Grave
A Grave is a block that stores items and experience dropped on death. Graves are only dropped if they are enabled in the Journey settings; otherwise, items are dropped on the ground on death like in vanilla Minecraft.
Enabling
Graves are disabled by default on new Journeys. To opt in to dropping graves on death, the owner
of the Journey can type /journey settings and check the box next to “Graves”. This enables graves for all members
of that Journey.
Usage
When a player dies while graves are enabled, a skull with a nametag is dropped in place of items and experience. This skull has a timer of 1 hour, which counts down regardless of whether the chunk it is in is loaded.
Anyone may access the grave in one of the following ways:
- Sneak and right-click the grave to retrieve all items in the grave.
- Right-click without sneaking to open the grave like a chest.
- Break the grave to drop all items on the ground.
After the 1-hour time limit expires, all items in the grave are dropped on the ground. After they are dropped on the ground, items follow standard despawning rules: They will disappear after 5 minutes, but this timer only ticks down while the chunk the items are in is loaded.
