Death Keeper

Death Keeper is a lightweight, configurable mod that intends keeps your items safe when you die.

This mod doesnt really need special compatibility with inventory mods (like Curios), since it works by intercepting drops directly rather than accessing player inventories.

Instead of dropping everything on the ground, your items are stored in a Gravestone at your death location, giving you a chance to recover them later.

One issue I noticed with a lot of gravestone mods is how they tend to clutter areas with multiple graves if you die repeatedly in the same spot. To fix that, this mod merges nearby graves together, gravesites galore smh.

Another thing that I thought about is having mob graves, especilly for boss mob, which hence why I added it :3

Notes

• Gravestones will not generate for entities outside the whitelist
• Items/Snapshots are safely stored and merged in its own data file so there is no block entities whatsoever, which allows multiple chunks full of gravestones with barely any hits on server performance for example :3
