GraveStone Mod: Keeping Your Items After Death
GraveStone Mod places a grave holding your items whenever you die, so a death no longer means losing everything. This guide covers how it works.
The grave
Every time you die, a 
Grave is placed at your position containing your items. To get them back, simply break the grave — or, with a config option enabled, sneak on it to retrieve everything. Right-clicking a grave shows information about that death. You can also craft a Grave yourself from two Cobblestone and three Dirt.
Slot sorting
A key convenience: the grave can store your items back into their original inventory slots when you retrieve them, so your hotbar and armor return where they belong rather than in a jumbled pile. This makes recovering from a death fast and tidy.
The Obituary
Each death also produces an 
Obituary — a record listing the player's name, the dimension they died in, the date, and the coordinates of the death. It is a handy way to find your way back to where you died, and it can be disabled in the config if you prefer. Together, the grave and obituary turn death into a recoverable, well-documented event.
