Ghosts

Dead players turn into ghosts instead of immediately respawning at their spawn point. When a player is a ghost they can't do anything, pick up items, mine blocks, attack mobs, etc (can be changed in the config) but also become invulnerable to any sort of damage and after a certain amount of time (also configurable) will respawn back exactly where they died.

Perfect for Casual players who don't want to use keep inventory but still want to make sure their stuff doesn't despawn or for PVP players to let your victim watch as you steal their loot in front of them.

Deaths

  • Dying to lava will give fire resistance for a brief amount of time enough to get out.
  • Dying to the void will send you back to your spawnpoint.

The player list now also has a Death Tracker to track all player deaths.
