Check whether the grave expired, was destroyed, or spawned in an unreachable spot like inside lava or the void. If a Grave Key exists for it, using the key can still recover the items even when you can't physically reach the grave.

Yes, it works on servers, but grave behavior, key distribution, and access rules are controlled by the server's config. If graves behave differently than in singleplayer, ask the server admin about the Simple Tomb settings.
Can other players steal from my grave?
By default graves are usually protected so only the owner can open them, but this depends on your configuration. Server admins can change ownership and access rules, so check the config if you're worried about theft.
What happens if I die again before retrieving my items?
You'll typically get a second grave at the new death location, and your first grave remains until you open it or it expires. Keep track of both, since older graves may despawn based on your config's timer.
Does Simple Tomb work with other death or inventory mods?
It can conflict with mods that also handle death drops or inventory keeping, since both may try to manage your items. If items are duplicating or vanishing, disable the overlapping feature in one of the mods.
Does Simple Tomb cause lag or performance issues?
Graves are lightweight blocks, so performance impact is normally negligible even with many deaths. If you notice lag, check config options like grave expiration and any logging features that might accumulate data over time.
What does the Simple Tomb Mod do?
When a player dies, Simple Tomb spawns a tombstone or flowerpot at the death location that stores all of their items. After respawning, the player can recover those items by returning to the grave.
What item does Simple Tomb add?
The mod registers a grave key. It shows the exact coordinates of your tomb, and it can be used with a bow to teleport to the tomb's location.

What Minecraft versions does Simple Tomb support?

Does Simple Tomb need to be installed on the client?

How do I recover my items after dying with Simple Tomb?
After respawning, move closer to the grave or interact with it by right-clicking twice to pull the flower out and plant it again. The grave holds all of your items from the death location.
Why can I only activate one tombstone after respawning?
By design, a player can only activate one tombstone by proximity after a single resurrection. The rest must be activated by interacting with the flowerpots, and after a server restart all players need to interact with the pots again.
Does Simple Tomb have admin commands?
Yes. Server admins can list, restore, or delete graves using specific commands.
