Appearance

A grave is a floating player head with a hologram above it. Both are set under appearance in config.yml, and the text is in messages.yml.

Head

config.yml


appearance:
  head-height: -1.2
  rotate-head-360: true
  auto-rotation:
    enabled: false
    speed: 10.0
  custom-skull:
    enabled: false
    base64: ""

Key	Default	What it does
`head-height`	`-1.2`	Height of the head relative to the grave. Lower it if it clips into the ground
`rotate-head-360`	`true`	Faces the exact direction the player died looking at. Off snaps to north, east, south or west
`auto-rotation`	off	Spins the head slowly. Costs a packet per second per grave
`custom-skull`	off	One skull for every grave instead of each player’s own head, from a base64 texture

Hologram

Text display only:

Key	Default	What it does

`billboard`	`VERTICAL`	`FIXED`, `VERTICAL`, `HORIZONTAL` or `CENTER`
`see-through`	`false`	Draws the text through blocks

Lines

messages.yml


hologram:
  - "&#33CCFF&l%player%"
  - "&#8BD5FF%items% &fitems &7| &#8BD5FF%xp% &fxp"
  - "%lock-status% &7| &#8BD5FF%despawn-time%"
 
hologram-locked: "&#FFA42D&lLOCKED &f%protection-time%"
hologram-unlocked: "&#56FF00&lUNLOCKED"
hologram-forever: "&#8BD5FF∞"

Key	Is
`hologram`	The lines, top to bottom. Add or remove freely
`hologram-locked`	What `%lock-status%` prints while the grave is protected
`hologram-unlocked`	What it prints once it is open to everyone
`hologram-forever`	Printed instead of a countdown when a timer never ends

Every grave placeholder works in the lines.

GUI

messages.yml


gui-title: "&0%player%&0's Grave"

The grave opens as a chest with this title. Items keep the order set in death.item-order.

Time units in every countdown come from the time section of messages.yml, so 4m 30s can be translated to any language.
