🪦GraveDiggerX
GraveDiggerX is an advanced plugin for Paper servers that automatically creates graves upon a player's death. The plugin secures the player's inventory, experience, and death location, providing clear visual information and easy recovery of lost items.
✅Key Features
- Auto Graves – After the player’s death, their inventory and experience are transferred to a gravestone in the form of the player’s head, accompanied by an informational hologram.
- Interactive inventory recovery – The owner can open the gravestone’s GUI or quickly collect its contents by holding the sneak key and clicking on the gravestone.
- Death site protection – Gravestones are immune to destruction by explosions, fluids, pistons, hoppers, or mobs, and thieves are repelled by a special effect until the gravestone expires.
- Guardian spirit – A glowing Allay appears above the gravestone and remains until the loot is collected or the gravestone expires (can be disabled in the configuration).
- Automatic cleanup – Gravestones are removed after a defined period, and the owner receives a countdown in the action bar.
- Persistent storage – Gravestone data is saved in
data.json, ensuring it is not lost after a server restart.
📦Requirements and Installation

- Download the latest version of GraveDiggerX and place the JAR file in the
