Vanilla Graves

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!).
