Description
When EssentialsX is installed, items do not drop when the player dies.

Steps to reproduce
Install EssentialsX. Kill yourself, or die normally. Items do not drop.

Expected behavior
When you die, items should drop.

As far as I could tell, there was no setting to change to toggle this.

This should not happen by default. If this started happening when you updated, you're probably using wildcard permissions which we do not support.

Run /ess debug then try killing yourself again and give us the full console output on death.

This appears to be an issue with being OP (reference: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/ops-keep-there-items-on-death-essentialsx.374456/ )

I ended up getting this fixed using the dev bulilds from https://ci.ender.zone/job/EssentialsX-Experimental/ build 95 (EssentialsX-2.16.1.180-mc114-b95)

@YourCoal Those builds don't include the latest features, including essentials.keepinv, and those builds should not be used in production.

Could you update to the latest stable build and check whether you still have the permission when opped?

It looks like it gives all OPs the keepinv perm, happens in latest build

You're using Bukkit permissions without a permissions plugin installed. We don't officially support this, so there isn't anything we can do to help.

Use a permissions plugin like LuckPerms for proper permissions management.
