Gravestone
Constructs an inscribed gravestone, with a buried inventory chest, wherever a player dies.
Features
- Generates a gravestone at the location of a player's death.
- The gravestone will generate an inscription displaying the player's name, date of death and game session time.
- A "Treasure Chest" will generate beneath the grave containing the deceased player's inventory and armor items.
- Gravestone elements will only replace "natural" blocks such as dirt, sand, grass, gravel, netherrack, etc. This may be turned off in config.yml.
- Acts as a useful indicator, especially in SMP games, where players may gain better knowledge of exploration attempts and history within the game.
- Configurable options, Permissions and WorldGuard support.

Configs
Use config.yml to apply custom settings to available Gravestone options.
Option | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
enable-white-list | false | Use this to activate the white-list.txt. Once active, only usernames listed here will be granted gravestones upon death. |
only-build-grave-on-natural-material | true | Grave sections will only render-replace "natural" materials such as dirt, sand, grass, gravel, netherrack, etc. Set to false to allow grave blocks to replace any material. |

When are you going to update to 1.5.1? This is a great plugin and I was looking forward to using it, but it's not updated yet...
NICE PLUGIN!
Could you add an option player will lose some percent of money or a fixed value when they die? Btw, does it support multi-world?
I think that this is a amazing plugin, but is it possible for you to add permissions, so a normal player would get a basic grave and a donator would get a fancy grave?
@droosk
Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't able to reproduce this. "string length longer than max..." sounds like it could be an issue with your config.yml. Let me know more details, or open up a ticket, so I can help you.
@elyssah
Thanks. WorldGuard compatibility is a "planned" item.

I think you have a fantastic plugin idea here. But before I download it, I want to know how it interacts with Worldguard or other territory-permissions plugins. Will a player be able to access their chest if they die on someone else's lawn? Will it build a grave if the player that dies doesn't have permissions to alter in that area?
We are trying to use this plugin, but when we kill the player to test it, we get punted from the game with a client error of: Internal exception: java.io.IOException: Received string length longer than maximum allowed (16 > 15).
We have to remove the plugin and reload before we're able to get back in.
No Github :(
Are you updating this to 1.5 yet?
@anotherfahlman
Double.
This a cool concept on the "death chest-type" plugins. Is the treasure chest a single or double chest?
Kewl Plugin :D
Permissions, MultiWorld, disable for Worlds, if player is killed by other player to add the name of the killer ?
This is great good job.... We really need this to hook into Worldguard.. People wont be able to pick up their stuff in protected areas.
How can we prevent people from killing themselves intentionally to get unlimited roses, stonebrick stairs, signs, and chests?
Also, I agree with the comment below, it needs to respect protections so people don't kill themselves to grief spawn or others houses :/ Maybe if it had some kind of configuration to only make a grave if you died on top of grass / another natural block so that it doesn't create graves inside of peoples houses, and if you're not ontop of a natural block it'll just drop your stuff like usual.
However, great plugin!
Also, could you maybe hook into GriefPrevention and WorldGuard so they don't end up in people's homes? :D
ummmm, oh, different style graves for different death types?
How does this work with something like pvparena and MobArena ?
Another cool thing would be to make the chest disappear after a time, but keep the grave.
I havnt downloaded it yet, but i was wondering if on the next update you could have all their stuff they had in a chest beneath the ground! I want this because it would make it more interesting!
sounds awesome.
