Gravestones

by Pneumono

Players who die leave a Gravestone block behind that holds their items, and right-clicking it returns them to their original positions, a feature of Gravestones by Pneumono.

What it does

On death, the mod places a block that stores the player's items, and interacting with it returns them to the inventory slots they came from. The design follows the vanilla look, with textures that match the base game, and most behavior can be tuned in the config file, including settings meant to suit a specific server.

Gravestones decay by default, both over time and after subsequent deaths, which shows up as a visible change in the block texture. Once the configured amount of decay is reached, the block breaks and spills its contents onto the ground, where the vanilla five-minute despawn timer then applies. The mod requires Fabric API and PneumonoCore, and the environment is client and server, so servers and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt, with builds for 1.20 – 26.2 and 1.4.2+26.2+A as the latest file, first released on 2023-12-22 and updated 2026-07-27. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Item-returning graves

    Right-clicking a gravestone returns the stored items to the slots the player occupied before death.

  2. Decay over time

    Gravestones can decay with time, and the rate and limit are set in the configuration.

  3. Decay from further deaths

    Dying again near an existing gravestone adds decay, which the config can switch off.

  4. Stored experience

    Gravestones can hold experience points, and the amount stored is configurable.

  5. Shared access

    Players other than the owner can be allowed to open a gravestone, depending on the server setting.

How it compares

Full comparison

Simple Graves is client and server, open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, and runs on Fabric for 1.21.5. Gravestone ZT runs on Fabric and NeoForge for 26.2 – 26.3 and is not open source, so it fits a newer version range than this mod's. Tils Graves is a server-required mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt covering 1.21 – 1.21.10 under a non-commercial Creative Commons license, meaning clients may omit it.

Questions

Does Gravestones need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API and PneumonoCore are both required dependencies, so both must be installed alongside Gravestones.

Must players install Gravestones to join a server?

Yes. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

Can gravestones be made to last forever?

Decay is on by default, but the configuration exposes options to change how gravestones decay over time and after further deaths.

Is Gravestones available for Forge?

No. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt only, for game versions 1.20 – 26.2.

What the author says

Gravestones adds blocks which store your items on death. You just right-click, and your items will go back to their original positions. It's a fairly standard grave mod, but with nicer, vanilla-style textures, extra config options to help tailor the mod to specific servers, and the option to use gravestones in builds.
