The ultimate solution to protect player inventories on death
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.
