Forgotten Graves
by ginsm
On death, a player's items and XP go into a grave that decays over time, a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.18.1 – 1.20.4 by ginsm.
What it does
Forgotten Graves places a grave at the spot where a player dies and stores the dropped items and experience inside it. The grave then decays at random intervals through four stages, and the configuration file controls how the mod behaves. Client and server both need the mod, because the grave and its contents are handled on the server while players see the grave on their side.
The mod requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API. Optional integrations exist for BackSlot, Inventorio, Mod Menu and Trinkets. Files are published for Fabric only, across 12 release versions in the 1.18.1 – 1.20.4 range, and the code is under the MIT License, so it is open source.
Key features
Item and XP storage
Items and experience from a death are held in one grave instead of dropping onto the ground.
Staged decay
The grave passes through four stages at random intervals before it disappears.
Configurable behavior
Options for the grave and its decay are set in a configuration file, documented on the project wiki.
