Add the dependency (e.g. JitPack) and use the builder API via Corpse.fromPlayer() or Corpse.fromLocation():
import com.github.denmeh.corpse.corpse.Corpse;
import com.github.denmeh.corpse.model.CorpseArmor;
// At player location, with their skin and armor
Corpse corpse = Corpse.fromPlayer(player).spawn();
// At a specific location
Corpse corpse = Corpse.fromPlayer(player).location(location).spawn();
Corpse corpse = Corpse.fromLocation(location).name(offlinePlayer.getName()).spawn();
// Custom armor (use CorpseArmor)
CorpseArmor armor = new CorpseArmor().boots(boots).leggings(leggings).chestplate(chestplate).helmet(helmet);
Corpse corpse = Corpse.fromPlayer(player).location(location).armor(armor).spawn();
Corpse corpse = Corpse.fromLocation(location).name(name).armor(armor).spawn();
// Remove a corpse
corpse.destroy();The builder also supports .textures(List<TextureProperty>) for custom skins. Listen for right-clicks and attacks on corpses via AsyncCorpseInteractEvent; use getAction() to distinguish interact vs attack.
