Death Mechanics

Death is an unfortunate fact of life. However, we can make it a minor inconvenience here.

Upon dying, a couple of things happen: a return point is set and a chest is dropped. The return point is a convenient method for you to return to your area of death. This can be done through the /back command. There is no penalty or limitation on this command, only that it doesn't work after five minutes.

Additionally, a chest shall spawn whenever you die. While this is not guaranteed, most cases should generate a chest. This chest will contain your items at your point of death. If the chest cannot be placed, the items will simply fall to the ground. Each death chest will last one hour, as long as the player is logged in. If the player is logged out, the timer will stop. This timer does not tick if the server is offline. This chest will generate under most circumstances: if you die above the build limit, it will be placed in the highest part of the map possible; if you die in the Void, it will be placed in the lowest point.

These 'death chests' cannot be opened or destroyed by other players. Additionally, they cannot be built around until destroyed. If the owner empties their death chest or breaks it, the chest will decay shortly after. In the future, a limit may be placed on the maximum allowed chests for a single player.
