Undead Players
You'll find your death point faster, but you'll have to fight your corpse for your stuff back!
Details
This module adds an interesting feature to the death mechanic in Minecraft. Upon death, players will spawn an "Undead Player" Zombie, capable of picking up the dropped armour and weapons of the player. This means those items are less likely to despawn, but you may have to fight to get those items back!
Undead players are spawned at the player's death point. They are never babies or villagers and can always pick up loot and wear armour around them. Ttheir name tag which, like a player's, can be seen from a great distance through blocks can help players locate their last death-point and dropped items before they despawn.
