Due to minecraft's explosion mechanics, graves can (and usually will) be hit and destroyed by the same explosion that killed the player death, as can the resultant itemEntities.

The problem is: graves are supposed to make death less punishing on the player, but with this issue, graves make death by creeper, TNT, or ghast more punishing, frequently destroying all items in a way that only voidfall and lavaswimming can do in vanilla minecraft.

Which version of OpenBlocks are you using?

1.2.5, which your main github page says is current. I also browsed through the code on repository to see if graveblocks explosion resistance had been buffed since release, couldn't find anything.

having the same issue! Unfortunately absent documantation (perhaps in config) this means that I also lsot a great deal of time trying to figure out what happend. If this is uncorectable perhaps graves should be off by default with a note in config explaining that turning on graves will result in the loss of all items if explosions are permitted to damage blocks.

Heh, something like that happened to me. The hungry aura nodes from Thaumcraft could eat your grave or items when you break it (which is what happened to me).

In all seriousness though, graves should probably have fairly high explosion resistance and maybe send dropped items straight into whoever broke the grave's inventory. That should be a config option though.

Graves are now much more resistant. Should be fixed.

Any update on this?

It looks like cab9ee6 might have fixed this? Can someone verify if it has, and can we maybe get a release pushed? I don't know why this bug isn't Critical, I've lost nearly my entire inventory twice in the past two days, which is more than a little infuriating.

It's not critical because you can disable graves. We'll push a release when we're ready to do so.

Fair enough.

Another fix/nice feature could be to have a config option to make the graves invincible to explosions. But not to a player breaking it. I have been looking for a plugin or mod that could make any block indestructible from everything except from a player breaking it, so that I could use it with the graves. But then I thought maybe I could just ask/request for a config from you guys.

And since this is somewhat the same subject i thought I would throw in another Idea.

Well, seems hungry nodes not also eat the stuff when you break the gravestone but it also eats the gravestone. Just died to one and there was no gravestone there... :(

If you were eaten by a hungry node, the node eats your drops anyway; there's basically no chance of getting them back, as OpenBlocks can't put a gravestone on top of an aura node.

"It's not critical because you can disable graves." It appears graves cannot be disabled in config using openblocks 1.2.8. However the grave issue still remains

All blocks can be disabled by setting their id to 0

Thanks! That's nice to know but not very clear.. would it be possible to add that as a comment near the top of the config?

Iirc it explains this in the guide book. If not, ill make sure it does for next release.
