SoulChest Documentation
Creating a Soul Chest
When a player dies, SoulChest automatically creates a protected soul chest at or near the death location.
The chest stores:
- Inventory contents
- Armor
- Off-hand items
- Experience points
If the death location is unsafe (such as lava, void, or invalid blocks), SoulChest will attempt to find a safer nearby location.
Managing Soul Chests
Use the command:
/sc chests
This opens the Soul Chest Manager GUI.
From the GUI, players can:
- View all active soul chests
- Check chest information
- Preview stored contents
- Teleport to a chest
- Fetch a chest to their location
- Unlock a chest
- Delete a chest
Teleporting to a Soul Chest
To teleport directly to a soul chest:
/sc tp <id>
Replace <id> with the chest ID shown in the GUI.
Example:
/sc tp 15
Fetching a Soul Chest
To move a soul chest to your current location:
/sc fetch <id>
Example:
/sc fetch 15
This is useful when a chest is located far away or in a difficult-to-reach area.
Unlocking a Soul Chest
To remove protection from a soul chest:
/sc unlock <id>
Once unlocked, the chest can be accessed normally.
Deleting a Soul Chest
To permanently remove a soul chest:
/sc delete <id>
Only delete a chest if you no longer need its contents.
Disabling Soul Chest Creation
Players with permission can toggle soul chest creation:
/sc toggle
When disabled, future deaths will not create soul chests for that player.
Chest Expiration
Soul chests can expire after a configurable amount of time.
When a chest expires:
- The chest is automatically removed.
- Stored contents are permanently lost.
- Associated holograms are removed.
Server owners can configure expiration settings in the plugin configuration.
Holograms
SoulChest can display holograms above active chests.
Depending on configuration, holograms may display:
- Owner name
- Chest ID
- Death cause
- Time remaining until expiration
