Gravestone Blocks are a family of stone and tombstone blocks added by the Sleepy Hollows mod. The family has 31 blocks: the gravestone stone line, with slabs, stairs and walls and mossy versions of each, and four tombstone blocks. The stones are the building material of the Sleepy Hollows biome and its cemetery, and the tombstones are the mod's interactive blocks, which can wake at night and summon armored undead. Every block in the family stacks to 64, has a hardness of 1.5 and a blast resistance of 6, and is harvested with a pickaxe. The Wooden Tombstone also lists an axe as a tool.

Fear Nightfall makes the Sleepy Hollows biome more common than in the base mod, and it places the cemetery and other horror structures about 30% closer together. Gravestone blocks are therefore a common sight in the pack's forest and taiga horror areas, and a player who builds in the biome is likely to meet tombstones at night.

Obtaining

The stones are obtained by crafting, smelting and stonecutting, and the tombstones are found in the world. Tombstones are not crafted.

Natural generation

The Sleepy Hollows biome is the only place where these blocks generate naturally. Gravestone and Cobbled Gravestone are placed by the biome's surface rules. The biome also has a gravestone boulder feature, a gravestone slab feature and a tombstones patch that places a mix of tombstone blocks, some active and some inactive. The cemetery structure is placed only in the Sleepy Hollows biome, with a random-spread spacing of 32 and a separation of 16. See Sleepy Hollows and Sleepy Hollows Cemetery for placement details.

Crafting

Cobbled Gravestone is the base stone of the family. Smelting Cobbled Gravestone produces Gravestone in 200 ticks (10 seconds) and gives 0.1 experience. Gravestone Bricks are crafted from four Gravestone, and Cracked Gravestone Bricks are made by smelting Gravestone Bricks (200 ticks, 0.1 experience). The stonecutter produces the slab, stair, wall and chiseled variants of each stone from a single block.

Mossy variants are made in a crafting grid by combining a plain stone with a Moss Block or Vines. The mossy line includes Mossy Gravestone, Mossy Cobbled Gravestone, Mossy Gravestone Bricks and Mossy Chiseled Gravestone, each with its own slab, stair and wall forms.

Usage

The stones are plain building blocks. Each stone has a full set of slab, stair and wall forms, so a builder can use the Gravestone line for roofs, walls, paths and cemetery-style decoration. The mossy variants suit overgrown or abandoned-looking builds, since the moss is part of the block's appearance.

Tombstones

The four tombstone blocks are Small Tombstone, Tombstone (the mid-size block), Big Tombstone and Wooden Tombstone. Each has an active state. An inactive tombstone is decoration. A tombstone wakes at night in the following way:

  • A non-active tombstone receives random ticks. At night, each random tick has a 1 in 40 chance to activate it, but only while a player is within 16 blocks. An active tombstone glows and plays a soul-escape sound.
  • Right-clicking an active tombstone with Spectral Essence spawns up to 3 Hauntbound Guardians, which are skeletons with Spectral Jack o'Lantern heads and Spectral War Axes. Each of the chest, legs and boots pieces, and the shield, has a 30% chance to be Hauntbound gear. The tombstone then gives its gift loot table, which can contain Essence of Undead, spectral essence, a loot bag and Luminous Water. The tombstone deactivates after use.
  • Attacking an active tombstone deals 5 magic damage to the attacker.

The Hauntbound Guardians wear Hauntbound Armor pieces only by chance, so the set is not a reliable source of protection against them. Tombstones are a hazard at night: they can wake while a player is nearby, and striking one costs health.

Headless Horseman

The Headless Horseman changes terrain during his fight. In his first phase (above 66% health), every 7th melee hit converts every fluid source block (water and lava) in a 21 by 21 by 21 block cube around him into Gravestone. Water and lava in that area are replaced by solid stone for the duration of the fight.
