Inventory-value based death insurance with Vault. Pay the bill to keep your items after death.
RespawnCare
RespawnCare adds an economy-based death protection system to your Minecraft server.
Instead of simply losing or keeping your inventory after death, RespawnCare calculates the value of everything the player is carrying and creates a configurable hospital bill.
If the player can afford the bill, the money is withdrawn through Vault and the inventory is saved.
If the player cannot afford the bill, the entire death inventory is lost.
Features

- Configurable minimum and maximum death cost
- Players keep their inventory when they can afford the bill

- Armor and offhand items are included

- Item durability can affect the calculated value
- Shulker Box contents are included
- Bundle contents are included
- Building blocks and common materials have configurable values
- Configurable item and enchantment prices
- Compact inventory value command
- English and German language files
- Custom language files can be added

- No unnecessary player commands
How does it work?
When a player dies, RespawnCare calculates the total value of the player's inventory.
For example:
Inventory value: $24,850.00
Hospital bill: $2,485.00
Balance: $7,420.00
If the hospital bill is configured to 10%, the player has to pay $2,485.00.
The player can afford the bill
The hospital bill is withdrawn from the player's economy account through Vault.
The complete inventory is preserved.
The player cannot afford the bill
The complete death inventory is lost.
There is no partial payment and no partial inventory recovery.
Inventory Value
RespawnCare calculates much more than just diamonds or Netherite.
The valuation system can include:
- Weapons
- Tools
- Armor
- Building blocks
- Resources
- Food
- Rare items
- Enchantments
- Offhand items
- Shulker Boxes
- Shulker Box contents
- Bundles
- Bundle contents
Stack sizes are automatically taken into account.
Example:
1 Diamond = $100
32 Diamonds = $3,200
Normal building blocks can also have values.
This means that a player carrying large amounts of building materials still has an inventory value without ordinary blocks becoming excessively expensive.
Enchantments
Enchantments can increase the value of an item.
Example:
Netherite Pickaxe $1,500
Efficiency V +$1,000
Unbreaking III +$450
Fortune III +$1,200
Mending +$750
------------------------------
Total $4,900
Enchantment values can be adjusted by the server administrator.
Shulker Boxes and Bundles
RespawnCare also calculates the contents of supported containers.
For example, placing expensive items inside a Shulker Box does not hide their value from RespawnCare.
Example:
Shulker Box $200
64 Diamonds $6,400
32 Netherite Ingots $16,000
Elytra $5,000
------------------------------
Total $27,600
This prevents players from avoiding higher hospital bills by storing valuable items inside containers.
Commands
/respawncare value
Shows the current value of your inventory, the estimated hospital bill and whether you could currently afford it.
Alias:
/rc value
/respawncare value details
Shows additional information about the current inventory value.
The command only displays the most valuable items instead of printing the complete inventory, keeping the chat clean and readable.
Alias:
/rc value details
/respawncare reload
Reloads the configuration, item values, enchantment values and language files.
Alias:
/rc reload
Permissions
respawncare.value
respawncare.reload
respawncare.value is available to players by default.
respawncare.reload is intended for server administrators.
Languages
RespawnCare currently includes:
- English
- German
English is the default language.
The language can be changed inside config.yml.
English:
language: en
German:
language: de
Custom language files can also be added inside the RespawnCare lang directory.
If a translation is missing, RespawnCare automatically falls back to the English message.
Requirements
RespawnCare requires:
- Paper
- Vault
- A Vault-compatible economy plugin
A common setup is:
Paper
Vault
EssentialsX Economy
RespawnCare
Other Vault-compatible economy providers can also be used.
Configuration
RespawnCare is designed to be highly configurable.
Server administrators can configure things such as:
- Hospital bill percentage
- Minimum hospital bill
- Maximum hospital bill
- Item values
- Enchantment values
- Building block values
- Armor calculation
- Offhand calculation
- Container contents
- Item durability calculation
- Number of items shown by the details command
- Language
- Messages
This allows RespawnCare to be adjusted to different server economies.
Example
A player is carrying equipment and resources worth:
Inventory value: $18,750.00
The server has configured:
Hospital bill: 10%
Minimum bill: $500
The resulting hospital bill is:
$18,750 × 10% = $1,875
If the player has at least $1,875, the bill is paid and the inventory is preserved.
If the player has less than $1,875, the inventory is lost.
Why RespawnCare?
RespawnCare provides an alternative to the traditional keepInventory gamerule.
Death still has consequences, but valuable equipment does not automatically disappear if the player can afford the recovery cost.
Players carrying expensive equipment take a larger financial risk than players carrying basic equipment.
This also creates an additional money sink for economy servers without requiring complicated systems or additional player commands.
