-- Implements the main entrypoint for the plugin, as well as all the handling needed

-- Deathdrop plugin allows for a players inventory to be copied to a chest before death to remove some of the pain of long mining trips.

  --To do: add functionality to make sure that the chest is not placed in lava/bedrock basically anywhere that would reneder the use of the plugin u and to check if
    --the chest has enough slots to hold complete inventory.
