🪦 StoneTombs V2.0 – Minecraft Bedrock
Never lose your items again. Find, track, recover and manage your graves.
Dying far from home should not mean losing hours of progress. StoneTombs protects your inventory inside a personal grave when you die and gives you tools to find it, track it, teleport back, intelligently recover your equipment and manage every active grave.
V2.0 is a major rework focused on safer death recovery for survival worlds, multiplayer servers and Realms.
🔥 What's New in V2.0?

☠️ How StoneTombs Works
When you die, StoneTombs creates a grave containing your stored inventory and gives you a Grave Key connected to that exact grave.
Your grave stores information such as:
- Grave number
- Owner
- Dimension
- Coordinates
- Death time
- Death cause
- Stored XP
- Stored items
By default, only the owner can recover their grave.
Coordinates can also be shown in chat when the grave is created. Both coordinate displays can be enabled or disabled by the server administrator.
🧱 Smart Safe Grave Placement
One of the most important V2.0 improvements is Smart Safe Grave Placement. This safety system is always enabled.
- StoneTombs searches around the death location for safe natural ground.
- It checks nearby positions and different heights.
- It avoids unsafe empty space, lava and locations without a stable floor.
- If safe natural ground exists, the grave is placed there.
- If no safe location exists, a 4×4 emergency platform is created.
The emergency platform adapts to the dimension:
- 🪨 Cobblestone — Overworld
- ⬛ Blackstone — Nether
- 🟨 End Stone — The End
This replaces the old simple lava-protection behavior with a permanent, broader safety system for caves, lava areas, dangerous terrain and the End void.
🔑 Grave Keys
🔑 Unique Keys
Every grave receives its own unique Grave Key. A key only belongs to its matching grave, so unrelated Grave Keys cannot act as universal keys.
✨ Enchanted Grave Keys & Teleportation
Administrators can choose between:
- Always Enchanted Key
- Random Enchanted Key
An enchanted Grave Key can teleport you back to its grave when teleportation is enabled.
Teleportation can also have a configurable XP level cost:
- Free
- 1 Level
- 3 Levels
- 5 Levels
- 10 Levels
If Random Enchanted Key is enabled, normal Grave Keys cannot teleport.
🧭 Tracking With Any Grave Key
Even when a key cannot teleport, it can still help you find your grave. Sneak + Use a Grave Key to start or stop tracking.
In the same dimension, the action bar shows:
- Distance
- Direction arrow
If the grave is in another dimension, StoneTombs shows the required dimension and coordinates instead.
📋 Grave Manager
V2.0 adds a full Grave Manager inside Personal Config. It lets every player manage registered graves without searching through a pile of keys.
The manager lets you:
- 🧭 Track Grave
- ✨ Teleport to Grave when allowed
- ℹ️ View Grave Information
- 🗑️ Permanently delete a grave
ℹ️ Grave Information
The information screen can show:
- Grave number
- Dimension
- Coordinates
- Grave age
- Death cause
- Stored XP
- Number of stored item slots
🎒 Advanced Item Recovery
V2.0 adds three personal recovery modes. Every player can choose their preferred mode independently.
🎒 Original Slots + Auto Equip
Armor and offhand items are automatically restored to their equipment slots whenever possible. Inventory items then try to return to their original slots.
If an original slot is already occupied, StoneTombs safely uses another available inventory slot instead.
📦 Auto Equip + Fill Inventory
Equipment is restored first. Remaining recovered items are compacted into available inventory spaces without preserving their previous slot positions.
💨 Auto Equip + Drop Remaining Items
Equipment is restored automatically whenever possible, while everything else is dropped safely around the grave instead of being inserted into the inventory.
🛡️ Recover Equipment Only
Sneak + Hit your grave with the correct key to open the Recovery Menu.
You can choose:
- Restore Everything
- Restore Equipment Only
- View Grave Information
Armor, helmet, leggings, boots and offhand equipment have dedicated storage handling so they can be correctly re-equipped.
👁️ Nearby Grave Preview
When you are close to one of your own graves, StoneTombs can display a compact preview in the action bar.
The preview shows:
- Grave number
- Stored item slots
- Stored XP
Every player can personally enable or disable the preview, while administrators can choose whether it starts enabled by default.
⭐ XP Recovery
Administrators can choose how much XP is protected inside graves:
- 0%
- 25%
- 50%
- 75%
- 100%
The protected percentage is stored in the grave. XP that is not protected is dropped normally at the original death location as experience orbs. Recovering the grave returns its stored XP.
👥 Grave Access & Public Graves
🔒 Owner Only
Only the grave owner can recover it. This is the default mode.
⏱️ Owner Only, Then Public
The grave starts private and becomes public after a configurable delay.
Available timers:
- 30 Seconds
- 1 Minute
- 5 Minutes
- 15 Minutes
- 30 Minutes
- 60 Minutes
Once public, any player can recover it with an empty hand. The owner receives a notification with grave number, coordinates, dimension and a notification sound.
🌍 Everyone
The grave is public immediately and can be recovered with an empty hand. Public access does not turn unrelated Grave Keys into universal keys.
⏳ Grave Expiration & Cleanup
Available expiration times:
- Never
- 15 Minutes
- 30 Minutes
- 1 Hour
- 6 Hours
- 12 Hours
- 24 Hours
- 3 Days
- 7 Days
Expiration Actions
- 🪦 Keep Grave — the grave remains available.
- 📦 Remove Grave and Drop Items — remaining items are dropped at the grave.
- ❌ Remove Grave and Delete Items — the grave and remaining stored items are permanently removed.
Online players receive a warning approximately 5 minutes before a grave expires. When a loaded grave expires, the owner receives another identifying message plus a notification sound.
🔢 Maximum Active Graves
Server owners can choose:
- Unlimited
- 3
- 5
- 10
- 20
