DeadMansChest
Ever go out mining or fall into a pit of lava, or somehow die? Ever wish there was an easier way to find your stuff or that it stuck around longer after death? Introducing Dead Man's Chest! With non-destructive glowstone towers (configurable) with a configurable height so you can easily find your stuff! Best of all the glowstone doesn't drop anything when mined (default), so you don't have to worry about players dying just to get free glowstone! This is the official continuation of the PlayerChestDeath plugin on the forum. I have contacted the original author by email and have official approval to do whatever I want with this plugin.
Features
- No death chest if the player doesn't have anything
- An option to require players to have a chest (or two for a double chest) in their inventory upon death to get a death chest.
- An option to have doublechest death chests! (with permissions support)
- Quick loot death chests!
- Death chests disappear instantly after being quick looted
- Permissions support!
- Option to have a non-destructive glowstone tower over your chest
- Configurable glowstone tower height
- LWC locking support
- Option to have death chests disappear after a certain time
- Option to have the rest of your items that don't fit in the chest drop on the ground naturally or to just disappear
- Very configurable!

Guys, use permissions and read the description. You can make it only apply to certain people, and change when the chest "goes away" after a certain time.
I would like to add this mod to my server. But I am worried that it will be a little bit overpowered. I think to give an option to automatically delete the old deathchest and spill the items on the ground if you die on the way to the chest would be a good idea. So you still have to be careful when U go to get your stuff, but don't have to rush like u would have to without the deathchest plugin.
Love this plugin. I have a very epic mountain custom terrain on my server and so its easy to fall off I like giving them this handicap.
SUGGESTION!
1.It would be cool if players can type a command and it will display where their deadchest is located via coordinates.
2. Ability to toggle if everyone can use it or not. I plan on giving this to certain members only, not everyone, I know many servers would want to have control of who gets to use this feature or not.
Does this work for 1.2.5?
What is quick looting?
Are chest supposed to disappear when emptied?
If the player was not carrying anything, how about not deploying a chest.
Thanks
@crash2323
It works fine. I've been using it on my server with no issues.
Is this being updated for 1.2.4? Will this work until it is updated or no?
Thanks Tux2, I meant to say bPermissions. No I didnt negate the permissions for the other groups.
@markdf
Permissions are working fine for me. Make sure to negate the permission node for chests for those groups that you don't want them on. (Oh, I use PermissionsEx by the way... not sure what you are using to get those crazy permission errors)
Permissions not working for 1.2.3
I only want a certain group to have this feature, however all groups get a deadmanschest when they die.
Great plugin though.
@Deaf719wow
Not at the moment, I'll see about implementing a feature like that in the future. Sounds cool.
Is there a way so that a chest goes to a certain spot rather than where the player died? I would like the chests to go to a certain building on my server.
How do you quick loot?
And what is the point of this setting: "#Should players be allowed to loot death chests when they sneak click on one?"
Why would you care if someone is sneaking or not when clicking the chest?
@rustymetal
Yes, this is still an active plugin! I haven't had a chance to update it recently but I'm going to update it soon. Sneak/loot, and auto chest deletion DOES work for me so I need info on why they aren't working for people.
Is this still a active plugin?
It works but not very well. I haven't had any LWC problems or World Guard as others have said.
But I'm sure everyone using this knows, Sneak/Loot does not work Auto-Chest deletion does not work.
Is the author attempting to fix the bugs or is this dead like bukkit is ?
Doesn't work at all well with worldguard or LWC. I need this plugin, but I need it to work. Are there any alternatives out there?
@Noppes
I'd like to see that too.
Is it possible to prevent deadmanchest creation when a players inventory is empty?
quicklooting doesnt work, LWC protects the chest to someone other than the person who died. HELP?FIX?
using permissionsEx.
Should this kind of comment be put in a ticket? I'm new here, sorry.
@TwiztedIndian
While sneaking hit the death chest that you want to loot. BAM! It's looted.
