Video Short Review
☠️ How StoneTombs Works
When you die, StoneTombs creates a grave containing your stored inventory and gives you a Grave Key connected to that exact grave.
Your grave stores information such as:
- Grave number
- Owner
- Dimension
- Coordinates
- Death time
- Death cause
- Stored XP
- Stored items
By default, only the owner can recover their grave.
Your key can also display the grave's location so you always know where your items were left.
Coordinates can also be shown in chat when the grave is created.
Both coordinate displays can be enabled or disabled by the server administrator.
🧱 Smart Safe Grave Placement
One of the most important V2.0 improvements is the new Smart Safe Grave Placement system.
This safety system is always enabled.
When you die, StoneTombs does not blindly place the grave exactly where you died.
Instead:
- It searches around your death location for safe natural ground.
- It checks nearby positions and different heights.
- It avoids unsafe empty space, lava and locations without a stable floor.
- If safe natural ground exists, the grave is placed there.
- Only when no safe location can be found, StoneTombs creates an automatic 4×4 emergency platform.
The emergency platform adapts to the dimension:
- 🪨 Cobblestone — Overworld
- ⬛ Blackstone — Nether
- 🟨 End Stone — The End
This makes deaths in caves, lava areas, dangerous terrain and the End void much safer without unnecessarily generating platforms everywhere.
🔑 Grave Keys
Every grave receives its own unique Grave Key.
A Grave Key only belongs to its matching grave, so another random Grave Key cannot be used as a universal key.
✨ Enchanted Grave Keys
Administrators can choose between:
- Always Enchanted Key
- Random Enchanted Key
An enchanted Grave Key can teleport you back to the grave when teleportation is enabled.
Teleportation can also have a configurable XP level cost:
- Free
- 1 Level
- 3 Levels
- 5 Levels
- 10 Levels
If the server uses Random Enchanted Key, normal Grave Keys cannot teleport. This keeps the random enchanted-key mechanic meaningful.
🧭 Tracking With Any Grave Key
Even when a key cannot teleport, it can still help you find your grave.
Sneak + Use a Grave Key to start or stop tracking.
When tracking a grave in the same dimension, your action bar shows:
- Distance
- Direction arrow
If the grave is in another dimension, StoneTombs instead shows the required dimension and coordinates.
📋 Grave Manager
V2.0 adds a full Grave Manager inside Personal Config.
It lets every player manage their own registered graves without needing to search through a pile of keys.
The manager displays your newest active graves and lets you:
- 🧭 Track Grave
- ✨ Teleport to Grave when allowed
- ℹ️ View Grave Information
- 🗑️ Permanently delete a grave
ℹ️ Grave Information
The information screen can show:
- Grave number
- Dimension
- Coordinates
- Grave age
- Death cause
- Stored XP
- Number of stored item slots
This is especially useful for players with several active graves across different dimensions.
🎒 Advanced Item Recovery
V2.0 adds three personal recovery modes.
Every player can choose the mode they prefer independently.
🎒 Original Slots + Auto Equip
Your armor and offhand items are automatically restored to their equipment slots whenever possible.
Inventory items then try to return to the exact slots they occupied before death.
If an original slot is already occupied, StoneTombs safely uses another available inventory slot instead.
📦 Auto Equip + Fill Inventory
Equipment is restored first.
The remaining recovered items are then compacted into available inventory spaces without trying to preserve their previous slot positions.
This is useful when you simply want everything back as efficiently as possible.
💨 Auto Equip + Drop Remaining Items
Equipment is automatically restored whenever possible.
Everything else is dropped safely around the grave instead of being inserted into your inventory.
This is useful if you prefer traditional grave-style item drops while still benefiting from automatic equipment recovery.
🛡️ Recover Equipment Only
Need your armor back before dealing with the rest?
Sneak + Hit your grave with the correct key to open the Recovery Menu.
From there you can choose:
- Restore Everything
- Restore Equipment Only
- View Grave Information
Armor, helmet, leggings, boots and offhand equipment have dedicated storage handling so they can be properly re-equipped.
👁️ Nearby Grave Preview
When you are close to one of your own graves, StoneTombs can display a compact preview in the action bar.
The preview shows:
- Grave number
- Stored item slots
- Stored XP
Every player can personally enable or disable this preview.
Administrators can also choose whether it is enabled by default.
⭐ XP Recovery
StoneTombs V2.0 can protect your experience as well as your items.
Administrators can choose how much XP is stored inside graves:
- 0%
- 25%
- 50%
- 75%
- 100%
The protected percentage is stored inside the grave.
Any XP that is not protected is dropped normally at the original death location as experience orbs.
When the grave is successfully recovered, its stored XP is returned to the player.
👥 Grave Access & Public Graves
Server owners now have much more control over who can recover graves.
🔒 Owner Only
Only the grave owner can recover it.
This is the default mode.
⏱️ Owner Only, Then Public
The grave starts private.
After a configurable amount of time it becomes public.
Available public timers:
- 30 Seconds
- 1 Minute
- 5 Minutes
- 15 Minutes
- 30 Minutes
- 60 Minutes
When the grave becomes public, any player can recover it with an empty hand.
The owner receives a notification identifying the grave with:
- Grave number
- Coordinates
- Dimension
- Notification sound
This makes the system useful for multiplayer servers where items should eventually become available instead of remaining permanently locked.
🌍 Everyone
The grave is public immediately.
Any player can recover it with an empty hand from the beginning.
Public graves do not make unrelated Grave Keys into universal keys. Players should use an empty hand unless they have the correct key.
⏳ Grave Expiration & Cleanup
Administrators can decide how long graves remain active.
Available expiration times:
- Never
- 15 Minutes
- 30 Minutes
- 1 Hour
- 6 Hours
- 12 Hours
- 24 Hours
- 3 Days
- 7 Days
When an expiration policy is active, the administrator can choose what happens:
🪦 Keep Grave
The grave remains available.
📦 Remove Grave and Drop Items
The grave disappears and its remaining stored items are dropped at its location.
❌ Remove Grave and Delete Items
The grave and every remaining stored item are permanently removed.
When an online player has a grave approaching expiration, StoneTombs sends a warning approximately 5 minutes before it expires.
When a loaded grave finally expires, the owner also receives a message identifying which grave expired plus a notification sound.
🔢 Maximum Active Graves
Server owners can control how many active graves each player can have.
Available limits:
- Unlimited
- 3
- 5
- 10
- 20
This can be useful on long-running multiplayer servers and Realms.
⚙️ New Config System
Every player receives a StoneTombs Config Key once.
Using it opens the new configuration hub with three sections:

The Config Key itself does not give a normal player administrator access.
Admin Config checks real Minecraft operator/server permissions.
🔧 Config Key Recipe

- 1 Book
🔴 Admin Config
Only players with administrator/operator permissions can modify global StoneTombs settings.

📖 Built-In Help & Guide

The guide explains:

- Teleportation
- Tracking

🧟 Optional Grave Effects

Both options are completely optional.
🌐 Dimensions
StoneTombs works across:
- 🌳 Overworld
- 🔥 Nether
- 🐉 The End
Grave records remember their dimension, and tracking/teleport systems use that information when helping you return.
