Gravestone Addon (1.26, 1.21) – Create a Grave When The Player Dies

Dying in Minecraft Bedrock and losing all your hard-earned gear to lava or a creeper ambush is one of the most frustrating experiences in the game. Gravestone Addon solves this by spawning a protective entity at your death location that safely holds all your items until you return. Whether you die in the Overworld, the Nether, or even deep inside a lava pool, your belongings stay intact and recoverable.

Key Features

  • Death marker entity — When you die, an entity spawns at the exact location of your death. The coordinates and dimension are tracked so you can find your way back.
  • Simple item retrieval — Hit the gravestone entity to break it. All your stored items drop to the ground, ready to be picked up.
  • Lava-proof protection — Dying in lava no longer means losing everything. A 5x5x5 protective cube generates around the entity, keeping your items safe from being destroyed. The entity itself is immune to lava damage.
  • Works across dimensions — Whether you perish in the Overworld, the Nether, or the End, the gravestone entity spawns and protects your inventory.
