AtlasGraves
AtlasGraves provides a balanced alternative to keep inventory.
When a player dies, their items and experience are stored in a grave at the death location. Players must return to recover their loot, and only the player who died can access their grave.
Features
- Grave system on player death
- Stores items and experience at death location
- Only the owner can access their grave
- Exact death coordinates sent in chat
- Optional experience bottle system
- Automatic chest cleanup after looting
- Item reminder system if loot is left behind
- Fully configurable messages and settings

How It Works
- When a player dies, a grave chest spawns at their death location
- All items are stored inside the grave
- The player receives exact coordinates in chat
- Only the original player can open the grave
- After looting, the grave can automatically delete
This creates a risk based system where players must return to recover their items.
Experience System
AtlasGraves can store player experience as a custom item:
- XP is saved as a bottle inside the grave
- Displays level and total experience
- Players can reclaim it by using the item
This prevents experience loss while keeping gameplay balanced.
Configuration
Everything is configurable through YAML files:
- Grave name and formatting
- Death messages and coordinates
- Item reminder system
- Chest deletion timing
- Experience bottle behavior
- Permissions and command messages
You can fully customize how the system behaves.
Additional Features
- Prevents grave spawning if player has no items
- Optional item check reminders
- Automatic cleanup system
- Custom formatted messages
Dependencies
- PlaceholderAPI
- bStats
Notes
- Designed for SMP servers but works on any server type
- Encourages players to return to death locations
- Keeps survival gameplay balanced without full keep inventory
