* No shared storage
\n* No conflicts
\n `FOR NOW`<\/p>\n
Both plugins can run side-by-side safely.<\/p>\n
