Andy's Soulbound Graves 0.1.31 — Initial Release

The first public release turns protected deaths into complete physical burial scenes instead of loose item piles or abstract menus.

Included in this release

• Four craftable Soulbound Rune tiers with 3, 6, 9, or unlimited successful grave uses.
• A required off-hand slot tradeoff: the rune must be in the shield slot when death occurs.
• Transactional item capture that commits possessions to buried skeleton remains before considering the grave successful.
• The updated rune is stored with the player's possessions and returned during recovery; failed grave creation does not consume a use.
• A physical 1 × 3 gravesite with coarse dirt, flowers where appropriate, a death-day sign, a stepped tombstone, faint emissive runes, an etched RIP, and a Soul Lantern.
• Twenty-four tombstone visual combinations: stone, deepslate, or diorite paired with eight rune-inscription palettes.
• Environment-aware graves in the Overworld, Nether, End, and submerged locations.
• A solid protective grave vault for Tier IV lava deaths.
• A native Recovery Compass bound to one specific grave, with horizontal direction, distance, vertical guidance, dimension status, and Soulbinding time remaining.
• Safe, atomic inventory restoration from the exposed skeleton only after ownership, grave identity, compass binding, and inventory capacity are verified.
• Multiple active graves without a newer death overwriting an older unrecovered grave.
• Optional Timed Soulbinding with 20-minute, 40-minute, 60-minute, and unlimited tier windows; disabled by default.
• Five-minute and one-minute expiry warnings, plus a Wither Rose ritual that reactivates expired remains without deleting the stored inventory.
• Configurable post-recovery behavior: memorial, immediate removal, permanent marker, or timed memorial.
• Rune recharging for Tier I–III at an anvil using an Amethyst Cluster.
• Protected grave plots, owner identification, death-day display, removal controls, and recovered-remains bone drops.
• Standard graphics and Vibrant Visuals/PBR support.
• Single-player, multiplayer, Realms, and compatible Bedrock server support.
• No cheats, commands, experimental gameplay toggles, or required add-on dependencies.

Important survival rules

• Void deaths are not protected. Items lost to the void follow vanilla behavior.
• Lava protection requires Soulbound Rune IV. Tiers I–III do not create a grave in lava.
• Experience follows vanilla death behavior and is not stored in the grave.
• Keep both included packs active and use matching versions.
