PearlKeeper
A lightweight Paper plugin that ensures ender pearls survive everything — logouts, deaths, and server restarts. Built specifically to patch AuthMe's broken pearl handling, but works as a standalone solution on any Paper server.
The Problem
On cracked/offline servers using AuthMe, ender pearls in stasis chambers get destroyed when players log off. AuthMe's built-in recreateEnderPearls option attempts to fix this but frequently fails with "Failed to spawn player ender pearl" errors when the chunk isn't loaded.
This breaks stasis chamber-based mechanisms entirely.
What PearlKeeper Does
- On logout — saves all your active pearls to disk and removes the live entities
- On login — waits for AuthMe to finish authentication, then respawns pearls exactly where they were with their original velocity
- On death — intercepts pearls before vanilla Minecraft deletes them, restores them on respawn
- On server restart — pearls persist across full server shutdowns
- Force-loads chunks before respawning to prevent the "skipping" errors
Setup
- Drop the jar into
plugins/ - Restart your server
- (Recommended) Set
recreateEnderPearls: falsein your AuthMe config to prevent pearl duplication.
No commands, no permissions, no configuration needed.
