SoulKeep

Persistent graves for Paper 1. 21+

Graves, auto grave compass, lava/void-safe placement — no database, no dependencies.

## Overview

SoulKeep creates a grave when a player dies and restores items reliably on pickup. It is designed for persistence (restarts / chunk reloads) and safe item retrieval.

## Features

  • Graves at death location
  • Player head + hologram at (or near) the death spot.
  • Grave Compass (on respawn)
  • Optional compass that points to the grave. Removed after successful pickup.
  • Lava/Void-safe placement
  • Graves spawn at the nearest safe block (configurable per world).
  • Pickup rules
  • Optional: allow teammates to pick up your grave.
  • Auto-expire
  • Default: 15 minutes (configurable), including expire action (drop/destroy).
  • Per-player limits
  • Default: max 3 graves. When exceeded, the oldest grave is handled by the configured rule.
  • Slot-aware restoration
  • Inventory/Hotbar/Armor/Offhand are restored with priority and, when possible, returned to their original slots.

## Dupe-resistant design

> Important: SoulKeep reduces dupe edge cases via locking and atomic retrieval.

  • Locking: a grave can only be processed by one player at a time (double-click ignored).
  • Atomic retrieval: give items → remove grave → persist immediately.
  • Inventory full: overflow drops at the grave (no silent loss, no dupe).
  • Persistence: grave data survives restarts and graves respawn on chunk load when needed.

## Requirements

  • Paper 1. 21+
  • Zero dependencies (no Vault, no PlaceholderAPI, no external database)

## Installation

1. Put `SoulKeep-.jar` into `plugins/` 2. Start the server 3. Optional: edit `plugins/SoulKeep/config.yml` 4. Run `/soulkeep reload` (or restart) after config changes

## Commands & Permissions

| Command | Description | Permission | |--------|-------------|------------| | `/soulkeep` | Lists your active graves (with coordinates) | – | | `/soulkeep reload` | Reloads the config | `soulkeep.admin` | | `/soulkeep clean` (`/sk clean`) | Removes your graves and drops items; Admin/Console can clean globally | Admin: `soulkeep.admin` |

| Permission | Default | Description | |-----------|---------|-------------| | `soulkeep.admin` | OP | Administrative functions (reload/clean/global) | | `soulkeep.lavavoidproof` | Everyone | Enables lava/void-safe placement (if permission-gated) |

## Configuration (excerpt)

```yaml # Lava/Void protection lava-void-proof: true lava-void-proof-worlds: {} # e.g. world_nether: false -> Overworld only
