Player Death Location

V2.0 Major Overhaul

This is a full rewrite of PlayerDeathLocation. Nearly every part of the plugin has been reworked for better usability, configurability, and correctness.

New Features

• Custom messages: All in-game messages are now configurable in config.yml. Only plain text; the visual style is handled by the plugin itself.
• Teleport to death location: Click the [✈ Teleport] button directly in chat. Uses native Bukkit teleport no command hacks, no console spam.
• Delete death entries: Click [✕ Delete] in chat to remove an entry. Requires playerdeaths.delete.self (granted to all players by default).
• Auto creative on teleport: If a player has a gamemode permission (minecraft.command.gamemode, essentials.gamemode.*, or *), they are automatically switched to creative before teleporting. Can be disabled via teleport-set-creative: false in config.yml.
• Void protection: Teleport Y coordinate is clamped to a minimum of -70 to prevent players from falling into the void.
• Relative timestamps: Deaths are shown as 2m ago, 3h ago, 5d ago.
• Configurable max deaths: max-deaths-per-player in config.yml (default: 10). Oldest entries are automatically removed when the limit is exceeded.
• New aliases: /pd and /deaths both work as aliases for /playerdeaths.
• Auto config migration: Missing config keys from new versions are automatically added on server start without overwriting existing values.

Improved Permission System

All actions are now gated by fine-grained permissions:

Permission	Default	Description
playerdeaths.view.own	true	View own death locations
playerdeaths.view.others	op	View other players' deaths
playerdeaths.teleport.self	op	Teleport to own deaths
playerdeaths.teleport.others	op	Teleport to others' deaths
playerdeaths.delete.self	true	Delete own death entries
playerdeaths.delete.others	op	Delete others' death entries

Improved Help Command

• /deaths help now shows only commands the player has permission to use.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed: Clicking the teleport/delete button caused an "unrecognized command" error when Essentials was installed. Both actions are now proper subcommands of /deaths.
• Fixed: New config keys added in plugin updates were not written to existing config.yml files after a server restart.
• Fixed: Deaths list used a sequential display counter (#1, #2, ...) instead of the real database ID, causing teleport/delete commands to target the wrong entry.

Breaking Changes

• The internal /pdtp and /pddel commands have been removed. Use /deaths teleport <ID> and /deaths delete <ID> instead.
• Config structure has changed. Old config.yml files will be auto-migrated, missing keys are added automatically, existing values are preserved.
