Frequently asked questions

How do I set up death penalties on my server?
Create or edit the plugin's configuration file to define what happens when players die—you can drop items, remove experience, damage armor, or take money. Each penalty type has its own setting you can enable or disable based on what you want your server to enforce.
Can I make different worlds have different death penalties?
Yes, the plugin supports world-specific rules, so you can have strict penalties in a hardcore world and lighter ones in a casual survival world. Set up separate penalty configurations for each world in the config file.
Will players lose their entire inventory when they die?
No—the plugin keeps inventory enabled, but applies penalties on top of that. Players keep their items by default, but you can configure specific items to drop, experience to be removed, or armor durability to be damaged instead.
Does this work with permission groups?
Yes, you can set up different death penalties for different groups of players on your server, so admins might have lighter penalties than regular players or vice versa.
