Very Simple Gravestones
by Conure512
Very Simple Gravestones spawns a gravestone at the place a player dies, storing that player's items until they are collected.
What it does
When a player dies, a gravestone appears where the death happened and holds the items the player was carrying. A player who returns to it clicks the gravestone to take the items back. Gravestones do not despawn, so the stored items stay in place until someone collects them.
The mod is built for survival play on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a Data pack version is also available for servers. A server must run it, while players may leave it out. Files cover the game versions 1.19.4 – 26.3, and the mod is released under the MIT License without being open source. Beta builds for 1.21.4 and earlier are noted by the author as cross-compatible with later releases, and the author warns that upgrading to newer versions is at the user's own risk.
Key features
Death gravestones
A gravestone is placed at the point of death and stores the items that the player was carrying.
Permanent storage
Gravestones never despawn, so the stored items remain available until they are retrieved.
Simple retrieval
A player clicks the gravestone to get the items back, with no extra steps or menus.
Lightweight design
The author describes the functionality as simple and internally efficient, limited to placing gravestones and returning items.
