Player Graves

Disclaimer: Requires the game rule keepInventory to be true and doImmediateRespawn to be false

This multiplayer-friendly data pack causes players to leave a grave at the site of their death and is marked with the name of the player who died. This data pack alleviates the frustration of dying and helps keep your dropped items tidy.

Graves contain the items and experience of the deceased player and drops its contents when clicked. The amount of experience dropped will no longer has a cap. For reference, players dying at level 30 will now drop 13 levels of experience rather than 7.
