NOTE - This plugin is being replaced by a forge mod and will no longer be updated. Please see SpiritLinks MOD for latest release and information. SpiritLinks Overview SpiritLinks turns Minecraft death into a guided MMO-style “ghost run” , inspired by World of Warcraft. I wanted a system that makes death feel more like an MMO and less like a punishment that deletes progress: I didn’t want players to lose gear and XP due to bad luck or chaotic fights. I wanted to reduce situations where loot is lost to lava , despawns due to item timeout , or gets scooped by someone else. I wanted a consistent, safe way for players to return to play, and a way to centralize reviving around defined locations (cemeteries / Spirit Healers). When players die, they become ghosts, get clear guidance to their corpse or a Spirit Healer, hear ambient ghost audio, and can revive either at their death point or by interacting with a marked Healer NPC. SpiritLinks includes gentle Healer roaming, mob repulsion fields, random on-screen whispers, center-screen revive prompts, and a built-in resource-pack mini server for audio. Supported Platforms and Requirements Minecraft Server: Spigot 1. 12. 2 (also tested on CatServer 1. 12. 2 modded forks) API: Bukkit/Spigot API 1. 12. 2-R0. 1-SNAPSHOT Java: Java 8 (1. 8) Optional: Vault (for money-based costs) + an economy plugin (EssentialsEco, CMI, etc.) Installation Download and Install Place spiritlinks-1. 0. 0.jar into /plugins/ .
