[Archived] Blessing of Return
Blessing of Return adds a Magic enchantment that can bring an enchanted item back after its owner dies, with a 10% chance of failure.
What it does
Players apply the Blessing of Return enchantment to items that have durability. When the player dies, an enchanted item is returned to them. The return carries a cost, and it does not always work: a roll of 10% fails, and a failed item still comes back, but only with 5% of its durability left.
The enchantment is configured through three values. Damage Percent sets how much of the item's total durability is taken as damage. Damage Type chooses how that damage is applied: Set Percent makes the item's damage equal Damage Percent, while Remove Percent removes damage equal to that share of the item's total durability. Damage Chance sets the percent chance that Damage Percent is applied to an enchanted item at death.

Only the server has to run it: players may add it, but a server that runs it does not require it on clients.

Key features
Keep items on death
Items enchanted with Blessing of Return are returned to the player after death, which keeps them from being lost.
Configurable damage
Damage Percent and Damage Type decide how much durability is spent on the return and whether it is set or removed.
Chance to apply damage
Damage Chance sets how often the configured damage is applied at death, so the cost is not fixed.
Failure case
A 10% chance to fail still returns the item, with only 5% durability left.
