FaGraves

by savva

FaGraves, a Fabric server mod by savva, places a lootable death chest at the spot where a player dies.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.9 – 26.2

What it does

When a player dies, FaGraves creates a grave block holding the items from their inventory, so the drops stay in one place to collect. The mod is a Fabric port of the AxGraves plugin and is a fork of it. Its operations run asynchronously, and no grave data is written to the world file because graves are handled through packets.

Configuration is kept minimal, and a world blacklist can switch graves off in specific worlds. The mod has no client component, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. A developer API is noted as supported. Files exist for Fabric only, across 26.2 and the 1.21.9 – 26.2 range, with 0.1.1 for 26.2 as the latest file, released under the MIT License. The source code is public.

Key features

  1. Death chests

    Items from a dying player's inventory are placed in a lootable grave chest at the death location.

  2. Asynchronous operations

    Most grave operations run asynchronously, so handling graves does not block the main server thread.

  3. Per-world blacklist

    Server owners can list worlds where graves are disabled, leaving death drops unchanged there.

  4. No world-file storage

    Grave state is handled through packets, and nothing is stored in the world file.

Questions

Does FaGraves need to be installed on the client?

No. Server owners install it, and players connect with no copy of their own.

Which loader and versions does FaGraves support?

Files are published for Fabric only, across the 1.21.9 – 26.2 range, with builds for 26.2 and 26.1.2 among others.

Are the graves saved between restarts?

Grave state is handled through packets and is not stored in the world file, so the mod does not save grave data to the world.
