DeathPin

Never lose your death spot again.

After you die, DeathPin sends a clickable message in chat. One click activates a particle trail that guides you straight back to your items.

How it works

1. You die
2. After respawn you see your death coordinates + direction in chat
3. Click [✦ Partikelspur aktivieren] — a glowing trail appears
4. Follow the particles back to your stuff
5. The trail stops automatically when you arrive
