Cenotaph

Cenotaph - A Dead Man's Chest plugin

Version: 3.0.1

Plugin Dependencies

Lockette (Optional) OR LWC (Optional)

Cenotaph is a fork of the most excellent Tombstone by Drakia. I decided to take it up and add some features I wanted (and that some users on the forums have requested).

What's a Cenotaph?

A Cenotaph is a monument to a dead person who is either buried elsewhere or whose body is not available for burial. If you think about it, it exactly fits the situation - there's no body, since you've respawned ;)

Features

When your players die, depending on how you have things set up, their items will be placed in a Dead Man's Chest for safekeeping. You can require that your players carry around chests and signs of their own at all times, or simply have the chests appear on death. You can also secure the chests with LWC3 or Lockette.

Detailed Feature List

• If the player is carrying a chest when they die, place that chest and fill it with as much of their inventory as possible
• If the player is allowed, and is carrying two chests, a large chest will spawn to catch all of their inventory
• Possible for specific groups/players to be given free chests with no need to carry one with them
• Any items that won't fit in the chest will still drop to the ground!
• Supports the Permissions plugin, will default to allowing everyone to use basic cenotaph if not available
• Supports LWC for chest AND sign protection if it is installed
• Supports Lockette for chest protection if it is installed
• Configurable timeout for LWC unprotection
• Configurable timeout for destruction of cenotaphs, works in unloaded chunks as well
• Quickloot support, right click the sign on a cenotaph to loot all items in it (your chest only!)
• Place a sign on top of the chest stating the players name and time of death
• The ability to point your compass at your cenotaph
• Customizable sign messages on the cenotaph
• Admin commands for management

Configuration

See the default config file on Github for annotations and explanations.

Config notes

• If you are going to be giving your players a free chest/sign, but don't want them to be able to retrieve those as extra items, set the noDestroy option in the Cenotaph config file.
• If you do set the noDestroy option, it is highly recommended that you set a timeout for Cenotaph removal, because even once LWC is disabled the chest is still not destroyable by any means other than quicklooting it or an admin with permissions breaking it.
• With noDestroy enabled, if a player dies without a sign, then their chest will be indestructible until it is removed by Cenotaph itself.
• It is not recommended to use the noDestroy option without the destroyQuickLoot option

Credits

@Drakia: Cenotaph was originally Tombstone, by Drakia (TheDgtl). Many thanks to him for his hard work on the original plugin.
@Acru: Thanks to Acru, the developer of Lockette, as well. His help getting the Lockette integration working as I stumbled by way though picking up Java was invaluable. :)
