Fiw Graves
by Fi3w0
Fiw Graves places a grave at the point of death that holds the player's items and experience, and it can be recovered by the player who died.
What it does
When a player dies, Fiw Graves creates a grave that stores the dropped items and experience. Players can walk back to the grave and open it, then take the contents in one action: sneaking and right-clicking collects everything at once and returns the experience immediately. Graves crumble after a configurable time, ten minutes by default, and drop whatever remains.
The mod is built around a safety net. The original contents are copied into a separate backup at the moment the grave is created, and that copy is retained for a configurable number of days whether or not the grave was collected in the usual way. An operator can use a command to respawn lost loot as a fresh grave, and the grave data is stored with Minecraft's own SavedData system, so it is saved with the world. Admin commands are gated behind operator level 2 permission.
Only the server carries Fiw Graves: nothing has to be added on the client, so a player can connect with an unchanged vanilla game. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1 and 1.21.11, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Clean grave collection
Sneak and right-click on a grave to take all items and experience at once, leaving the grave empty.
Packet-only grave markers
Grave markers are sent as network packets, so nothing is written to the world chunks and vanilla clients see the graves.
Backup of original contents
The original contents of each grave are backed up and kept for a set number of days, even if the grave is never opened.
Lost loot respawn
An operator command respawns lost loot as a fresh grave, which helps when items were removed by mistake.
Grave teleporting option
Teleporting to graves is off for regular players by default and can be turned on for all players in the config.

What the author says
A place for your things when you're gone. Die, and your items and XP settle into a grave — a floating head, a few lines of text, and one of seven dry epitaphs. Walk back, crack it open, move on with your life.
