# 🪦Soul Graves🪦 A unique graves plugin where players collect their souls to retrieve their belongings when they die. A soul will spawn at your death location that provides audio and visual feedback to help you locate it. Once you find it you can retrieve your items by walking into your soul. Be careful though, wait too long and your soul will burst dropping all your items! Special thanks to [Catnies](https://github.com/Catnies) and [ShiroKazane](https://github.com/ShiroKazane) for their contributions to the project! ## Features ### ⭐ Core Mechanics - Soul Graves will spawn a soul when a player dies, storing their belongings. - Avoids spawning souls in liquids, the void, or non-solid blocks. - Souls persist through server restarts. - Customizable number of active souls per player, with an option for unlimited. - Ability to restrict soul collection to their owner. - Config options to pause the soul countdown timer while the owner is offline. - Disable soul spawning in specific worlds. ### ✨ Visual & Audio Feedback - Visual cue indicates when a soul is about to burst. - Players in a configurable radius will hear heartbeat sounds to guide the to nearby souls. - Optional and customizable hint particles to lead players directly to their soul. - Choose which sounds play for soul collection, soul bursting, and notifying players. - Both the soul’s owner and nearby players can be notified when a soul's status changes. ### 💎 Item & XP Handling - Souls can be configured to only drop items, xp, or both when they burst. - Set distinct XP return percentages for owners and non-owners separately. - Option to either destroy or scatter items/xp when a soul bursts. ### 🌐 Cross-Server Support - Cross-server support with MySQL and Redis for a seamless experience. ### 🪙 Economy Support - Configurable costs for players teleporting to their soul. ### 🛠️ Customization & Developer API - All messages are fully customizable with MiniMessage formatting. - Custom API for developers to hook into to customize Soul Graves further. ## Compatibility - **WorldGuard**: Flag for disabling soul spawning in specific regions. - **Towny**: Supporting their various keep-inventory options. - **Soulbound Enchantment Plugins**: - Vane - ExcellentEnchants - EcoEnchants ## Showcase
