Anti-Griefing Tools Mechanics

Description:

This plugin stores a player's inventory in a chest on death for later retrieval. It has many options, but configuration and use has been kept as simple as possible.

Features:

  • Places a single or double chest at player's death location containing the player's inventory
  • Optional sign placement on chest, showing player name and death date
  • Configurable list of block types that chests can replace
  • WorldGuard, GriefPrevention, PreciousStones and Towny aware, will not place a chest where the player does not have access. Enabled individually.
  • Option to check protection plugins on chest access. Enabled individually, disabled by default.
  • added WorldGuard 7.0 compatibility.
  • Searches a configurable distance from death location to find a suitable chest location
  • Optionally require players to have chest(s) in inventory
  • Chest protection allows only owners access. Also makes chests explosion proof!
  • Optionally allow player's killer to access their chest, for pvp looting.
  • Prevent concurrent access to chests when killer looting is enabled.
  • Optional quick-loot feature allows one click (sneak-punch) chest looting
  • Configurable expiration time for death chests, at which point they will break and drop their contents
  • Custom messages and language localization
  • Per world enabled in configuration
  • Uses sqlite for persistent storage
  • Prevents creative mode players from opening death chests
  • Optionally prevent players from placing items in death chests
  • Optional sound effects!
  • A perfect compliment to SavageDeathCompass and SavageGraveyards
