Just Graves
by Jakomi1
Just Graves lets a player who dies on a Fabric server recover their inventory and experience later from a grave placed where they fell.
What it does
On death, the mod places a grave at the player's location and stores the inventory and XP in it. The owner can open the grave after a protection period, which is configurable, and until that time ends other players cannot loot it. After the protection time, anyone can take the contents. A grave command lists the player's graves with their locations and timestamps, so a player who has died several times can find each one.
Collective is required, and it handles item storage so that complex inventories are serialized and restored reliably. Protection times and messages are adjusted in the config files. Server owners install it, and players connect with no copy of their own. Just Graves is published for Fabric 1.21.8 – 1.21.10 under the MIT License and is not open source.
