About Your Items Are Safe
From Modrinth💀 Spawns a chest and armor stand with player items on death, a gravestone alternative.
Your Items Are Safe is a mod which can function as an alternative to the existing gravestone mods, by using only vanilla blocks. When a player dies, it will keep their items from despawning. It does this by creating an armor stand with equiped gear and a chest with the items from the inventory. A sign will be placed on the chest with the player's name. If the inventory does not fit into one chest, another one above it is generated. The armor stand stands above the chest. All features can be turned on/off via the config. If a player dies in the void, the chest will be placed above the death coordinates.
To keep it balanced the chests and armor stand can only be created if the player has enough wood in its inventory. A chest requires either 2 logs, 8 planks or an actual chest. The armor stand requires 1 log or 3 planks. The mod searches for logs first, then planks, then chests. If it can't find the raw material needed, the chest and armor stand is not generated. If you'd like to always generate them, even without raw materials, this can be set in the config file as well.
The mod also contains the functionality to generate a player head and put it on the armor stand. This makes it easier to identify which player has died where. If the player had a helmet equiped, it is placed inside the chest. Enabled by default. But again, this can be disabled in the config.
All available config options:
Show Spoiler
mustHaveItemsInInventoryForCreation default true
When enabled and a player dies without any items in their inventory, no chest or armor stand is generated.
addPlayerHeadToArmorStand default true
If a player head should be added to the armor stand. If a helmet is worn, this will be placed into the chest.
createArmorStand default true
Whether an armor stand should be created on death. If disabled, the player's gear will be placed inside the chest.
createSignWithPlayerName default true
Whether a sign should be placed on the chest with the name of the player who died there.
needChestMaterials default true
Whether materials are needed for the chest which spawns on death. This can be the actual chest or the costs in raw materials.
needArmorStandMaterials default true
Whether materials are needed for the armor stand to spawn on death. This can be the actual armor stand or the costs in raw materials.
needSignMaterials default false
Whether materials are needed for the creation of the sign when 'createSignWithPlayerName' is enabled.
ignoreStoneMaterialNeed default true
Only relevant if 'needChestAndArmorStandMaterials' is enabled. An armor stand needs 1 stone slab to be created, but I think it's alright to ignore that requirement. If enabled, no stone is needed in the inventory on death.
