Graves

Die and a grave marks the spot, holding your inventory and XP so you can come back and recover everything instead of losing it to a five-minute timer.

Features

A grave spawns where you die (with keepInventory off), holding your items and XP.
Four grave looks: a deepslate headstone, a wooden cross, a tombstone, or a mossy soulgrave. One is picked at random, each can be turned off.
Recover everything at once: items return to their original slots, XP is paid back, anything that does not fit drops on the ground.
Graves are owner-only by default; robbing can be turned on to let anyone take the loot.
Grave Keys let admins open any grave.
Graves persist across restarts, and ones that fall into the void get a cobblestone platform to rest on.

Commands

/graves list lists your active graves.
/graves locate points you to your nearest grave.
/graves key hands you a Grave Key (operator level 2).
/graves config shows or changes the config (operator level 2).

Notes

The config lives in config/graves.json, changed with /graves config or from the Mods screen in singleplayer. That GUI needs Mod Menu and Cloth Config, but they are optional and only needed for the GUI.
Server-side. Clients do not need the mod installed.

Inspired by the classic Vanilla Tweaks Graves datapack.
