Gravestone Mod Minecraft FAQ

20 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I get my stuff back after dying with the gravestone mod?
Find the grave that spawned where you died and break it, or right-click it depending on your config, to release your stored items. If you can't find it, check your obituary, which records your death location.
What is the obituary for in the gravestone mod?
The obituary logs your deaths and tells you where your grave is, so you can navigate back to recover your items. It's the tool you use when you died somewhere you don't remember.
How do graves and obituaries work together?
When you die, a grave spawns at your death spot holding your items, and an obituary entry is created pointing to that grave. Use the obituary to locate the grave, then break the grave to get everything back.
Does the gravestone mod work on servers and with other mods?
Yes, it's commonly used on servers and generally plays fine with other mods since it only hooks into player death. If another mod also handles death drops, check your config so items aren't duplicated or lost.
Why did my grave not spawn or why are my items gone?
Grave spawning can be disabled or limited in the config, and dying in certain dimensions or in lava/void may prevent a grave from forming. Check the configuration options for grave behavior and whether graves are enabled at all.
What is the ghost of player mob and is it dangerous?
The Ghost of Player is a mob added by the mod that appears related to player deaths. It's not meant to be a major threat, but you can deal with it by fighting it or avoiding it; check the mob's page for its exact behavior.
How do I configure the gravestone mod for my world?
Open the mod's config file to toggle options like whether graves spawn, how long they last, and whether the obituary is given. Changes usually apply to new deaths, so test after editing.
Can I use the gravestone mod in a hardcore or keep-inventory world?
Yes, but you may want to adjust the config so graves don't spawn when keepInventory is on, otherwise you could end up with duplicate items. Set grave spawning to match how you want death handled.
How do I stop the ghost of player from spawning?
Look for a config option that controls the Ghost of Player mob and disable it there. If no toggle exists, you can avoid triggering it by changing how deaths are handled in your config.
Is the gravestone mod laggy or bad for performance?
It's lightweight since it only acts on player death events, so it shouldn't affect normal performance. If you have many graves or ghosts accumulating, clearing old graves can help on long-running servers.
What does the Gravestone Mod do in Minecraft?
It places a grave at your location when you die and keeps all your items safe inside. Breaking the grave or sneaking on it returns your items, and the mod can even put them back into their original inventory slots.
How do I use the Gravestone Mod?

How do I get my items back from a grave in the Gravestone Mod?

What is the obituary item in the Gravestone Mod?
The obituary is an item you receive with details like your name, death location, date, and a full list of lost items. Admins can sneak and right-click an obituary to get a pre-made restore command.
Can I pick up a grave as a block in the Gravestone Mod?
