After Life
After Life
AfterLife adds a whole new aspect to your server. Players who die will now become ghosts who can haunt other players and spectate the world for a predefined time. Ghosts can have special effects or powers, and hant other players with spooky sounds!
I wanted this plugin to work with everyone's servers, so I've made almost every feature of this plugin easily configurable. It can run out of the box, or you can spend time customising it to your server's needs.
Features
- Add a afterlife experience to your server!
- Players will become ghosts when they die.
- Ghosts cannot break or place blocks.
- Regular players cannot see ghosts.
- Ghosts can have a configurable effect when walking.
- Choose if ghosts should have item drop and pickup disabled.
- Ghosts can create a scary sound when they sneak. (To haunt)
- You can choose if you want ghosts to be able to chat or PvP.
- Easy WorldGuard integration! Disable AfterLife in certain regions.
- Almost every feature of this plugin is configurable.
- Auto update checking.
These are the features as of AfterLife v1.3. If you do not see the version available to download quite yet, it may be that the update hasn't been approved by the Bukkit Approval Staff just yet.

Suggestions? Tickets?
If you have a suggestion for AfterLife, first check if the feature is already listed in the Planned Features section or as a Ticket. Then please submit a ticket explaining your suggestion. Please do not suggest features in comments or PM me them as it is hard to track for me, and I may never even see it. By submitting your suggestions as a ticket, I can easily track the request and update my progress. Thanks, nxtguy.
Donations
I put hours of work into AfterLife as a learning experience and hobby. If you enjoy using AfterLife, please consider supporting the development and donating to keep the plugin going. Thanks!
A big thanks to MisterMystery for supporting the development of this project and donating!
Sorry that took so long. I've made the ticket, thanks! :)
@Drakortha
Hmm, I'll look into hooking in to VanishNoPacket to make sure ghosts can't see vanished players. :) If you could submit a ticket just to remind me, that would be great. :D
It seemed to work this time when using Spigot instead of Bukkit, that's odd..
On another topic; I believe this plugin conflicts a little bit with vanishnopacket. Ghost players are able to see vanished admins.
@Drakortha
Are you talking about these messages?
"[AfterLife] You have died and have spawned as a ghost!" and "[AfterLife] You have been turned back in to a human!"
What AfterLife version are you using?
Try typing '/afterlife reload' after you change the messages.yml file.
EDIT: I just tried it on the latest AfterLife version and it worked fine for me. :/
Hi, I was wondering if there was some way to customize the messages on death & respawn? I tried changing it in the messages.yml but with no luck - the messages in-game stay at default even after a server restart.
Thanks, Aaron
@KevinABC96
Yes and I have replied. :)
All documentation pages have been moved from this BukkitDev project to the AfterLife wiki on Volcanic Plaza.

@KevinABC96
The way it works right now is you need to decide if you want to use full vanish, or part vanish mode. The permission node for seeing ghosts are something I could add. Please submit a ticket with a full explanation. Thank you. :)
@Klosjaarrr
Hmm, it works fine on my test server. Does the regular fullVanish mode work fine? Could you try it with no other plugins installed? See if it works then. Thanks! :)
@KevinABC96
If you're using the fullVanish mode, ghosts will be invisible for players but visible for other ghosts. If you're not using fullVanish mode, then ghosts will be partly invisible for everyone. (Players and other ghosts.)
I tried to implement the newest version of the plugin nxtguy, but the ghost feature (as requested) doesn't seems to work o.O I tried to change the config to both true and false, and restarted the server (not just /reload) but the ghosts are still fully invisible. Any ideas what may cause this?
@qwerty6621
The lifespan is how much time a player will stay as a ghost when they die.
Example: I die, I will become a ghost for 20 seconds. Then after 20 seconds I'll turn back into human.
ghosts: lifespan: 20
lifespan what?
ghosts 20 Death? ã…¡> hunman?
hunman 20 Death? ã…¡> ghost ?
After Life v1.5 has just been sent for approval!
v1.5 includes the option for ghosts to be able to fly, and be partly invisible! Until the Bukkit Approval Staff approves the file you can download it at Volcanic Plaza, by clicking here.
I'm also in the process of creating a Wiki for all my plugins, including AfterLife. Software is only as good as the documentation, so I created this wiki that everyone can write in and improve!
It is still a work in progress, but if anyone wants to help out just head over to the AfterLife Wiki page, and click the edit button.
Thanks for everyone's support! :)
@fjutte
This is something that would take some work, but it is possible if you needed to right click a sign or something that spawns at your death point.
Please submit this suggestion as a ticket so I can track it's development progress, etc. Thanks!
@fjutte
that is not possible.
@nxtguy
thanks for the response.
sounds cool and all that.. but, could you make so you can run (float?) to your deathpoint and revive yourself? like in World of Warcraft. Then I'd definitely use your plugin for my server.
+ automatic flymode + auto revival when at coords for deathpoint, would be awesome.
@DekuHero
Yes, that will probably be the next feature I will work on when I work on AfterLife.
As the plugin is now in its mature state I'm trying to work on my other newer plugins a bit, but this is something I want to add for sure!
nxtguy will you be implementing klosjaarrr's suggestion into the plugin?
If so that would be beyond cool
@shades161
I have both of these plugins and I can say they work perfectly together. Makes the whole experience better, especially if you set Afterlife to allow players to open chests. When they die, they can open their gravestone chest and retreive the items.
In my server, dying offers you 90 seconds of peace.
