The Graveyard

On death, a player lands in the Graveyard Dimension, a mirror of the Overworld that keeps the same terrain but only the Pale Garden biome. Death sends the player falling through the sky over their spawn coordinates. Players in the Graveyard are weak and cannot sprint or break blocks, which makes escape a slow task. Players in the Overworld can see ghosts wandering nearby, and those ghosts act as representations that let players interact between the two dimensions.

The server must run The Graveyard, while players may add it for extra features, so the server carries the requirement. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it is not open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with 1.5.1+mod for 26.2 as the latest build, across game versions 26.1 – 26.2.

A soul bar tracks health and takes damage from most sources, and it can be checked by hovering over the soul in its chest slot. Players heal the soul by crouching while holding remains from killed mobs, and a soul starts at 50 energy with a maximum of 200. Buffs scale with how much energy the soul holds, and very low energy brings major debuffs. Some hostile mobs in the Graveyard have abilities found nowhere else, and shields break on use there. Players can leave by crafting a Reawakening Apple from the listed ingredients and consuming it at 200 energy. Players in the Overworld can also craft a Recovery Core to revive a ghost, which returns the player with at most 5 hearts.
