LordDeatHunter/FabricWaystones#57

When I die and one or more Universal Graves exist, holding my items. I can no longer use way stones. Clicking a way stone will open the interface. But upon selecting a destination, the UI closes, leaving me where I was. This makes it very difficult to return to my grave!

Upon breaking all my graves (hopefully by retrieving all my items), way stones resume working.

I don't know how would this mod even cause that. You aren't fullfiling some requirements?

You may be correct. According to @LordDeatHunter, I might not be meeting a requirement to use the Way Stones. From looking at my config files, I may need one level of experience - and upon dying, I have no experience until I either earn more or break a grave and get the limited amount it saved. Also, I've been intermittently able to use the way stones even after dying, and that 1 level requirement sitting in the config file might be why.

You can close this.
I didn't understand the cost feature in the Waystones mod - or that the default settings were sucking a level of XP every time I used them (just indicates how poorly I paid attention to the xp gauge ...).
