Description from the author on SpigotMC

Description:

GraveStonesPlus enhances your server’s death system by safely storing a player’s items in a grave upon death, preventing item loss and world clutter. When a player dies, a grave is created at their death location (with an optional chat notification). Graves show basic death information such as the player’s name and cause of death, so it’s clear whose grave is whose.

Breaking or claiming the grave restores items back to their original inventory slots when possible, keeping everything organized and intuitive. A compass can guide players back to their grave, and there are options to retain all EXP, adjust drop percentages, and only create graves when the player had items in inventory.

Highly configurable and designed for performance, GraveStonesPlus gives server owners full control over how deaths, graves, and item recovery work — whether you want a simple recovery system or a more advanced, immersive mechanic. Additional features, effects, and improvements are continuously being added, and feedback is always welcome!
