I was turned to stone by a Cockatrice while exploring a dungeon, when I went back to my death I found my statue and broke it but none of my items dropped so I lost everything. As far as I know the statue is supposed to drop your previously had items. I'm not sure if I broke it incorrectly or what not but I am quite confused and would love and explanation.

A group of my friends and I have a server with this mod on it and when the cockatrice kills us and we are turned into stone, it takes all of our stuff too. Even after we break the statues, we get nothing back

Do you have any tombstone mod? I have Corail Tombstone in the custom modpack I'm playing with my friends and we had this issue as well. Can it be an incompatibility between those mods?
