Hello, last wipe a user reported that they died on a foundation that later broke, and their loot disappeared along with the backpack. I didn’t think much of it at the time.

This wipe, another user reported that they died after falling off a horse and also lost their loot. I saw another post about missing loot as well, so I’m leaving this message here—maybe something is failing and causing this to happen.

When reporting issues related to item loss, please clarify how you are using the plugin. For example, if you have configured the plugin to keep items in the backpack even when the player dies, then item loss would be surprising, but if you have configured the plugin to drop backpacks on death, then item loss is generally expected as other players could loot it or the container could eventually despawn.

There was once an issue where the player corpses would fall on top of the backpack and occassionally push the backpack under the map, but this was addressed in the plugin by disabling collision between the backpack and its owner's corpse.

There could be other cases where backpacks can be pushed under the map, such as by other objects. You can keep an eye out for this root cause by checking under the map to see if there is a backpack floating in water, and check the server logs to see if an object was destroyed out of bounds near the coordinates that the player dies (e.g., at the same X and Z coordinates of the player, but with a large negative number for the Y axis). If this turns out to be a confirmed issue, there are things I could do to mitigate it, but I'll be waiting for server owner feedback/data to indicate whether this is an actual issue.

Thank you for your reply—you’re right, I didn’t give any context.

The plugin is configured so that the backpack drops on the ground (and can’t be looted by other players) since it’s a PvE server, and other plugins protect it.

It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen occasionally.

I’ll keep you informed and will investigate each case. Every time this issue has been reported, I’ve gone to the spot right away to check if the backpack was under the map or nearby, but I’ve never been able to find it.

I’ll do as you suggest and start reviewing the logs.
