Corpse

🔄 Coming Soon — The Corpse Extension is still in development and is not available to players yet.

Spawns a corpse at the death location holding the player's inventory and experience.

The Corpse Extension creates a corpse where a player died. It holds their inventory and experience until someone loots it or it expires, and it renders through whichever entity backend you already use.

Key features

• Rendered per viewer — every player nearby sees the corpse, each with their own copy of the model, using the engine's entity.show-range setting.
• Five model backends — EntityExtension, ModelEngine, BetterModel, BTC Mob NPC and MythicMobs NPC. With none configured, the corpse is a plain player entity in the vanilla dying pose, wearing the victim's skin and armour.
• Survives restarts — corpses are stored in MySQL when available, otherwise in the plugin folder. A restart or reload no longer destroys the inventory the corpse holds.
• Loot protection — owner-only looting, or a timed window after which the corpse opens to everyone. The rule is captured when the corpse is created.
• Precise interaction — clicking the corpse model is what loots it, so ordinary right-clicks near a corpse are unaffected.
• Client-side glow — a configurable outline drawn by the client instead of server-sent particles.
• Folia-safe — world changes run on the region that owns the corpse.
• Fully modular — most settings are dynamic values, so they can be driven by placeholders and facts.

How looting works

1. A player dies. Their inventory and experience move into the corpse and the vanilla drops are cleared.
2. Right-clicking the corpse loots it, dropping everything at its feet.
3. With enableInventoryGUI on, sneak + right-click opens a menu to take items one at a time. Set dropOnInteract to false to make a plain right-click open the menu instead.
4. If nobody loots it, the corpse expires after duration seconds and its contents are lost.
