AxGraves | Lootable Death Chests -----

A lightweight grave (death chest) plugin focused on performance & compatbility




- Added a "shadow" section to the hologram, enabled by default, which can be used to add an outline to the hologram lines.
----------, Mar 20, 2026

- Fixed the armor auto equip which was broken on newer 1.21 versions.
----------, Feb 19, 2026

- Added a "death-listener-priority" setting to the config, which can be used to make the plugin run its actions earlier. Most people shouldn't touch this.
- Added a "debug" setting to the config, which can be enabled to print out information into the console about grave spawning logic. If you have issues with graves not spawning or it having no items, please enable it, reload the plugin and die with items and send everything that has been printed into the console.
----------, Feb 5, 2026

- Important: There are some major internal changes, if you notice that anything is not working, please report it here: https://github.com/Artillex-Studios/Issues/issues
- Improved keep-inventory and keep-xp support, now basically all plugins should be compatible, except the ones which aren't using the bukkit api correctly.
- Added 2 placeholderapi placeholders: %axgraves_grave_count% and %axgraves_grave_limit%

- Added 1.21.9 and (most likely also) 1.21.10 support. (if you are using paper 1.21.9, you must update it to the latest build for the plugin to work)

- If you have 1.19.3 or older cliens allowed on your server, they won't be able to see the holograms properly. If you need a solution contact us and we can provide a packet converter plugin.
