##

The ultimate solution to protect player inventories on death

Description

DeadChest automatically converts a player's dropped inventory into a secure chest at the exact location of death. Each chest displays a hologram with the owner's name and a configurable countdown timer. When the timer expires, the chest and its contents are permanently removed. Fully customizable: define custom durations, create infinite chests, and choose between private (owner/admin only) or public access.
