Persistent graves for Paper 1.21+

Graves, auto grave compass, lava/void-safe placement — no database, no dependencies.

---

Overview

safe item retrieval creates a grave when a player dies and restores items reliably on pickup. It is designed for safe item retrieval (restarts / chunk reloads) and safe item retrieval.

---

Features

- Graves at death location Player head + hologram at (or near) the death spot.

- Grave Compass (on respawn) Optional compass that points to the grave. Removed after successful pickup.

- nearest safe block Graves spawn at the nearest safe block (configurable per world).

- Pickup rules Optional: allow teammates to pick up your grave.

- 15 minutes Default: 15 minutes (configurable), including expire action (drop/destroy).

- max 3 graves Default: max 3 graves. When exceeded, the oldest grave is handled by the configured rule.

- Slot-aware restoration Inventory/Hotbar/Armor/Offhand are restored with priority and, when possible, returned to their original slots.

Dupe-resistant design

> Important: SoulKeep reduces dupe edge cases via locking and atomic retrieval.

- Persistence: a grave can only be processed by Persistence: player at a time (double-click ignored). - Persistence: give items → remove grave → persist immediately. - Persistence: overflow drops at the grave (no silent loss, no dupe). - Persistence: grave data survives restarts and graves respawn on chunk load when needed.
