DeathBukkit
DeathBukkit
General
DeathBukkit allows players items' to be preserved after death, so that they can be recovered. Specifically, when a player dies with death chests/signs enabled (see the "Use" section below), a chest will be created at the death point, containing the items which were in the inventory of the player prior to being dead (this is highly configurable). A sign will also be created (again, configurable), indicating who the owner of the chest is, as well as the time and date when they died. Right-clicking on this sign will automatically recover the chest's contents, and destroy the chest.
While several other "death chest" plugins do already exist, they are all either out-of-date or abandoned. This plugin is intends to supersede those plugins.
A server owner could easily change the configuration file and customize timings such that:
A chest will be inaccessible by only the dead player for X minutes. A chest will break after Y minutes.
News
DeathBukkit Release v1.0.1
DeathBukkit v1.0.1 is a huge update. It adds multiple commands, different chest types, many bugfixes and better permissions system. It was the product of a lot of effort and consists of more than 1,409 new lines of code.
DeathBukkit Release v0.3.0
DeathBukkit v0.3.0 re-adds the ability to make chests exist of an infinite amount of time (no expiry). It also stops chests from "auto-expiring" when the sign is clicked and the player's inventory is filled.
DeathBukkit Release v0.2.1
DeathBukkit v0.2.1 fixes a potential TileEntity CCE.
Use
Configuration
Just drop the plugin in your plugins directory and next time the server is run it will automatically generate it's config file for you. The 2 options in the plugin config file are self explanatory (seconds until unlock and seconds to expiration) and the defaults are:
- unlockAfter: 0
- expireAfter: 0
A value of zero indicates that the chest should unlock/expire immediately and a value less than zero indicates that the chest should never unlock/expire. Any other value is a time in seconds.
Types
DeathBukkit uses a type-based system for extra configurability. Chest types can be configured per player and define what happens when a player dies. You set a player's chest type by giving them the permission "deathbukkit.type.<name of type>" (e.g. to the set "grave" type a player should be given the "deathbukkit.type.grave" permission). If no chest type is set for a particular player, that player will not have a chest created for them.
Currently, three different death chest types exist, and they are listed below. The order of this list matters. If a player has more than one chest type set, DeathBukkit will ignore all but the type that appears first on this list.
Name | Description | Image |
---|---|---|
grave | Creates a sign at the place of death containing information about the player's death including time of day. By right-clicking the sign, items can be retrieved. | View |
doublechest | Creates two chests containig the entire contents of the player's inventory. It is located at their place of death and also includes a sign, similar to "grave". | View |
singlechest | Creates a single chests containig as much of the player's inventory that can fit. Extra items are dropped on the ground. It is located at their place of death and also includes a sign, similar to "grave". | View |
Commands
Please Note: Commands may also be prefixed with the alias /deathbukkit instead of /db.
Name | Description |
---|---|
/db | Displays your number of chests. |
/db loc | Alias for "/db loc 1". |
/db loc <num> | Displays chest <num>'s location. |
/db tp | Alias for "/db tp 1". |
/db tp <num> | Teleports you to chest <num>. |
/db reload | Reloads the config file. |
Permissions
Please Note: Wildcard *s are valid in permission nodes (e.g. "deathbukkit.commands.*" grants access to all permissions beginning with "deathbukkit.commands.").
Name | Description |

deathbukkit.command.status | Permits "/deathbukkit" |
deathbukkit.command.loc.first | Permits "/deathbukkit loc" |

About
Developer: Keeley Hoek (escortkeel)
I have to say that "DeathTpPlus" is still working fine for me on 1.4.6-R0.3 but I'm glad to see an updated one still.
If your whole inventory's full you need a double chest. I haven't tried your plugin yet, so I don't know if that's already added or not. If not, please do so :)
Other features would be deathsigns and LWC/Lockette support.
I might make a ticket for those :)
Thanks for taking this up! :)
If you need a test server let me know, also my Skype is LiLCraft.
