# Universal Graves
\nIt’s a simple, but really customisable grave\/death chest mod!
\nYou can customise as you like, by modifying message, blocks and hologram texts, how long it will be protected,
\nif should drop items after expiring and alike.<\/p>\n
This mod can work purely on servers, through for model support mod is required on clients!<\/p>\n
*This mod works only on Fabric and Quilt!*<\/p>\n
If you have any questions, you can ask them on my Discord<\/p>\n
Also check out my other mods and project, as you might find them useful!<\/p>\n
