Andy's Soulbound Graves Wiki

Official player guide for Andy's Soulbound Graves, a Minecraft Bedrock add-on that binds a protected player's inventory to buried skeleton remains and creates a complete physical gravesite at death.

Current release: 0.1.36
Minecraft: Bedrock 26.30 or newer
Graphics: Standard and Vibrant Visuals/PBR
Requirements: Both linked packs; no cheats, commands, experiments, or dependencies

A complete Overworld gravesite marks the burial plot and records the owner and Minecraft death day.

What the add-on does

• Adds four craftable Soulbound Rune tiers with limited or unlimited successful grave uses
• Requires the rune in the off-hand before death
• Secures the complete dropped inventory inside a prone skeleton beneath a physical grave
• Stores the updated rune with the possessions instead of destroying it
• Returns a native Recovery Compass bound to the specific grave
• Restores the inventory only after owner, compass, grave, and storage checks pass
• Supports multiple unrecovered graves per player
• Builds environment-aware markers on land, underwater, and—at Tier IV—in lava
• Forms graves on soul sand, soul soil, and other solid ground
• Uses the rune's inventory icon as the held model
• Offers optional timers, expired-grave revival, memorial choices, recharge, gear-menu settings, and grave management
• Provides 24 tombstone styles with Standard and Vibrant Visuals support

Quick start

1. Install and activate both included packs.
2. Obtain an Amethyst Shard to unlock Soulbound Rune I.
3. Craft a rune and place it in the off-hand/shield slot.
4. After a supported death, respawn and hold the issued Soulbound Recovery Compass.
5. Follow its action-bar guidance to the gravesite.
6. Dig through the coarse dirt to expose the skeleton.
7. Hold the matching compass and interact with the remains.

• Experience follows vanilla death behavior.
• Void deaths are not protected.
• Lava deaths require Soulbound Rune IV.
• Timed Soulbinding is off by default.
