📋 About This Mod
A lightweight and customizable grave plugin with explosion protection, smart placement, particle effects, nametag display, expiry system and full config support.
# ⚰️ Graves A lightweight, feature-rich grave plugin for Minecraft SMP servers. When you die, your items are stored in a grave — retrieve them by right-clicking it.
## ✨ Features
### ⚰️ Grave System On death, all your items are automatically stored in a Soul Sand grave at your death location. Right-click it to retrieve everything instantly. Items that don't fit in your inventory are dropped on the ground.
### 📍 Smart Placement The grave always finds a valid location — if you die in the air it places itself on the nearest solid block below, and if you die in water it surfaces to the top of the liquid.
### 💥 Explosion Protection Graves are fully protected from explosions. TNT, creepers, and any other explosion source cannot destroy a grave block.
### ✨ Particles & Nametag Each grave displays a custom nametag showing the owner's name and the time remaining before expiry, updated every second. Soul particles orbit the grave continuously, making it easy to spot.
### 🔊 Sounds A sound plays when a grave is created and when it is looted — both configurable.
### ⏳ Expiry System Graves expire after a configurable delay. When a grave expires, items either drop on the ground or are deleted — your choice. Set the delay to `0` to disable expiry entirely.
### 💬 Death Messages Send a private message to the player who died and/or broadcast to the whole server — with or without coordinates, fully configurable.
### 🛡️ Admin Commands Operators and players with the `graves.admin` permission can list, delete and clean up any player's graves and nametags via the `/graveadmin` subcommand system.
### ⚙️ Full Config Support Customize expiry time, owner-only looting, nametag format, world blacklist, expiry behavior, death messages and sounds — all from `config.yml`.
