Hello all MassiveCrafters! Once again I ask you to keep an open mind while reading. If you don't like the idea(s) submitted then reply with constructive criticism, or explain your reason for disagreeing.
My idea is to implement the Corpses plugin (http://www.spigotmc.org/resources/corpses.1817/) into the server. This plugin is used widely by large PVP and RP servers. All it does is when a player dies, be it by natural causes, mobs, or players, a corpse of their body is left on the ground. This corpse is literally the players model laying completely flat on the ground, so it looks more realistic than if their body were just to explode into a cloud of items. This corpse solves this by holding all of the items the person had on them when they died, preventing items from scattering, and making looting bodies a bit easier to sort through.
I think the corpses would also serve as quite an aid in RP. Imagine two Ailor fishermen that suddenly find a rare diamond in a waterlogged boot. One of the fishermen lashes out at the other, wanting to keep the diamond for himself! He kills him in cold blood, and without the plugin, his body disintegrates into nothingness, leaving only the diamond and fishing rod behind which are quickly picked up. Hearing commotion a guard runs up to investigate, only to find a man jumping for joy over his new found diamond. The fisherman gets away with murdering his best friend, and walks away filthy rich... However, had the plugin been in use when the fisherman killed his friend, his friends lifeless corpse would be displayed out in the open for the guard to see as he approached! At the very least the fisherman could be put on trial because at least now the guard knows there was a murder! Another useful RP aspect would be if a group of vampires are hunting their prey. They're all very bloodthirsty but with only one person, and three vampires there isn't much to split. Maybe add a small child plugin so that vampires can drink a certain amount of blood and perhaps xp from a corpse entity before the corpse completely disintegrates. This would make vampire hunts much more thrilling, as there is more of a reward for "getting the kill."
This is a great plugin IMO, it prevents people from killing you and just running over your items and picking them all up without stopping for a second. it actually makes them loot your body for the stuff they want, so it takes more time. However, every plugin tends to have a downside. This plugins downsides as I know are that at times, the corpse model will glitch and appear to be floating almost half a block off the ground (this is only when a person dies in a tight spot such as right next to a wall.) It also has a glitch where if a player has keepinventory set to true, it duplicates the items, leaving the corpse with a copy of the players inventory upon death. This may make it difficult to implement due to premium's ability to keep inventory upon death.
However, I still have high hopes for this plugin, and I hope you will at least consider it!
