Advanced Graves
by nos1130
Advanced Graves places a grave at the spot where a player dies, holding the dropped items and experience so they can be recovered later.
What it does
When a player dies, the items from the inventory are stored in a grave placed at the death location, and the experience can be kept or dropped as orbs depending on the config. Graves are invulnerable to explosions from TNT and creepers, and they stay hidden until their owner claims them. Ownership is enforced, so only the owner can open a grave, and protection bubbles keep other players from griefing it. The mod can also be used with the Advanced Graves datapack on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and its behavior is set through an in-game menu opened with the G key.
Server owners decide how the mod behaves. Settings cover the experience drop percentage, remote looting, a grave limit, glowing graves and what happens after a grave is announced. Changes are made with toggles, sliders and commands, so editing files is not needed. The mod is published for 1.21.6 – 1.21.11 on all four loaders, and the datapack variant is also listed for that range. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out, and the license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features

A menu lets players track their graves, showing the player name, grave ID and days survived in the world.
