Datapack Graves

Graves, a Minecraft datapack for safer deaths

Graves turns player deaths into a more manageable setback on a Minecraft server. Instead of scattering equipment across the terrain, it creates a grave at the death location and stores the player’s items and experience until they return. Opening the grave restores its contents, with support for original inventory slots and recovery options in difficult areas, including void deaths.

Designed for Java Edition, this multiplayer friendly datapack offers extensive configuration. Server owners can adjust despawn behavior, ownership locks, keys, auto unlocking, death coordinates, locator compasses, visual effects, and which items or experience are preserved. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for survival servers seeking greater security without removing every consequence of dying.
