Dead Body — Realistic Lootable Corpses (Player & Mob Bodies)

[size=4]Real bodies. Real loot. Real consequences.
BUILT TO WORK WITH DEATH+ FREE SPIGOT PLUGIN For Advanced Spectating and Death Messages[/size]

Dead Body transforms Minecraft death into a persistent, physical gameplay event.

Instead of items scattering across the ground, players and mobs leave behind fully lootable corpses — complete with poses, models, nameplates, animations, and powerful in-game configuration tools.

Designed specifically for modern Paper / Spigot 1.21+ servers with performance, reliability, and immersion in mind.

FULL PLUGIN GUIDE / WIKI

• Lootable Corpses — Items are captured at the moment of death and securely stored inside a corpse container at the death location.

• Multiple Render Modes — Choose between ArmorStand mode, ItemDisplay entities with custom models, or full Player/Mob model rendering.

• In-Game GUI Editor — Configure corpse behavior, visuals, permissions, and rules entirely in-game without editing YAML files.

• Pose Studio System — Create and preview custom corpse poses directly in the world using intuitive tools.

• Death Cause Mapping — Automatically apply different corpse poses depending on how the entity died (explosions, fall damage, drowning, etc).

• Animated Despawn Effects — Corpses can sink, spin, scale down, dissolve, jitter, or vanish using customizable animations.

• Mob Corpses — Vanilla mobs can also leave behind bodies, creating a more immersive world.

• MythicMobs Support — Fine-grained whitelist / blacklist controls for custom mobs to avoid duplicate death systems.

• Combat Logging Module — Optional logout-death handling ensures corpses spawn correctly even when players disconnect mid-combat.

• Reliable Cleanup Systems — Extensive safeguards ensure no orphaned entities, displays, or containers remain in your world.

• Environment-Aware Placement — Corpses intelligently position themselves on slabs, carpets, stairs, uneven terrain, and complex builds.

• • Select corpse render type (ArmorStand / ItemDisplay / PlayerModel)

  • Automatically scale corpses based on entity size

  • Define loot access permissions (owner-only, team, public, admin bypass)

  • Configure timed despawn or despawn-on-empty behavior

  • Customize nameplate style (flat labels or billboard displays)

  • Adjust corpse interaction hitboxes

  • Assign custom poses per death cause

  • Map specific Mythic mobs to special behaviors

  • Choose between GUI configuration or traditional YAML editing
