We Will Be Waiting

About

We Will Be Waiting is a datapack that makes it so items dropped on death will wait for you.

Features:

• Items dropped on death:
  • Will never despawn
  • Are invulnerable
  • Will come out of the end void and float where you can pick them up
  • Can glow (configurable, off by default because lag)
  • Dont spread as much (configurable)
• Configurable slots to keep (default: armour, offhand, hotbar)
• Waypoint marker when close
• Look at death pos on respawn

Configuration

The datapack can be configured by extracting it and opening its files in a text editor such as notepad.

Notable locations for config are:

• /data/easy_death/function/death/create_death_item.mcfunction
  • Make items glow (warning: laggy)
  • Change / disable spread
• /data/easy_death/function/death/handle_death_items.mcfunction
  • Change what items drop
  • Switch to old way that doesnt use keepinventory (also make sure to change init in loop to turn keepinventory off)

Note: Yes it's namespaced easy_death, I originally made it have a very similar name to the mod

Inspirations

This datapack is meant to be an expanded remake of a mod called Easy Deaths.
