What does Death Chest do?
Death Chest automatically saves your items when you die by storing them safely inside barrels, preventing you from losing your inventory.Why does it use barrels instead of chests?
Barrels provide easier access and help keep the system lightweight by avoiding unnecessary chest usage.What happens if my inventory is full?
The system automatically handles overflow by splitting your items between multiple barrels. Hotbar + crafting inventory are stored in one barrel. Remaining inventory items are stored in another barrel.How do I find my Death Chest?
After dying, you will receive your death coordinates in chat and can use the tracking compass to locate your Death Chest.Can players abuse the Death Chest system?
No. The built-in blacklist system allows server owners to block specific players from using Death Chest if they abuse the system.Does it support multiplayer servers?
Yes. Death Chest is designed for multiplayer environments and supports multiple players at the same time.Will this create server lag?
The datapack is optimized to be lightweight and uses barrels instead of large chest systems to reduce unnecessary lag and more.Are my armor and offhand items saved?
Yes. Your equipment and inventory items are safely stored when the Death Chest is created.What happens to the player's head?
The player's head is stored as a collectible item inside the hotbar barrel after death.Does it support modded inventories?
Yes, as long as the mod handles items around Minecraft's default inventory system. If a mod adds new inventory slots that Minecraft does not recognize, those items may not be saved and could be lost.Are experience levels saved?
No, unfortunately. The mod/datapack is designed to stay as close to vanilla Minecraft as possible, keeping the original death system while preventing the frustration of permanently losing your items.
