Gravestone mod

This mod adds a gravestone to the game, which "spawns" at player/villager/dog/cat death.
Also this mod generates cemeteries in some villages, and the "Wither's catacombs". This is a new huge structure, like stronghold, where you can find a lot of loot, dangerous adventures and a "Wither Boss" at the end.

Description

Gravestone

This block "spawns" at player`s death.
You can break it with a pickaxe or by breaking ground under it and put it into another place but only on "diggable" blocks: dirt, grass, mycelium, gravel, sand, soul sand and snow. On another type of surface it can be put only when you die.

With a small chance, gravestone can spawn zombies and skeletons at night, and in some specific conditions can spawn pig zombies and wither skeletons.

It will be work only if there is any player in range less 35 blocks, and if there are less than 3 monsters within 1 block of it.

If you have "Mo'creatures" graves will be spawn "Silver skeletons", "Wraiths" and "Flame wraiths", and if you have "Twilight Forest" it will be spawn "Twilight Wraiths" too.

Also this block holds all your inventory and information about your death, which can be shown by right click on it.

Furthermore this block can contains some loot (but only in generated structures), which will drop when you destroy it.

As a default it's required silk touch pickaxe to harvest, but it can be changed in config file.

Sword Gravestone

If you have sword in your inventory there is 25% chance that it will be used as gravestone.

Dog gravestone

Like a gravestone its spawns at tamed dog death. At night it spawn zombie dogs and skeleton dogs.

Cat gravestone

Like a gravestone its spawns at tamed cat death. At night it spawn zombie cats and skeleton cats.

Wither spawner

This block almost like a default spawner, but it spawns only Wither, and after that will be destroyed by self.

Night stone

This block looks like a nether brick, but it have some specific abilities.
It is a main part of catacombs trap, which allowed gravestones to spawn monsters . When you step on it time will change to sunset.
It can be break by pickaxe, but drop only if you use pickaxe with silk touch, otherwise it will drop nether brick.

Memorials

This blocks is decorative, but it can show some message like gravestone.
They generate randomly in the world. You can harvest with silk touch pickaxe and place in any another place. Also you can buy it from an undertaker.

Creeper statue

Unlike another memorials, this can't be found in the world, and buy at an undertaker. It's dropped at charged creeper death. Also you can find it in catacombs.

Chisel

With this item you can set custom text on a gravestones and memorials. (unfortunately there is bug with it, so the message will not save)

Undertaker

He spawns in some villages. His house looks almost like forge, but with some empty gravestones on its porch. You can by chisel or "empty" gravestones and memorial blocks.

Zombie dog

This monster rather strong and fast like a dog. It attack some peaceful creatures: dogs, cats, sheep, horses and villagers. When he kills a villager, cat, dog or horse they become zombies too.

Zombie Cat

This monster weaker than zombie dog and attack only dogs, cats, chickens, horses and villagers. When he kills a villager, cat, dog or horse they becomes zombie too.

Skeleton dog

This monster have only half health of normal dog, but it is almost twice as fast!

Skeleton cat

This monster have only half health of normal cat, but it is almost twice as fast!

Cemetery

It generates in some villages. All graves contain some loot.

Wither's catacombs

This is a huge structure which begins at surface and goes very deep underground.
Entrance is a big graveyard with mausoleum at it center, but true size of this structure is much bigger. There are a lot of tunnels inside of it, which can contains graves, spawners, traps, and surely some treasures. At the end you can find Wither, which guard nether portal.
This is a rather rare structure which can be generated only in certain biomes: plains, forest, jungle, ice plains and taiga by default.
Beware there is an ancient curse protecting it from any "invaders"!

Every generated grave contains some loot.
Mostly this are few bones and some rotten meat. But with a rare chance it can contain skeleton or zombie skull too.

But this is not all:
There are exists different type of graves which contains some additional loot.

1) Warrior's grave.
It can contain almost full diamond/golden/iron(more valuable are rarer) armor (some chance for every item), sword and bow. All warrior's graves use its sword as gravestone.

2) Miner's grave.
It can contain diamond/golden/iron(more valuable a rarely) pickaxe and some diamond/emeralds gold/iron redstone/lapis lasuli

3) Wizard's grave.
Here you can find potions/enchanted books and some potion ingredients

4) Worker's grave.
It can contain diamond/golden/iron(more valuable a rarely) axe or shovel, and some additional materials...

5) Adventure's grave.
Here you can find empty map/clock/compass, writable book, paintings/records, sticks, cookies and peaceful creatures eggs.

Surely they are in order of ascending chance.

Russian review by TheNeonBoom

If you want to make review!

To make it more easier here is a little hint:
There are some "logs" in code, so if you run minecraft with console you can see catacombs coordinates when they generate. It allows you to not need to inspect the whole map, and not miss it.

Run minecraft from the command line on Windows: Start->Run, enter "cmd". In the command line, enter:

java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -cp "%APPDATA%\.minecraft\bin\*" -Djava.library.path="%APPDATA%\.minecraft\bin\natives" net.minecraft.client.Minecraft

or this(for linux)

cd ~/.minecraft/bin; java -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -Xincgc -cp "minecraft.jar:jinput.jar:lwjgl.jar:lwjgl_util.jar" -Dorg.lwjgl.librarypath="$(pwd)/natives" -Dnet.java.games.input.librarypath="$(pwd)/natives" net.minecraft.client.Minecraft

And some seeds with coordinates:

• seed 5050855297786604590 (you will be spawned on it)
• seed -8929395836669803959 (x 1505, z -1901)
