These are some suggestions I have to improve wild and other small aspects of the server.
1. Wild Death Chest
When a player dies in the wild, their hotbar(nine slots on the bottom) and armor will be put into a chest where they died. The rest of their inventory is dropped onto the ground like normal, probably despawning before someone can get to it.
2. Wild Death Compass
When a player dies in the wild they will respawn in a random location of the wild with a compass. This compass will point to their most recent death(aka where their death chest would be). If you do not reach your death chest in 10 minutes, the compass vanishes.
3. Sethome Paper & Pen
To set a home, a player must have a piece of paper, a feather, and ink in their inventory to 'write down' the location of the home. These items are not consumed on use and it would still work if the items are in /chest.
I think some little suggestions like this could improve the server greatly in the long run.
