About this project

What does BetterGravestone add?

🪦 BetterGravestone — Lightweight Death Item Protection


BetterGravestone is a lightweight and efficient mod that spawns a gravestone when a player dies, safely storing their dropped items inside it.
No commands, no schedulers, no databases — everything is stored directly in the block.

Perfect for survival servers that want a clean and fair way to recover items after death without clutter or performance impact.


✨ Features

  • 🪦 Spawns a gravestone at the player’s death location
  • 📦 Stores dropped items directly inside the grave
  • ⏱️ Items are retrievable for a configurable amount of time (default 30 minutes)
  • 🔒 Only the owner can access their gravestone (configurable with permissions)
  • Extremely lightweight – no external storage or schedulers
  • 💬 Fully customizable messages using TinyMsg formatting
  • 🧱 All data is stored inside the block itself

⚙️ Configuration

BetterGravestone uses a simple JSON configuration file.
All messages support TinyMsg formatting, including colors and placeholders.
