Datapack Death Anchor

Death Anchor

Death Anchor is a Minecraft datapack that protects your dropped items after death, giving you more time to return before they despawn. When a player dies, the datapack creates an invisible marker at the death location. Nearby items are drawn toward it, while their despawn timer is reset, keeping valuable gear safe during a difficult recovery. The marker disappears automatically once the items are collected. Designed for a Minecraft server, it adds recovery protection without enabling keep inventory. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for survival gameplay where death remains meaningful without becoming unfair.
