Resource Backpacks - Graves Compat
by Zerotet
Resource Backpacks - Graves Compat keeps an equipped Resource Backpack inside a Universal Graves tomb when its owner dies, so the backpack is not left behind.
What it does
When a player with a Resource Backpack equipped dies, the backpack goes into the tomb that Universal Graves creates, rather than dropping on the ground where it can be lost. The compatibility layer is what makes the two mods work together on a server.
Installation needs Fabric Loader 0.15.0 or newer, Fabric API, Resource Backpack's and Universal Graves. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, and the environment is server-side only, so players join without installing it. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Backpack kept in the tomb
An equipped Resource Backpack is stored inside the grave when its owner dies, instead of being scattered on the ground.
Universal Graves integration
The mod hooks into Universal Graves so that the tomb holds the backpack together with the rest of the death drops.
Lost items avoided
Without this layer, a backpack dropped on death can be lost, and the tomb keeps it recoverable at the grave.

How it compares
Smart Graves is a Fabric grave mod for 1.21.11 that runs on both the client and the server, and it is not open source under the MIT License. Server Backpacks is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, runs server-side only and targets 1.17.1 – 1.18.1, so it covers older versions than this mod.
