Recovery chests
Your carried items go into a protected chest when you die. Find it with /aclist and recover it before its timer runs out.
When you die, your carried items go into a recovery chest near the death spot. The chest is protected for you, and /aclist shows where it is and how much time remains. A normal chest lasts 20 minutes. Its countdown continues while you are offline, so check the timer as soon as you return.
The chest holds your hotbar, main inventory, armor and off-hand items, including a pack if you were carrying or wearing one. Your ender chest stays untouched.
Your first three deaths bring you back to life right beside the chest. See Death & recovery.
Find and collect your items
/aclistWalk to the location in /aclist and open the chest to collect your items. If the route is unsafe, take spare gear from your ender chest before you go back.
A chest that expires drops its contents on the ground. Those items can then despawn as ordinary dropped items do. The server allows up to five active recovery chests; when another death pushes you over that limit, the oldest chest drops its contents early. Recover the oldest one first if you have died several times.
A recovery chest protects items for a limited time; it is not permanent storage. Keep your most important backup kit in an ender chest so you can reach it after a dangerous death.
The chest also holds the vanilla amount of experience from the death, which you get back when you recover it. Dying costs five coins, with a 30-second cooldown on that penalty. See How it pays for the rest of the coin system.
