Simple Graves
Simple Graves is a vanilla Java datapack that protects dropped items after death and guides players back to an owner-locked grave.
About this Mod
Simple Graves
When a player dies, nearby fresh item drops are captured, frozen above a grave marker, protected from pickup/despawn, and linked to that player. The owner reclaims items by breaking the grave block. If another player breaks it, the block restores and they get an ownership message.

Notes
This datapack protects real dropped item entities after death. Common deaths such as fall, mobs, drowning, and normal combat are reliable when drops survive long enough to be captured.
Lava, explosions, and void deaths are best-effort because Minecraft can destroy item entities before a datapack can protect them.
XP cannot be protected
