This is a simple plugin that prevents the dropping of items on a player's death. So whenever a player dies, no matter what the cause, they will loose all their items, but not drop them. If you want a player to be exempt from this give them the permission "ddeckys.nodrop.exempt".
This plugin could probably be used in a roleplaying server or a minigame server where the players don't drop items. In future updates there will be more configurable updates such as configuring what items can or can't drop.
This is my first released plugin, so please be kind. If it doesn't work, explain what is happening in the comments or a ticket and I will try and fix it.
As for permissions, this is compatible with anything that uses the built in Bukkit permissions.
