Keep Inventory Orbs

A fully server-side approach to the gravestone concept introducing 'orbs' to store your inventory upon death.

Upon death:

  • An Orb will spawn that will keep your inventory safe.
  • A compass to help you locate your last orb will be given to you.

Recovering Inventory:

  • When an Orb is broken, it will attempt to restore its inventory only to its owner.
    If the Orb's owner is not nearby (within 5 blocks), nothing will happen and the orb will not break.
  • Orbs will re-equip your armor and items exactly into the slot they were.
    If the slot is occupied by something else, the item will drop in the player's position.

Orb behavior:

  • Orbs will always spawn on the player's death position

  • Orbs will spawn in the world's minimum height if the player dies in the void

  • Orbs will never despawn.

  • Orbs have gravity and will fall if they have no support.

  • Orbs will _move upwards if they are inside of a block.

  • Orbs cannot be moved by pistons

Server-side advantages

Nope, orbs will not despawn until they successfully restore its inventory to its owner.
