In reply to ifrancoqrz:
There is a special command for that /dc repair (need admin permission) next to the hologram to remove it.
when someone doesnt claim there deathchest the chest disappears but the hologram stays?
In reply to Chrisisthegreatest970:
No, hologram should disappears with the deadchest
In reply to crylonz:
I have the same problem, it worked fine but suddenly the hologram of a death remains after taking the chest ...
How can I remove it? I don't get the way
and it’s just awkward to do it floating on my server’s dock hahha

Hello,
Q: I was wondering if you can add an option in the config to allow other plugins to add things to the death chest. ie:like player head plugins like this one
https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/player-heads or a data pack like the player head drops on this website https://vanillatweaks.net/picker/datapacks/
or it drops on the ground,
-Thank you
In reply to cookie_manplayz:
Hi, if I understand well your idea, I need to make an API to allow other plugins to interact with Deadchest. I think is not a good solution with just a config file.
That need a lot of work on my side but I keep your idea !
Thanks for your feedback !
In reply to crylonz:
Can't wait
I will definitely keep an eye out for the update
Hello,
Q: can you setup a config option to restore items directly to the player instead of dropping them on the ground? (except slots that have items in them when opening a deadchest)
+and preferably to the same slot as before
Thank you.
Great plugin!
In reply to leasoncre:
I will see what I can do for that !
Thanks for your suggestion
Sounds nice! I am searching for a plugin like yours, but I want to 'sell' the inventory back to the player when the despawntime is exceeded (e.g. 5 Minutes). Before that time it's free. When a player dies in lava the inventory should be always payed because all burnt. Maybe the player could fill the chest with 5 diamond blocks instead of just left-click on the chest. Then the chest disappears and the player get back his inventory incl. armor. When a player refuses to buy or cannot effort to buy the inventory back and dies again the first chest disappears.
Is something like that in the pipeline? :D

Hey, nice idea, I add it to the to-do list of the plugin. Thanks for your feedback ! :)
In reply to crylonz:
Hi crylonz, nice thank you! I'll wait for that.
Hey! Our players are having an issue where their chests are disappearing on death in lava and not teleporting nearby as it should. Also, I think there needs to be a suggestion that any new chest made should replace the inventory inside with the old chest's content. Or at least make it a setting we can enable. We have a lot of players getting very frustrated.
We're on CraftBukkit/Spigot, Minecraft Java 1.15.1
In reply to Momma_JiBi:
Hey, thanks for your report ! have you anything showing on the console ? if a player dies in lava the deadchest should be at the position where the player die (can be under lava).
For your suggestion, I'm not sure to understand what you want.
Crylonz.
In reply to crylonz:
Yes, I've teleported to the location the console lists. It's never there and there's never any hologram. But the chest was in, because their next chests have only any new items they died with.
On that note, my suggestion is that, when someone dies currently, only the first chest they get has their original items in it. I'm suggesting that the original items they had on the first death get transferred into the next new death chest if they die while trying to get the first chest.
I discovered two small issues: When you use the command /dc with no parameters, nothing shows up. The same goes for if you use /dc X, where X is a parameter that doesn’t exist. Shouldn’t it, in both cases, show you a list of the /dc parameters?
The second issue is that when you use /dclist, it just says ”/dclist” in chat, even when you do have dead chests in the world.
In reply to Forge_User_49840962:
Thanks for your report !
/dclist is now /dc list (with a space), i forgot to remove the /dclist command :)
hello, i have a problem, the chest is not created if the player dies in the nether or the end due to a bed explosion, the holograms appear without a problem and in other case the chest is created normally, also there is no error of any kind in the console, and chestData does have the chest and item data
i am playing in 1.14.4 with the 3.0 version of the plugin
In reply to void_spren_:
Hi, thanks for your report I will make some test to understand what going on in this case !
