Basic Functionality
Every time you die, a grave is placed at your position. To retrieve your items just break the grave. There is also a config option to get your items back by sneaking on the grave (1.16.3+ only).
When you right-click the grave it will show information regarding the death of the player.
Sorting (1.16.3+)
Since version 1.16.3-2.0.0 the grave is now able to store your items back into their original slots.
The Obituary
Everytime you die you get an obituary. If you don't want that you can disable it in the config.
It contains:
- The name of the player
- The dimension the player died in
- The date the player died
- The coordinates where the player died
- An image of the player with its equipment at the time of death
- A list of every item the player had when he died
If you don't want to keep the obituary after you recovered your items, you can enable the automatic removal in the config.
Naming the Grave
If you break the grave with silk touch, you get it dropped as an item. You can also craft graves.
Naming the grave in an anvil, allows you to have custom text displayed on your grave.
Customization
There are several things you can change in the configs:
- The color of the text on the grave
- If the skull on the grave should be rendered
- Whether you want to get the obituary on death
- The plocks that can get replaced by a grave
- If the death note should get removed form the players inventory when breaking a grave
- If only the owners of the grave should be able to break it
- If a ghost of the player should spawn when breaking the grave
- If the ghost should be friendly and defend the player or if it should attack the player
- If the grave should get broken when sneaking on the grave
- If the items should get sorted back into their original slots when breaking the grave
Recovering Lost Items (1.16.3+)
If you somehow lost your items you can recover them with the recover command.
The syntax is /restore <player> <death_id> <replace|add>
.
The parameter player
is the player whose inventory should get restored.
The parameter death_id
is the ID of the death. You can find it out by enabling advanced tooltips (F3 + H) and opening the obituary. The death ID also gets written into the logs if a grave couldn't get placed.
The last parameter defines if you want to get the players inventory replaced (Overwritten) or added (Just adds the items to the players existing inventory).
You can also get a pre made restore command by sneaking and right-clicking the obituary as an admin.
Edge Cases
If you die inside a block, the grave is placed at the next empty space above your location. If there is no free block above your position, or you are above the build limit, your items drop as usual.
If you fall into the void, the grave is placed at Y=1. If there is no free space it will get placed at the next free spot above.
When I die no grave spawns and I don't get anything telling me where the grave it the only way I can get my stuff back is if I find the spot I died place a block and break the block does anyone know why this is?

Q: How can I get rid of the beacon on my death location?
A: There is no beacon in this mod. This is most likely from a minimap mod.
Q: Where is the config file located?
A: There are two types of configs. The config for the server side is located in your world folder in a subfolder called 'serverconfig'. The client side config is located in your '.minecraft' folder inside a subfolder called 'config'. Note that the client side and the server side config isn't the same. You can't put stuff from the server config into the client config. If you can't find the option you are looking for in the client config, try looking into the server config. There is always a server config, even if you are playing singleplayer, as it also uses an internal server.

i apologize for my stupidity
is there a 1.12.2 version
In reply to ryallthegreat:
Yes
hey is there a way to remove graves and the items inside from the world files? i have a server and a friend got stuck and used graves to get out (by fall damage) and i think it overloaded the chunk? im not sure if thats the correct term but basically whenever someone joins the server with the mod active when they are in the chunk it kicks them immediately and if anyone enters the chunk they get kicked and they couldn't join until i removed the mod. im using the 1.16.1 version if that helps.
In reply to AgeGarret:
You could remove the mod and start the server without the mod. But that would remove every grave and obituary.
You can report this to the issue tracker if you want.
