Lenient Death allows you to partially keep your inventory on death; configurable with a wide array of options.
Items you DO drop can be given a glowing outline to find your way back; these outlines change colour as the items get closer to expiry.
These item glows can be seen through walls, though it's recommended to increase your client's Entity Distance.
Lenient Death can move your items to a safe space if you die to the void, or optionally keep them on you forcefully.
