Datapack Graves

Graves, a safer death experience

Graves is a Minecraft Java datapack that replaces scattered death drops with a marked grave at the player’s death location. The grave stores inventory items and experience, helping players recover their equipment without racing against item despawn or searching through dangerous terrain.

Designed for multiplayer, it offers extensive configuration through an in game settings menu. Server owners can adjust whether graves disappear, set their lifetime, control which items are preserved, and enable useful options such as a death locator compass. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for any Minecraft server seeking a more forgiving survival experience while keeping death meaningful.
