Player Death Changes
Death Location Information
When you die, your location of death will be put into the chat for your review. You can also use /lastdeath
to check this death location, as well as how long it's been since you died, at any time.
Death Causes
If you die from another player's attack, such as during PVP or from their tamed pets, you will keep your items and experience.
All other death causes will result in normal death drops.
Item Pickup Protection
Your death drops are protected from pickup the entire time until they despawn. This means that hoppers, mobs, and other players cannot pickup your loot.
If you'd like to allow another player to pickup your stuff, you can use /allowpickup <player>
until the next server reboot. If you'd like to remove their access before then, you can use /denypickup <player>
to remove that access.
Staff members can pick up your loot if they enable Pickup Bypass, so feel free to ask them for help if you died in a crowded area. It's generally preferable to use /allowpickup
for this, though.
