RandomSlotDrop

RandomSlotDrop is a Minecraft plugin that allows players to keep a portion of their inventory upon death. It introduces a configurable chance for dropping only a certain percent of random inventory slots, giving players a better experience by reducing frustration from losing everything after death.

Functional overview

• Configurable slot drops
  Only a specific percentage of inventory slots are randomly selected to drop upon player death. For example, suppose the dropSlotsPercent is set to 10%. Since players have a total of 41 inventory slots (36 general slots + 4 armor slots + off-hand slot), the plugin calculates 10% of 41, resulting in approximately 4 random slots chosen to drop items. If a player has items in only 10 of slots, then up to 4 slots might drop items or none at all if the randomly selected slots are empty.

• Partial stack drops
  For each selected slot containing more than one item, the plugin will randomly choose a partial stack size to drop, within a configured range (from stackDropPercentMin% to stackDropPercentMax% of the stack). If you set both the min and max to 100, the entire stack will always drop.

• Drop full inventory on spectator gamemode
  Optionally, if a player dies and is switched to spectator mode shortly afterward, their entire inventory will automatically drop (configured via spectatorFullDrop).
