ResurrectionChest

ResurrectionChest sends a player's death drops to a registered chest instead of leaving everything at the death site.

What It Currently Does​

  • one registered death chest per player
  • single and double chest support
  • optional XP storage and later return
  • optional durability loss on worn armor when death drops are routed into the chest
  • overflow items dropping at the death location if the chest is full
  • world blacklist support
  • WorldGuard / GriefPrevention aware chest registration
  • optional FreeMinecraftModels chest visuals (Wooden Chest free pack, Angelic Chest premium pack)
  • persistence across chunk unloads, world unloads, and restarts
  • a first-boot reminder for admins and a Nightbreak-style setup menu for managing content and updates

Important Behavior​

  • ResurrectionChest provides the /resurrectionchest command with the following subcommands:
    • setup — opens the Nightbreak setup menu (browse/toggle chest packs, check plugin updates, see recommended plugins, toggle automatic updates)
    • recommendedplugins — opens (or lists, for the console) the recommended companion plugins
    • downloadall — downloads the plugin update (if any) and every available ResurrectionChest content pack from Nightbreak
    • downloadallcontent — downloads every available content pack from Nightbreak
    • updatecontent (alias updateallcontent) — re-downloads only outdated installed content packs
    • forcereinstallcontent <package|all> — re-downloads a pack even when the installed version is already current
    • downloadpluginupdate — downloads a ResurrectionChest plugin update if one is available
    • reload — reloads the plugin configuration
    • clear — clears all tracked ResurrectionChest blocks, dropping each tracked chest's contents and removing the chest and sign blocks
  • Chest registration and death-drop routing both depend on resurrectionchest.use.
  • Registering a chest is treated as building: if WorldGuard or GriefPrevention denies the player build access at the chest block, the registration is refused.
  • The plugin does not lock or protect the chest. If your server allows another player to open or break that chest, ResurrectionChest does not stop them.
  • If keepInventory is active on death, ResurrectionChest does not move items.
  • If the chest's chunk is unloaded when the player dies, the plugin force-loads the chunk before accessing the chest.
  • If the registered chest is missing when the player dies, the registration is removed.
  • Only a normal chest works. Trapped chests, barrels, shulker boxes, and other containers are ignored when the sign is placed.
  • A chest that is already registered to a different player cannot be claimed; the second player is told the chest belongs to someone else.
  • Registering a new chest replaces the player's previous registration. The old chest block and everything in it stay put; only the registration and the old setup sign are removed.

Integration Note​

FreeMinecraftModels is optional. ResurrectionChest still works as a normal chest-based plugin without it. Custom chest props (the Wooden and Angelic packs) only display when FreeMinecraftModels is installed.
