About this Mod
Working Graves
Yet another graves mod, I know. Working graves is a fabric mod that allows for the construction of graves that will be populated on player death. That means you can build a graveyard that will fill up as time goes on. Pretty cool huh?
Working graves is a server side mod. There is no need to install it on clients if you install it on your dedicated server. This means that, if installed on the server, it is completely vanilla compatible. Alternatively you can install in on the client for single player support.
How to use
Follow these steps for success.
- Place a sign with the text
hic portus animae. - Right click the sign with a soul torch to underline it.
- Place a barrel/chest under the sign (a 3x3x3 cube under the sign is checked) [optional]
- ???
- Die.
You can now go to the grave to collect your items.
Graves initially attempt to be used in the dimension where the death occurred. If no available grave is found in the current dimension, the system will iteratively search through other server dimensions in a random manner until an available grave is located. This behaviour can be toggled using gamerules.
Server operators
You can see various debug information using the /graves command.
You can also use the gravesRequireSoulTorch gamerule to specify whether the soul torch is required for create a grave. The gravesDoLightningFire gamerule can be used to toggle whether the lightning can spawn fire and graveInAllDimensions toggles wether players can be graved in other dimensions. Additionally, a permission level at least equal to gravesRequiredPermissionLevel is required to create graves (defaults to 0).
