Fixes Fun General Mechanics Role Playing

THIS ONLY SUPPORTS 1.10.2+

Description

AlternateDeath offers a different way of dying - players are instead given a spectator period, then instantly spawned. They can use a command /death within x minutes of dying to reclaim their items, but first they have to kill a zombified version of themselves!

Features

  • choose to use death zombies
  • /death command to teleport to your death location
  • disable /death command and opt to use coordinates instead
  • choose to use a death compass that expires in a configurable amount of time
  • JSON formatted chat and action bar messages
  • persistent zombies (however zombie inventories are not persistent on restart)
  • glowing zombies and baby zombies configurable
  • choose to lose items to zombies or to keep items on death
  • choose to lose a configurable amount of exp on death
  • and more stuff
