Perfect Graves
by risenxxx
When a player dies, Perfect Graves leaves the items in a gravestone at the death spot, and a claims-aware system decides where that grave can be placed.
What it does
On death, the mod places a grave that holds the player's inventory, armor, Curios slots and XP, with a 3×3 obsidian platform on top so the grave can be located. The grave is placed on the last safe ground, scanned for air above and below when needed, and kept out of other players' claims. Rings, amulets and charms return to the same Curios slot after a respawn, and items added by other mods that drop on death are captured in the grave alongside vanilla items.
Right-clicking the grave or breaking it returns the gear to its exact slots. A 10-minute protection timer, which can be configured and pauses while the owner is offline, keeps other players from taking the contents. Perfect Graves is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 1.1.1 as the latest file.
Key features
Claims-aware placement
Graves never spawn inside another player's claim, and several claim systems are recognized without extra setup.
Curios slot restoration
Rings, amulets and charms go back into the same Curios slot they occupied, and accessories from other mods are handled as well.
Protection timer
A configurable 10-minute timer keeps other players out, and it pauses while the owner is offline.
Hologram and marker
A hologram shows the owner's name, item count, XP and the remaining protection time, and a long-distance marker stays readable across the biome.

Use cases
Recovering gear after a death
A player who dies in a dangerous area can walk back to the grave and right-click it to get items and XP back in their original slots.
Servers with claim mods
Server owners who run land claim mods can rely on graves avoiding claimed chunks, so no one's protected area is changed by a death.

What the author says
When you die in vanilla Minecraft, your items hit the floor on a five-minute timer and anyone within sprinting distance can sweep the lot. Perfect Graves replaces that scramble with a gravestone that knows where you fell, what you were wearing, and what else is going on with your server. Right-click your grave (or…
