AquaGraves

When a player dies their items and experience go into a grave instead of the ground. The grave is a floating head with a hologram, locked to its owner for a while, and it despawns on its own after a set time.

A grave

  1. A player dies. Their drops and experience are stored in a grave where they fell.
  2. The hologram shows the owner, the items, the experience and both countdowns.
  3. Right click opens it like a chest. Shift + right click takes everything at once.
  4. When the protection ends the grave unlocks for everyone, or despawns, depending on the config.
  5. When the despawn timer ends, whatever is left drops on the ground.

Protection

StateWho can open it
LockedOnly the owner, for protection.duration-seconds
UnlockedAnyone, unless always-owner-only is on

aquagraves.bypass.protection opens any grave at any time.

Files

FileHolds
config.ymlGraves, protection, death rules, pickup, appearance, teleport, storage
messages.ymlEvery string, the hologram lines and the GUI title
graves.datEvery grave in the world
backups.datContents of removed graves, for /aquagraves restore

There is no database to set up. Graves are saved to graves.dat a few seconds after any change, so a crash never duplicates items.
