Tombstones and Graves

The Tombstones and Graves are 19 single-tombstone surface structures added by Born in Chaos. Each grave type is a small plot built around one unique tombstone block. Each tombstone is named after a person, handle or character, and carries an engraved epitaph. The graves are a horror feature of the pack: they spawn in the forests, taigas, swamps and cold biomes that make up much of the Fear Nightfall overworld, and a few of them hold chests or animals.

Breaking any tombstone awards the Grave Ravager advancement, so every grave gives the player a reason to visit it.

Generation

Every grave type is a separate overworld structure placed on the surface during world generation. Each type is limited to its own list of biomes, and the pack's data places all of them in the Overworld.

Graves are rare. In a sample of about 26 km² of overworld terrain, four types each appeared twice (Dark Titan, Petasi, Memesus and 2003wise), five appeared once (Feral, Plug, Rotborne, Somfunambulist and Carrion.exe), and ten did not appear at all. The sample is a guide, not a guarantee. Fear Nightfall places Born in Chaos structures about 30% closer together than the mod's defaults, so graves are somewhat more common in this pack than in the original mod.

Biome lists differ by grave type. The most widely distributed types are Dark Titan (30 biomes, including plains, meadows, flower fields and Caldera), Petasi (26 biomes, mostly cold and snowy terrain such as Snowy Plains, Snowy Taiga and Tundra), Memesus (22 biomes, mostly cold and rocky terrain) and Somfunambulist (12 biomes, forests such as Maple Forest, Redwood Forest and Blooming Valley). Narrower types are tied to one biome family:

• Nino 4416 to swamps (Bayou, Willow Swamp, Marsh, Bog and Fungal Fen).
• The Gentleman Frog to Floodplain, Mangrove Swamp and Bayou.
• TEM187 to savanna and dry biomes such as Savanna, Dry Bushland and Rainforest.
• Orion to birch forests such as Birch Forest and Silver Birch Forest.
• Fubuki Banzai and D4rk Devil X to Magnolia Woodland and Cherry Grove.
• Mike & Rory to Orchard, Flower Forest and Yosemite Lowlands.

The full biome list for each grave type is in the structure table under Tombstones and Graves.

Layout

Each grave is one jigsaw structure built from a single template. The template holds the tombstone and the ground and blocks around it. Templates measure roughly 31 to 42 blocks across the widest horizontal side and 28 to 39 blocks tall. Rotborne (42 by 32 by 36) is the largest by footprint, and Plug (37 by 39 by 33) is the tallest. The structure is set on the surface and blended into the surrounding terrain.

The tombstone sits in the plot and faces one of the four horizontal directions. Tombstone blocks are waterlogged-capable, so a grave can sit in water. Some templates include chests (see Tombstones and Graves).

Inhabitants

Most grave templates contain no mobs. Two types place animals inside the structure:

• The Mike & Rory grave places axolotls and bees.
• The Gentleman Frog grave places a frog.

Born in Chaos adds many hostile mobs that spawn in the same biomes at night. See Born in Chaos for the full list.

Loot

Several grave templates include chests. The chest contents are listed in the structure table below, which is generated from the templates. The pack does not add loot modifiers to Born in Chaos structures, so the chests hold only what the mod placed in them.

Tips

• Bring a pickaxe with at least stone tier to every grave. Eighteen of the nineteen tombstones require one to drop. The Plug tombstone requires an axe.
• The Grave Ravager advancement triggers on breaking any tombstone, so one grave is enough to earn it. It gives 10 experience.
• Tombstones glow with a light level of 2 to 4 on most types, which makes them easy to see at night. The area around a grave is still dangerous after dark because of the pack's horror mobs, so plan a visit in daylight.
• Check the biome list in the structure table before searching. A grave type can only appear in the biomes listed for it.

Obtaining

Tombstones cannot be crafted, because the pack adds no recipe for any of them. A player gets a tombstone by breaking a placed one. Each tombstone drops itself. The graves themselves appear only through natural generation, so the player must find one in the world.

Usage

Tombstones are decorative blocks. Each has a short epitaph in its item tooltip. The epitaphs are listed under Tombstones and Graves. Some refer to other content in the pack, such as the Coven and the Seven Curses, but they have no gameplay effect.

Breaking any tombstone grants the Grave Ravager advancement, which is a child of the Born in Chaos advancement root. Breaking a tombstone has no other effect.

Each tombstone is a block item that stacks to 64. The table below lists all 19 tombstone types, with their hardness, blast resistance and tool requirement.
