The Minecraft Gravestone mod can be installed using any mod loader that has Forge, Rift, or Neoforge. For this guide, we have used Curseforge and its popular mod loader to make the installation process seamless.

Here's how you can download and install the Minecraft Gravestone mod:

1. Head to the Curseforge website and download the official launcher if you do not have it installed already.
2. Once downloaded, log in with your linked Microsoft account. Now, go to the top bar and search for the Minecraft Gravestone mod by henkelmax. Alternatively, you can click on this link to go to the mod page directly.
3. If you wish to install the Gravestone mod manually, click on the black Download button on the right side of the screen. Once the ZIP file has been downloaded, place it in the mods folder of your instance's mod directory. If you do not have Minecraft with Rift/Forge/Neoforge installed or are new to installing mods and add-ons, it is recommended to use the official Curseforge mod loader for a hassle-free experience.
4. For installation using the mod loader, click on the orange Install button with the anvil logo on the right. Wait for the deep link to open on the Curseforge app.
5. Once the Curseforge app is loaded, you will get the prompt to create a new instance (installation) or choose an existing instance of Minecraft to install the Gravestone mod. While you can choose an existing instance of the game, it is recommended that you deploy the Gravestone mod on a fresh instance. This is to avoid any conflicts with existing mods, shaders, or data packs and prevent unwanted world corruption.
6. Next, name your instance and click the Create button to proceed.
7. After naming the instance and creating it, you will be redirected to the created modpack's page. Wait for the assets to get installed.
8. Once done, hit the orange Play button on the right side to launch Minecraft with the Gravestone mod successfully installed.

Features of the Minecraft Gravestone mod

The Minecraft Gravestone mod adds a unique mechanic to your world where a gravestone is placed every time you die in the game. Once you are eliminated, a headstone will pop up at that exact location and you will respawn at your last respawn point.

Once respawned, you will find an obituary in your inventory which will list your name, time and date of your death as well as the dimension in which you passed away. However, the most interesting aspect is that the obituary will also give you the exact coordinates of your grave, allowing you to reach there easily and interact with it.

After you reach the coordinates, you will find a gravestone with your head on it. Interacting with it will display the date and time of your death, similar to a real-life grave. You can break the gravestone to obtain all of your lost loot and items. Additionally, breaking it with a tool that has a silk touch will add the stone to your inventory. You can place it as a decorative item if you wish to.
