Description

overview

creates a backup of player information after death, allowing for easy restoration.

the mod can either be installed on the server or client, with certain functionality working on both.

server/single player behaviour

all player deaths are stored in the burial_backups.dat file in the root of a world. the /death command has been added to allow for management of deaths.

`/death list`

lists your deaths, or a player's death if specified. a page number can also be specified.

`/death view`

view a copy of the inventory on death, along with some extra information. a player name and death ID can also be specified.

`/death restore`

can be used to restore a death. by default, it restores all information from the latest death.

these subcommands can also be used to specify a player and identifier:

/death restore all restores items, XP, score and safe position
/death restore inventory restores items, XP and score
/death restore safeposition teleports to a safe location nearby (useful for when dying in lava, for example)
/death restore position restores position

client behaviour

a screenshot is taken on death, which are saved in .minecraft/death_screenshots. single player deaths are saved in sp/<world name>/<time>.png and multiplayer deaths are saved in mp/<server ip>/<time>.png.

deaths on remote servers are also stored, but are not currently used. more functionality for this is coming soon!
