Entombed
Entombed places a gravestone holding a dead player's drops at the spot of death, and returns the items when the player retrieves them.
What it does
When a player dies, the drops are stored in a tomb that appears at the place of death instead of scattering on the ground. Items are placed back exactly where they were in the inventory, and the mod respects the KeepInventory gamerule. Curses of vanishing and curses of binding are handled, and items with those curses vanish as vanilla expects.
Retrieval can be done at the tomb itself or with a command, which suits servers that want a fixed way to recover gear. Placement is checked for safety, and the mod is compatible with many inventory mods and includes a migration path from HenkelMax's GraveStone Mod. Compatibility with Sable and Create Aeronautics and with the Curios API is also listed.
Entombed is open source under the MIT License and requires Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL). Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, both for 1.21.1, with the latest build 2.2.3 dated 2026-07-12. Installation covers the server and each player's game.
Key features
Drops stored in a tomb
Death drops go into a gravestone block at the place of death rather than onto the ground.
Items returned in place
Items are put back in their original inventory slots when the tomb is opened.
Curse handling
Curses of vanishing and curses of binding are processed, so affected items vanish as expected.
Retrieval command
A command retrieves a tomb's contents, giving server owners an alternative to opening the block.
