Dead Body

Example Server: mcwar.co

Real bodies. Real loot. Real consequences.
BUILT TO WORK WITH DEATH+ FREE SPIGOT PLUGIN For Advanced Spectating and Death Messages
Dead Body transforms Minecraft death into something physical.
Instead of drops scattering across the ground, players and mobs leave behind fully lootable corpses — complete with poses, models, nameplates, animations, and in-game configuration tools.
Built specifically for modern 1.21+ Paper/Spigot servers.
INSANE FEATURES
- Lootable Corpses — Items are captured and stored in a container at the death location.
- Multiple Render Modes — ArmorStand, ItemDisplay (3D models), or full Player/Mob models.
- In-Game GUI Editor — Configure everything without touching YAML.
- Pose Studios — Create your own corpse poses in-game.
- Death Cause Mapping — Different poses for fall damage, explosions, drowning, etc.
- Animated Despawn Effects — Sink, spin, pop, jitter, scale, and more.
- Mob Corpses — Zombies, skeletons, villagers, bosses — all can leave bodies.
- MythicMobs Support — Whitelist / blacklist specific custom mobs.
- Combat Logging Module — /logout + proxy death → corpse spawn.
- Extreme attention to detail when it comes to recovery and clean up. (no leftover displays on your map)
- Any area ready - Super complicated map or build style, no problem. These can spawn and place themselves properly on carpet, slabs, stairs, anything you throw them at.
Fully Customizable
Dead Body gives server owners full control:
-
- Choose corpse render mode (ArmorStand / ItemDisplay / PlayerModel)
- Scale corpses automatically based on entity scale
- Configure who can loot (permissions + owner rules + bypass)
- Enable despawn on empty or timed despawn
- Control nameplate style (Flat or Billboard)
- Adjust interaction hitbox size
- Assign different poses per death cause
- Map specific Mythic mobs to custom behaviors
- Use GUI or YAML — your choice
