Death Drops

When dying you no longer loose your entire inventory. Now you only drop a random amount of each item on death.

How Items Drop

Easy items (i.e. Dirt, Rotten Flesh etc.) can drop up to a stack of items on death
Regular items (i.e. Iron Ingot, Gold Ingot etc.) can drop up to 32 items on death
Rare items (i.e. Diamonds, Netherite Ingots etc.) can drop up to 16 items on death
Ultra Rare items (i.e. Dragon Egg, Nether Stars etc.) never drop on death
Armor & Tools don't get dropped instead they take damage upon dying until they break
Elytra, Tridents & Food Stick items drop once they reach 1 durability upon dying
