Gravestone mod - Graves
by nightkosh
Graves places a gravestone where a player dies, holding the items that were carried at the time.
What it does
A gravestone appears wherever a creature dies, whether a person, a villager, a dog, a cat or a horse, and it keeps the items for later retrieval. Soulbound enchantment lets items be kept through death, and the mod adds eight achievements tied to these features.
Graves runs on Forge and NeoForge in both the client and server environment, so the server and every player need it. It is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, with files for 1.12.2 and 26.2.
Key features
Gravestones for the dead
A grave is left behind at the death site and keeps the items that were carried, ready to be collected.
Soulbound enchantment
The Soulbound enchantment keeps the enchanted items after death, so they are not left in the gravestone.
Chisel-crafted decoration
Gravestone decorations can be crafted with the Chisel tool for building cemeteries.
