Minecraft plugin GravesX

🔌 About GravesX

GravesX is a Minecraft plugin (a fork/continuation of the original Graves project) that creates configurable graves or death-chests when players die. It preserves player items and offers a range of optional visual and functional features so servers can control how and where player inventories are recovered after death.

🎯 Purpose

The plugin's core purpose is to provide a flexible death-handling system for server administrators: keep player items safe after death, present a visible grave or corpse, and integrate with other server systems (economy, region protections, graveyards) through optional modules and addons.

⚙️ Features

• Configurable grave/death-chest creation and placement logic.
• Grave previews and visual indicators (holograms, particles, corpse models).
• Optional integrations / addon support (schematics, graveyards, region protection integrations).
• Economy-related module support (economy module required for economy features).
• Integration points for region plugins and protection systems.
• Holograms, obituary/head drops, compass tracking for graves.
• Options for grave abandonment, automatic cleanup, and teleport delay.
• Support for placeholders and configurable messages.

🧩 Who It Is For

• Survival and SMP servers that want persistent death-chests or graves.
• Servers that need configurable visual graves (holograms, corpse models).
• Servers that use region/land plugins and want grave behavior to respect protections.

🏗️ Example Use Cases

• Preserve a player's inventory at their death location while showing a hologram and an obituary entry.
• Use a graveyards addon to collect abandoned graves in a central area.
• Restrict grave creation in protected land via region integration add-ons.

⚙️ Installation

📥 Setup

• Download the official GravesX jar and place it into your server's plugins/ directory for a Spigot/Paper-compatible server.
• Restart the server and check console logs to confirm the plugin loaded.

📦 Dependencies

The plugin provides optional addon/module integrations. Confirmed named integrations or addons include:

• Schematics Module (optional)
• Economy-Vault Module (optional economy module)
• LandProtection Addon (for region/plugin protection integrations)
• Graveyards Addon (optional graveyard collection)
• Integrations are available for WorldGuard, Towny, GriefPrevention, GriefDefender, and Lands (integration typically requires the LandProtection addon)

🧠 Technical Notes
