Keep Inventory Orbs
A cross-platform fully server-side approach to the gravestone concept introducing 'orbs' to store your inventory upon death.
Cross-platform, compatible with Minecraft Bedrock Players!
(as long as the datapack/mod is installed on a Java server)
Upon death:
- An Orb will spawn that will keep your inventory safe. [Incompatible with Backpack mods]
- A compass to help you locate your last orb will be given to you. [Customizable]
Recovering Inventory:
-
When an Orb is broken, it will attempt to restore its inventory only to its owner.
If the Orb's owner is not nearby (within 6 blocks), nothing will happen and the orb will not break.
Orb Stealing is [OFF] by default. To steal an Orb that is not yours, an Admin needs to enable it in the Menu [see below]
-
Orbs will re-equip your armor and items exactly into the slot they were.
If the slot is occupied by something else, the item will drop in the player's position.
Orb behavior:
- Orbs will always spawn on the player's death position
- Orbs will spawn in the world's minimum height if the player dies in the void
- Orbs will never despawn.
- Orbs have gravity and will fall if they have no support.
- Orbs will move upwards if they are inside of a block.
- Orbs cannot be moved by pistons
Server-side advantages
If you are a server owner or admin, installing this datapack/mod into the server makes it work for everyone!
There is no need to install it on the client side!
