Losing your inventory after a bad death can derail a survival session fast. Universal Graves Mod replaces that panic with a simple grave system: when you die, your items and experience are stored at the death location, the grave uses your player head, and chat shows the coordinates so you can return and recover what you lost. For single-player worlds and small servers with friends, it adds a clearer, more controlled way to handle death, with configurable protection time, PvP behavior, holograms, messages, and grave settings.
Key Features
- Creates a grave at the place of death so your items and experience can be retrieved later.
- Uses your player head as the grave and displays information about the cause of death and the contents.
- Posts grave coordinates in chat after death, including location details, dimension, and protection duration.
- Protects graves from other players for about 5 minutes by default, with item loss after 15 minutes if the grave breaks.
- Supports configurable messages, blocks, holograms, PvP behavior, and item protection timing.
- Allows players with permission to teleport to their graves, and a compass can point to the grave location.
