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 blocks 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 the lowest point in the world where blocks can be placed. If there is no free space it will get placed at the next free spot above.
I like this mod. Is it intentional that the maximum amount of experience dropped is fixed at level 18? can i configure this? or can I set it so that my experience doesn't drop? (Setting the experience points with a different setting mode will cause a bug.)

This mod doesn't store experience
Can this be made to work with dynmap forge/fabric (specifically the forge version in this case) or does it have to be updated to support it first?
In reply to ata_fluk3:
theres no reason why it shouldnt work
Is it possible to spawn the ghost entity with the closest players skin? I want to use the mods ghost for something else entirely.
I don't understand what nbt data I need to add to the entity to make it grab the players skin, I can't even summon it with my own player skin
/summon gravestone:player_ghost ~ ~ ~ {EntityData: {CustomName: '{"text":"@p"}'}}I downloaded this mod and I died in a server I clicked my grave right because I died and now it is invisible I tried the folders and everything nothing is there
Hello, This mod works fine in a single-player world, but it does not work in a multiplayer server - hosted with forged server. Gravestones do not spawn after death, nor do we receive obituary. I looked up and made sure everything was the same in configs as in my single-player world where it works, tho i can use /restore command so at least I know the mod is active. Would be glad if I knew why it does not work or if there are any solutions for it to work. Thanks!

Make sure the same version of the mod is installed on client AND server
I am using this mod in a CurseForge modpack (1.18.1) with my friends (hosted via hamachi) and I wanted to change the collection of the gravestone so that we can crouch on them to collect. However I the "config" button inside Minecraft is greyed out so that I can't click it, and I cannot find a "serverconfig" file or folder in the world folder at all. How can I configure the mod, or can I at all since it is through the CurseForge launcher?
Hello.
I cannot find my grave and i got my Obituary. I checked the Coordinates but i cannot find it. I installed a Freecam mod and i cannot find it. I lost hope and threw the obituary away and then i noticed that i could've have gave the owner the Obituary to Sneak and Right click to restore my items but.. It sadly despawned i checked the logs since if it didnt spawn it should have gave me the Death ID. But again i cannot it i searched every log in my files and yet no hope. Is there anymore ways to restore my items?
Cheers, Earl.
In reply to thatdepressedman:
If you don't have the death ID, theres no way to get it back, except manually searching in the files.
There should be a folder within your world simply called 'deaths' which stores a file for every death containing the UUID as its filename. You should be able to pinpoint which UUID is associated with the death you're trying to restore based on the time the file was last modified, but if that fails you at least have every death available to brute-force in-game.
Can this work with 1.18.1?
In reply to ButlerShurkbait:
yes??
In reply to henkelmax:
Sorry, I'm not too used to curseforge, I just found out how to find the 1.18.1 version
I was wondering if in the future you could make the mod compatible with backpack mods because I noticed that when wearing a backpack and I die, the backpack doesn't go in the grave.
My body on a server went invisible, now every time we die our gravestone is invisible. You can mine through it but can't step over the invisible gravestone. It'll glitch you out.
In reply to AlioGremory:
make sure you actually installed the mod on the client
In reply to henkelmax:
The problem is it is installed. Not showing up on the severs. I made sure the server had the mod as well. I don't know what's going on.
first thanks for creating this mod, well could you give me a brief explanation of how to locate the config of the "remove obtuary"? because either I'm not finding the folder or I'm not able to decipher, because I managed to find on the server and disabled however, I keep getting the obtuary, probably I have to edit also in the folder of the mod that is installed in my minecraft, that's the problem.
