Gravestone Extended Mod — Guide
Death Mechanics & Recovery
When a player dies, the mod ensures their items are protected within a Gravestone. This marker prevents item despawning and provides a clear point of recovery.
The Obituary
Upon respawning, the player receives an Obituary (Death Note). This item is crucial for recovery as it contains: * Player Name: The owner of the grave. * Coordinates: Exact X, Y, Z location of the death. * Dimension: Where the death occurred (Overworld, Nether, etc.). * Death Date: The in-game day and time of the incident. * Inventory List: A full list of items stored in the grave.
Gravestone Generation
Gravestones are not just generic blocks; their appearance can change based on the circumstances of death:
| Death Cause | Gravestone Appearance |
|---|---|
| Explosion | Charged Creeper Statue |
| Starving/Wither | Skeleton Corpse |
| Magic | Grave with an Enchanted Aura |
| Jungle/Swamp | Mossy Gravestone |
| Equipped Sword | 25% chance to spawn as a Sword stuck in the ground |
Retrieval & Customization
- Retrieval: Breaking the grave returns all items. Using a Shovel to click the grave allows you to retrieve items without destroying the block.
- Silk Touch: Using a Silk Touch pickaxe allows players to pick up the gravestone as an item while preserving its data.
- Renaming: Gravestones can be renamed in an Anvil to display custom text on the marker.
