⚰️ Graves
A lightweight, feature-rich grave plugin for Minecraft SMP servers. When you die, your items are stored in a grave — retrieve them by right-clicking it.
✨ Features
⚰️ Grave System
On death, all your items are automatically stored in a Soul Sand grave at your death location. Right-click it to retrieve everything instantly. Items that don't fit in your inventory are dropped on the ground.
✨ Particles & Nametag
Each grave displays a custom nametag showing the owner's name and the time remaining before expiry. Soul particles orbit the grave continuously, making it easy to spot.
⏳ Expiry System
Graves expire after a configurable delay. When a grave expires, items either drop on the ground or are deleted — your choice. Set the delay to 0 to disable expiry entirely.
🛡️ Admin Commands
Operators and players with the graves.admin permission can list and delete any player's graves. Reload the config live with /graveadmin reload.
⚙️ Full Config Support
Customize expiry time, owner-only looting, nametag format, world blacklist, expiry behavior, and death coordinates message — all from config.yml.
