Graves

How death chests / graves work on StoneHavenSMP and how to recover your items safely.

When you die on StoneHavenSMP, your items and/or XP can be stored in a grave instead of scattering across the landscape. That makes recovery more reliable — especially far from home.

Collecting your grave

Retrieve your items and/or XP dropped on death from your grave by right-clicking or left-clicking it.

List your grave locations with:

/trigger graves

List your grave locations.

What to do after a death

  1. Note your death location on the map, or run /trigger graves if you need coordinates.
  2. Return carefully — the hazard that killed you may still be there.
  3. Right-click or left-click your grave to retrieve items and XP.
  4. Re-equip and secure valuables before re-engaging the same fight.

Who can collect a grave

Players are restricted from looting other players’ graves. You can recover your own items; you cannot take items from someone else’s grave.

Staff can retrieve a grave as long as that grave still exists. If you cannot reach it yourself, Submit a Ticket(opens in a new tab) in Discord with coordinates, the approximate time of death, and screenshots when you have them.

If you find another player’s grave in a dangerous area and know the owner, consider letting them know in Discord rather than interacting with it.

If your grave is missing

  • Run /trigger graves to list remaining grave locations.
  • Check whether you already collected it on a second life.
  • Search the immediate death area and any cave shafts below.
  • Deaths in lava or the void may destroy a grave before anyone can recover it.
  • If the grave still exists but you cannot recover it, staff can retrieve it. Submit a Ticket(opens in a new tab) in Discord with your logs and screenshots, plus approximate time and coordinates.
