Player Bones
Lightweight mod which adds bone piling mechanics as a result of player deaths.
About this Mod
Ever wanted to see the aftermath of a great battle, build a throne out of your enemies (in Minecraft), or have a visible, constant reminder of your inability to play the game?
Player Bones adds bone piles after every player's death, while also allowing them to stack higher if a player happens to die multiple times in the same place.
Better get your shovels ready, or else face the risk of a skeleton wandering into the site, and with a bit of help from a lightning strike, raise up your enemies to fight once again.
The mod also features the most crisp audio design, allowing you to really immerse yourself in the bone experience.
I hope you enjoy!
