✦ RvGraves ✦
Reimagining Player Death with Immersive 3D Display Monuments
Elevate your server's survival experience with RvGraves, an enterprise-grade, premium death-management utility built natively for modern high-performance Minecraft networks.
Say goodbye to archaic, lag-inducing floor item drops or flat, uninspired floating chest containers. RvGraves utilizes cutting-edge Vanilla Display Entities and complex JOML transformation matrices to construct incredibly detailed, multi-layered 3D memorial structures at the exact site of a player's demise. No client-side resource packs, mods, or configurations are required—everything renders beautifully in vanilla Minecraft.
🚀 Key Premium Features
🏛️ The "Fallen Warrior" 3D Monument Architecture
When a player falls in battle, the plugin instantly suppresses vanilla item drops and calculates a mathematically precise, multi-layered structural monument:
- The Foundation: A perfectly centered, low-profile framing border crafted from solid Polished Deepslate, enclosing a mound of rich Podzol earth.
- The Obelisk: An erect, two-tier gothic headstone utilizing weathered Cracked Deepslate Bricks.
- The Relics: The deceased player’s skull rests solemnly against the base of the monument, while their trusty Iron Sword remains thrust dramatically into the soil out front.
- The Beacon: An integrated, glowing Soul Lantern provides structural lighting, ensuring the grave stands out vividly even in the darkest caves or night cycles.
- Smart Orientation: The entire 3D structure dynamically captures the player's precise yaw direction at the exact millisecond of death, ensuring the monument faces perfectly forward in relation to their final moment.
🌀 Mystical Visual FX & Sound Design
- Dynamic Spawn Sequence: The creation of a grave triggers a deep, echoing Wither roar variant coupled with heavy deepslate shattering sound effects. Simultaneously, a dense burst of physical block particles erupts around the plot.
- Orbital Soul Fire Spiral: Active graves generate an advanced, continuous trigonometric particle ring. Shimmering Soul Fire Flame particles orbit the monument in a fluctuating vertical wave, acting as a beacon for searching players.
- Imminent Decay Wobble: When the internal protection timer drops below 10%, the structure enters an imminent decay sequence, utilizing rapid interpolation states to make the central tombstone physically rock and shake back and forth.
🔒 Dual-Phase Protection & Secure Inventories
- Owner Locking: Graves are automatically protected upon creation. Unauthorized players attempting to rob the inventory will be met with a traditional locked chest audio cue and a clean, custom action-bar warning.
- Global Looting Phase: Once the customizable stasis countdown finishes, the protection field shatters with a loud iron chain breaking sound, and a global server-wide broadcast highlights the exact coordinates for scavenging parties.
- Robust Double-Chest GUI: Interacting with an open or bypassed grave opens a secure 54-slot virtual container. If a player empties the inventory completely, the 3D monument shatters instantly into dust, cleaning up the world dynamically.
⏱️ Advanced Mechanics & Moderation
- Stasis Token Integration: Players holding a dedicated Stasis Token (Nether Star tagged with custom Persistent Data Containers) can right-click their grave to extend the protection countdown by 5 minutes per token, complete with an enchantment glint particle burst.
- Smart Emergency Recovery (
/gravetp): Lost your items deep in the Nether or the End? Players can issue a straightforward/gravetpcommand to safely teleport directly to the base of their most recent active grave plot. - Administrative Operations Menu (
/graves): Staff members gain access to a sweeping cross-server tracking menu. The custom 54-slot UI dynamically populates with the head profiles of all current dead players, displaying exact coordinate maps, lock status, and real-time timers. Admins can click any profile to instantly teleport to the scene.
