GraveCross

This mod has not been tested at high scale and could *maybe* cause problems. I don't think it will, but I can not say for certain. I'll update this description in a few days after I've gotten a bit of feedback on the mod. Update: Has been on a few large servers a while with no reported issues!

Have you ever killed someone, and taken a few minutes to make sure the coast is clear before looting them just to find that the body despawned in just a few minutes? Very infuriating, and that's what drove me to make this mod.

This mod makes it so when a player dies, a cross is created nearby and all of their gear is moved to it as attachments. What was in their hands will still drop to the ground. There are two types of crosses currently, a regular one, and a "died on the coast" cross. These two crosses can have their lifetime values set independently. So you can make it so players who killed themselves on the coast or died in a boxing match only have their cross stick around a few minutes, but anyone off the coast (and presumably having worthwhile gear) can last 25 minutes instead. See the types xml file provided for instructions. The crosses can be destroyed with most tools you'd carry on your back like an axe or a shovel.

The default values are 5 minutes for coastal crosses, and 25 minutes for others. I may add other cross variants in the future to fine tune these settings, or implement a better system for the "coast" crosses (currently it's just a location check, if you're on the coast within set bounds)

I eventually want to update this to be a bit more visually pleasing, with bag showing on the cross, helmet shown hanging on the top of the cross, clothes/other gear shown on the ground at the foot of the cross, and also more random variations of crosses.
