Description

Losing hours of progress to a surprise creeper or a long fall is frustrating—but "tombstone" mods often feel out of place in a blocky world. Vanilla Graves offers a lightweight, lore-friendly solution that uses Minecraft's existing mechanics to protect your hard-earned gear.

Key Features

  • Automatic Chest Placement: Upon death, the mod checks your inventory. If you are carrying items, it instantly places a chest (or a double chest) at your feet to store everything safely.

  • Death Coordinates: No more guessing where you fell. The moment you respawn, a private message appears in your chat with the exact X, Y, and Z coordinates of your grave.

  • Lava Protection: The mod attempts to find the safest nearby spot to place the chest, preventing your items from burning away instantly.

  • Minimalist & Lightweight: No new blocks, no complex GUI, and no "magic" items. It feels like a feature Mojang forgot to add.

How it Works

  1. Die: (Try not to, but it happens!)

  2. Generate: The mod searches for air or replaceable blocks at your death site.

  3. Store: Your items are moved from your inventory into a standard Minecraft chest.

  4. Recover: Check your chat, travel to the coordinates, and grab your gear.

Note: If you aren't carrying any items when you die, no chest will be placed to keep the world clutter-free!


Technical Details

  • Compatibility: Works seamlessly with most modded biomes and dimensions.

  • Server-Side: This mod can be installed on a server without requiring players to have it on their local machines (perfect for SMPs!).
