DeathKeep

This plugin is a very interesting concept for RPG servers and whatnot. On your server, if a player dies in lava, or to some idiot. or to any of a zillion annoying causes, their items will probably be very hard, or impossible, to reach. This plugin offers a lightweight solution to the undying rage of losing the fruit of a day's worth of dungeon exploring - you can save 3 of your items on death.

Features:

• On death, a hopper inventory will appear. The first and last slots are filled with Ender Chests with red names saying "Save 3 items".
  
• When the inventory is closed, all the player's items will be dropped at the location they died at.
  
• No getting your friends to go save your items from lava - after 30 seconds the inventory closes itself.
  
• Don't worry, you can access your armor, but only if you had space in your inventory...

Warning:
Due to a problem in Bukkit, shift-clicking will crash your server. I have taken the liberty of removing the capability while in the death inventory.
Do not attempt to bypass it.
This plugin will set the gamerule keepInventory to true. Do not change it, it is vital to the plugin working.
