Assorted Graves
Assorted Graves places a grave at the spot where a player dies, holding the items, experience and armor the player was carrying.
What it does
When a player dies, everything carried goes into a grave placed right where the player fell. Experience stays with the grave, and the player keeps the level, so the usual vanilla drop of a small amount of experience does not apply. A headstone shows the name of the player, along with the date and time of death. Chat tells the player where the grave is and how to find the way back to it.
Walking back to the grave and right clicking it returns the items to the inventory, and armor and hotbar slots go back the way the player left them. Graves are not lost to explosions, pistons or bosses, since those cannot move or break them. Nothing despawns while the player is away. Items with the Curse of Vanishing still vanish, even with keepInventory enabled, because the grave is made from the drops. Options are kept in the assortedgraves-common config file.
The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge, for the single game version 26.2. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and needs Assorted Lib and Fabric API. Installation has to be on both the client and the server.

How it compares
Skull Graves uses the MIT License and runs on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1 – 26.3, with no open-source requirement stated. Way to Grave is not open source, is server required with client optional, and covers 1.21.5 – 26.3 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. FaGraves is open source under the MIT License, is server-side only, and is Fabric only for 1.21.9 – 26.2, so it does not need a client mod but has no NeoForge build.

What the author says
When you die, everything you were carrying goes into a grave right where you fell. Walk back, right click it and it all goes back where it was. Your armor goes back on and your hotbar is just how you left it. Nothing despawns while you're gone. These are in the assortedgraves-common config file.
