Decorative graves

When you die, a decorative grave appears: a special block giving off a faint fog at night, harvestable with a pickaxe or shovel, and customizable through the anvil (see below). It comes in several models and colors, with no gameplay difference between them — purely a matter of taste. After a while, a soul will often come to haunt the grave (the config lets you adjust how often this happens) and stays until it's freed — it then enables certain enchantments (magic scroll/tablet) or an upgrade to the grave's key.

To build your own decorative grave, you'll need Grave's Dust (obtained by killing undeads or through the Cat Morning Gift) and an Essence of Undeath, an ingredient unlocked through the advancements (the first one is obtained by picking your favorite grave in the in-game config) and rarely found on undeads, through the Cat Morning Gift, or by fishing in deep water — though don't count on it without a bit of luck.

Engraving a grave

At the anvil, combine a grave plate with an iron ingot to engrave a name onto it, which you can then apply or change on your decorative graves (a config option allows disabling name changes). In older versions, grave plates didn't exist and graves had to be combined directly at the anvil.

Grave Guardian

Rarely, a Grave Guardian may appear near a grave. It protects the surrounding area from hostile creatures and offers trades to players — one of the ways to obtain Essence of Undeath. Its trades may differ during special events.

Abandoned Graves

Lootable abandoned graves can be found on the Overworld surface or in the ocean (only in Minecraft 1.20.1+). They exist in 5 different colors, and their loot is configurable in _config/tombstone/loottables_.

• Locate them using the structure tag _#tombstone:abandoned_grave_
• Adjust available biomes with the tags _#tombstone:has_structure/abandoned_grave_land_ and _#tombstone:has_structure/abandoned_grave_ocean_ (via datapack or a tweak mod)
• Configure equipment loot through the item tags _#tombstone:lootable/armor_, _#tombstone:lootable/weapon_ and _#tombstone:lootable/tool_

Forgotten Knowledge

Recent versions introduce mysterious readable and scrollable scrolls, revealing forgotten knowledge to those who solve the riddles hidden within (a ritual flute, found as loot, can be used to start some of them). Elyra's Diary, for example, lets you cast enhanced prayers on graves; the Rite of Silent Bound archives grant an affinity with undeads under certain conditions.
