Essential Graveyard Mod Crafting Recipes: Coffins, Dark Iron, and Core Items
This guide covers the essential crafting recipes for coffins, dark iron, and other core items in The Graveyard (FABRIC) mod.
Dark Iron and Its Components
Dark Iron is a central material used in many of the mod's recipes. To obtain
Dark Iron Ingots, you must use a shapeless crafting recipe combining one
Corruption item with one standard
Iron Ingot. This single conversion is the primary way to create the material.
Dark Iron Ingot: Corruption + Iron Ingot (shapeless)
Once you have ingots, you can store them or use them to craft other dark iron variants.
Dark Iron Block: Craft with 9
Dark Iron Ingots in a standard 3x3 square. This block can also be reversed back into 9 ingots using a shapeless recipe.
Dark Iron Bars: Craft with 6
Dark Iron Ingots in two horizontal rows of three, yielding 16 bars.
Dark Iron Door: Craft with 6
Dark Iron Ingots in two vertical columns of three, yielding 3 doors.
Dark Iron Trapdoor: Craft with 4
Dark Iron Ingots in a 2x2 square, yielding 2 trapdoors.
These dark iron items serve as both functional blocks and decorative elements for builds themed around the mod.
Coffin Recipes
Coffins are a signature decorative block. Every coffin recipe follows the same pattern: you need 8 planks of a specific wood type arranged around the edges of the crafting grid, with 1
Dark Iron Ingot placed in the center square. The following wood types are supported:
Acacia Coffin: 8 Acacia Planks + 1 Dark Iron Ingot
Bamboo Coffin: 8 Bamboo Planks + 1 Dark Iron Ingot
Birch Coffin: 8 Birch Planks + 1 Dark Iron Ingot
Cherry Coffin: 8 Cherry Planks + 1 Dark Iron Ingot
Crimson Coffin: 8 Crimson Planks + 1 Dark Iron Ingot
Dark Oak Coffin: 8 Dark Oak Planks + 1 Dark Iron Ingot
The mod includes recipes for other wood types as well, all using the same structural layout. These coffins are purely for decoration and atmosphere.
Gravestones and Urns
Beyond coffins, you can craft memorial blocks from common building materials.
Blackstone Gravestone: 7
Blackstone blocks. Arrange them in a pattern leaving the top center square empty.
Bricks Gravestone: 7
Bricks blocks, same pattern as above.
Cobblestone Gravestone: 7
Cobblestone blocks, same pattern.
Cracked Polished Blackstone Gravestone: 7
Cracked Polished Blackstone Bricks, same pattern.
Deepslate Gravestone: 7

Urns are crafted from glazed terracotta. Each urn uses 8 blocks of a single color arranged in a full ring around the crafting grid, leaving the center empty.
Black Glazed Urn: 8 Black Glazed Terracotta
Blue Glazed Urn: 8 Blue Glazed Terracotta
Brown Glazed Urn: 8 Brown Glazed Terracotta
Cyan Glazed Urn: 8 Cyan Glazed Terracotta
Other Core Items
Two other important recipes round out the essentials.
Bone Dagger: Craft with 3
Bone items in a vertical column, similar to a standard sword recipe but using bones instead of sticks and blades.
Fire Brazier: Craft with 5
Dark Iron Ingots and 1
Dark Oak Log. The exact arrangement places the log in the center, with the ingots surrounding it in a plus shape.
Candle Holder: Craft with 2
Dark Iron Ingots, placed one above the other in a single column.
These recipes give you the foundational blocks for building a graveyard, crypt, or spooky area. Focus on producing a steady supply of
Dark Iron Ingots first, as they are required for coffins, doors, bars, trapdoors, braziers, and candle holders. The gravestones and urns use only standard vanilla materials, making them easy to craft in bulk for large cemeteries.
