Customizing Grave Timers and Death Penalty Rules

Changing How Long Graves Last

Graves automatically clear themselves after a set amount of time passes so old death markers do not remain in your world forever. You can adjust this timer in the mod's configuration file inside your Minecraft config folder:

1. Open the configuration file in a text editor and locate MaxGraveLifespan.

2. Enter your preferred duration in game ticks (20 ticks equal 1 second). The default value is 72000 (1 hour), and you can set any number from 1 up to 864000 (12 hours).

3. Save the file and restart your game or server to apply the change.

Adjusting Item Loss and Spawn Rules

You can also tweak how punishing deaths are and how graves appear in the world using these settings in the same configuration file:

• ItemLostPercentage: Controls the percentage of items lost upon death, accepting a value from 0.0 to 100.0 (set to 100.0 by default). Adjust this number to add or reduce challenge.
• GravestoneOnDeath: Set to false if you want to disable placing drops into gravestones on death.
• EmptyGraves: Change from false to true if you want graves to spawn even when there are no drops to store.
• CoarseDirtBelowGraves: Change from false to true to allow coarse dirt to spawn underneath graves.
