DeadChest
Ultimate solution to protect inventory on death
For the full chest experience, use Deadchest with Lootbox!
Keep a player's inventory in a chest (deadchest) when he dies. Deadchest is placed at the location where the player dies with a holographic text with the owner and a timer of remaining time before the chest disappear ! When the timer end, the chest is destroy with all the content in it.

I get this too, but on 1.12.2
We noticed a problem on our server. One player died and the chest appeared, then another player (not the chest owner) destroyed the chest of the other player in Creative Mode. We had the problem that the hologram display was frozen and didn't disappear (the countdown didn't count down either). Finally I had to remove it with the minecraft:kill command.
Server Version: Paper 159
Addon Version: 1.5
In reply to Keldor:
Thanks for your feedback ! I will invest the problem and patch the issue for the next update !
To prevent the item drops execute the following command /gamerule keepInventory true in every world. If you use Multiverse use this command for every world /mv gamerule keepInventory true
There are some issues: First is the item duplication, when you die you drop your inventory and the chest also have another inventory of your so you can duplicate it. Second is the spawning of the chest, if you die on half block like camp fire or slabs, the chest will remove the block and spawn there.
In reply to youtoyokoderaaaa:
If when you die you drop your inventory and the chest, it's not normal ! Because deadchest remove your inventory on you and cancel the drop of items. It is necessarily a conflict with an other plugin interacting with player death and/or inventory. I can't control what other plugin do.
For the second point, it's actually a bug ! I will patch that in the next update of the plugin. Thanks for your feedback !
There's a message that spams my console every 3-5 seconds. It doesn't affect the game but is very annoying as trying to read my console is almost impossible as this long message just constantly spams bringing me to the newest message. Was wondering if there's a way to stop this from constantly spamming console. The message that appears is this:

Thanks for your feedback ! I will patch this in the next update.
In reply to crylonz:
I also get this error but only after changing the default configuration.
In reply to Forge_User_11988489:
Fixed in 1.5 version.
In reply to crylonz:
please patch it
Gotta Issue - I'm running this plugin through multicraft and when people leave the server with a dead chest down they cannot be opened at all. I can change the settings in the config files but changing the false to true or true to false does nothing. I cannot remove these chests at all please help.
In reply to NoobGotSkill:
What is your Minecraft version ? Have you any error display on the console ? Do you play in online mode ? Can I see your config file please ?
EDIT : I think I finally found the bug, it will be solved in version 1.4 which will be released soon !
if a player dies in the lava or emptiness, where does the chest go?
In reply to llwinchester_hots:
In Lava or in Water at the position you dead
In reply to crylonz:
so void the player loses everything?
In reply to llwinchester_hots:
Yes. it's a good idea of feature to handle in the future.
Big problems:
OPs can't override this plugin
There should also probably be a timer that says how long it lasts after which anyone can get rid of it (Let's say somebody dies on public property)
In reply to Anormalcat:
Thanks for your feedback ! I will make updates soon to fix that.
EDIT : Update is partially done
Plugin spawns chest for a few seconds then it despawns leaving no way to get your chest back. Also items arent in the config. I changed the deadChestDuration to true making it so it wouldnt despawn after the 600 seconds as its normally set but instead makes it despawn instantly.
