by TheRandomLabs

VanillaDeathChest is a Fabric utility that places the items a player drops on death into a chest at the place of death.

FabricClient or server, optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.16.1 – 1.16.5

What it does

When a player dies, the containers placed at the death site hold the items that were in the inventory, so the drops are kept together instead of scattered on the ground. The mod needs Fabric API, and it can run on a client, a server or both, with neither side required. Builds exist for 1.16.1 – 1.16.5 and are released under the MIT License, so the source code is open.

Key features

  1. Chest at the death site

    Items a player drops on death are placed into a chest at the place where the player died.

  2. Items kept in one place

    Gear and supplies stay in a single container, so they are not left scattered across the ground.

  3. Public source code

    The source code and issue tracker are published, and the project is open source under the MIT License.
