Prevent Item Loss in Dangerous Situations

How the Mod Protects Your Items

Unlike normal item drops, corpses don't despawn naturally. Your gear stays safe indefinitely, giving you time to prepare and return to your death location without rushing.

Safety in Hazardous Environments

Water and Lava: Corpses float safely in liquids, keeping your items accessible even if you died in an ocean or lava lake.

The Void: If you fall into the void, your corpse hovers just above the damage zone, preventing your items from being lost forever.

Mob Protection: Corpses cannot be moved by punches, pistons, or fishing rods, so mobs and contraptions won't scatter your gear.

Optional Despawn Timer

If you want an extra challenge, use /trigger config to enable a custom despawn timer. This forces you to retrieve your items within a time limit or lose them permanently.

Ownership Lock

Enable item locking in the config to ensure only you can take items from your corpse, preventing theft on multiplayer servers.
