Coffins
When a player dies, Coffins places a coffin at the spot where they fell, holding the items and experience they were carrying.
What it does
A coffin is a storage unit that spawns on death and keeps the dropped items and stored experience. It acts as a double chest confined to one block, so a single coffin holds a full set of inventory. The coffin shows the death coordinates to the owner, and the recovery compass can be tweaked to let a player ping their own unlooted coffins. Coffins can also be crafted and used as an ordinary storage unit in the world.
The mod controls who may open a coffin. Server owners can decide whether players may access coffins belonging to others, which determines whether coffin robbing is possible on a given server. The percentage of experience stored in a coffin on death is set in the configuration. Trinkets Support is included, so accessory slots are carried through death as well.
Coffins is published for Fabric only, on client and server, and needs Fabric API. Builds cover 1.19.2 – 26.1.2 across 11 release versions, and the mod is released under a custom license that is not open source.
