TombStone is a mod originally created by Chessmaster42 for Minecraft (Forge Mod Loader) that I have updated for Minecraft 1.6.4. It is a "death chest" mod (i.e. it stores your inventory in a chest when you die so you can take your time getting back to it). What I like most about TombStone is that it doesn't require you to carry any special item for it to work and since it uses a custom block, you can't use repeated suicides to farm chests. Furthermore, you can craft decorative tombstones to give your Minecraft village a graveyard.
Features:
- Creates a tombstone when you die that shows your username, cause of death, and date of death
- Stores your inventory on death in the tombstone, which can be accessed like a chest (it does not take items from hoppers)
- Option to change security level on the tombstones (anyone can loot, team only looting, or owner-only looting)
- Tombstones have 16 orientations, like a sign post)
- Customizable date formatting

I'm glad you like it. I tried it after watching the Hat Films Feed The Beast series on youtube and got addicted to the TombStone mod. When newer versions of Minecraft came out, I felt so vulnerable without my precious TombStone (especially in the Nether) and decided to update the mod so I could keep using it.
In a few weeks, I'll update it to 1.7 (I need to wait for the Forge API to stabilize).

I think the default setting is to have the TombStones be lootable by anyone. There's a security option in the config file. If it is level 1, then only people on the same team as you can loot your TombStone (and people not on a team can be looted by anyone). On level 2, only the owner of a TombStone can loot it. However, anyone can break a TombStone with a stone pickax, so it isn't perfect protection.
Should I add an option to make TombStones require a diamond pick-ax to break?

a hypothetical question......if i die.....by a skeleton......and then i go back to get my stuff.....and it KILLS ME A-FREAKING-GAIN.....do i lose the bow i brought back with me from base that i failed at using beacuse i suck with bows....and all the redstone, gold, and iron i mined?

Every time you die, it makes a additional tombstone to hold whatever items you were carrying at time of death. I've piled up a pyramid of them in the Nether trying to get my enchanted armor back after being attacked by zombie pigmen. There's no risk of losing items (even if you die in lava).
You can use the /tombstone (or /tombs) command to see the coordinates of all of your tombstones in case you were far from home base. This command has saved me from rage-quitting a few times.

okei, thank you ^.^ i willl be installing and possibly making a texture patch to go with sphax.
If you can put it in a chest, it will be safe and sound in a Tombstone. I've tested it with Forestry backpacks.
I've never used mods that change your default inventory size before and I don't know how the mods you mentioned work under the hood. However, I would expect the items to go into the Tombstone unless those mods block vanilla Minecraft from accessing those inventory slots for some reason. I'd love it if you could test that for me and report what happens.

I'd be glad to help test it.
The mods I mentioned dont change the vanilla inventory.
Just add another
Battlegear 2 (This mod adds 6 extra slots for you to Dual Wield)
It works! Pass
Galacticraft 2 (This mod adds 9 extra slots for Space Gear [Equipped like Armor]
Did not work! Fail
RPGInventory (This mod adds 7 extra slots for Rings, Necklaces, Shield. Each item has its own unique Buff [Equipped Like Armor]
Did not work! Fail
I have not yet tried Tinkers Construct
This mod adds a I believe a few slots. (Didn't download yet)
One of them is a bag which you can put on in one of those slot [Equipped like armor]
When this bag is equipped. There will be an extra tab (Like in Creative)
That can hold a whole inventory full of stuff. 3 x 9 slots.
Adding up to 6x9 inventory space + Vanilla armor slots + Hotbar Slots + Tinkers Construct extra slots.
Since your Tombstone can only hold 6 x 9 slots I wonder what will happen.
(Suggestion: Maybe a next page arrow, so your Tombstone can hold and infinite amount of stuff? But when broken just gives you a doublechest inventory space)
Oh, there is also a mod called Larger Inventory and Hotbar that gives you 3 extra hotbar spaces = 12 Hotbar Slots, and a 3 x 12 inventory space.
(This mod changes the Vanilla minecraft Inventory, instead of adding its own Tab)
I will try Tinkers Construct, and Larger Inventory and Hotbar later.
Good job on the research, Fixided! You've got the mind of a scientist .
I'm noticing a trend. It seems extra armor slots aren't working but extra inventory bars are. I'll have to do some digging around to see if there's a way I can update this mod to automatically find those extra slots. If not, I'll just have to pick the top 3 most popular mods and support those individually.

I don't want to be selfish, but it's possible to make the gravestone traversable? You know, i have this server where the players need to do an parkour to get out of hell, but they are jumping on the gravestone to make it easier. And can you make the gravestone breakable? If it's possible, it would be nice to make a 1.6.4 version with it.
Another thing that would be nice, is to make an option at config for the user to choose if the gravestone will vanish after it have been looted.
Thank you for your efforts on this mod! well done.
