Location Based

Death is forgiving in the overworld, but gets harsher the more dangerous the place a player dies in.

• Overworld: keep everything
• Deep underground (below Y 0): gear takes durability damage
• Nether and End: drop all resources too

Required Plugins

• None

Rule

default_behavior: KEEP

rules:
  deep_underground:
    name: "Deep underground"
    enabled: true
    conditions:
      y_level:
        range: "< 0"           # <-- Below Y 0
    effects:
      damage:
        mode: PERCENTAGE
        min: 10.0
        max: 20.0              # <-- 10% to 20% of max durability
        dont_break: true       # <-- Never break the item completely
        filters:
          items:
            - "G:EQUIPMENT"

  dangerous_dimensions:
    name: "Nether and End"
    enabled: true
    conditions:
      worlds:
        nodes:
          - "world_nether"
          - "world_the_end"
    effects:
      drop:
        mode: ALL
        filters:
          items:
            - "G:RESOURCES"

How it works

Rules are checked from top to bottom, and each one only applies when all of its conditions match. A death below Y 0 in the overworld only triggers the first rule, a death in the Nether only triggers the second.

world_nether and world_the_end are the default world names on Spigot and Paper. If your worlds are named differently, use those names instead. * works as a wildcard, so "*_nether" matches every world ending in _nether.

note

The first rule has no world condition, so it applies below Y 0 in every world. A player who falls out of the End triggers both rules.

Variations

Make a rule only apply below Y 0 in the overworld by giving it both conditions:

    conditions:
      worlds:
        nodes:
          - "world"
      y_level:
        range: "< 0"

Or use child rules to build on a parent rule's conditions:

rules:
  dangerous_dimensions:
    name: "Nether and End"
    enabled: true
    conditions:
      worlds:
        nodes:
          - "world_nether"
          - "world_the_end"
    effects:
      drop:
        mode: ALL
        filters:
          items:
            - "G:RESOURCES"
    children:
      high_up:
        name: "Nether roof / End islands"
        enabled: true
        conditions:
          y_level:
            range: "> 128"     # <-- Only checked for Nether and End deaths
        effects:
          drop:
            mode: ALL          # <-- Drop everything
