Corail Tombstone handles your death in Minecraft by providing tons of configuration options, many features to encourage to discover the world and several compatibilities between mods.

Decorative graves

The decorative graves are special blocks with a fog particle only during the night.
They can be harvested with shovel/pickaxe and can be engraved with the anvil (see below).
The decorative graves can be haunted by a soul, depending on the chance set in the config.
The soul stays until used and allows some enchants like magic scroll/tablet, or upgrade the grave's key.
Dark and white graves has no difference for the gameplay (as the chosen model).
To build a decorative grave, you will need to collect Grave's Dust (the common way to obtain them is by killing undeads or with Cat Morning Gift), and one Essence of Undeath being an ingredient obtainable through the advancements (the first one is by finding how to select your favorite grave in the config in game) and rarely foundable on undeads, Cat Morning Gift and by fishing in deep water (but don't hope to find them by theses ways except by luck).

Inscription on decorative graves

By using the anvil, you can combine a grave plate with an iron ingot to set a name on that plate.
This can be used then to set or change the name on your decorative graves. A config allows to prevent to switch the names.
In older versions, grave plates were not present and the decorative graves needed to be combined in the anvil.

Grave Guardian

Rarely, a Grave Guardian can appear near a decorative grave. This guardian will protect the surroundings from hostile creatures and will offer to trade with the players. This is one way to obtain Essence of Undeath. During special events, the trades may differ.

Abandoned Graves

Abandoned Graves can be found in Overworld on the world surface and in the ocean (only in Minecraft version 1.20.1+).
They come in 5 differents colors and are lootable graves, the loots being configurable in "config/tombstone/loottables" folder.
You can use the structure tag "#tombstone:abandoned_grave" to search for them with command.
The biome tags "tombstone:has_structure/abandoned_grave_land" and "tombstone:has_structure/abandoned_grave_ocean" allows to edit the available biomes (with a datapack or a tweaker mod).
The equipement loots can be configured with the 3 item tags: "tombstone:lootable/armor", "tombstone:lootable/weapon" and "tombstone:lootable/tool".

Forgotten Knowledge

Recent versions of Corail Tombstone introduce some mysterious readable scrolls providing forgotten knowledge to those who resolve the riddles hidden within (a ritual flute can be found as loot to start some of them).
For example, "Elyra's Diary" will allow you to cast enhanced prayers on graves, and the "Rite of Silent Bound" archives will provide an affinity with undeads under some conditions.

Knowledge of Death

Players earns knowledge points each time they use a grave's soul to enchant an item, when they free a soul from a receptacle, by praying near a decorative grave with a special item called Ankh of Pray (with a cooldown of 6 in-game hours), or by accomplishing the tombstone advancements.
Theses points allow you to unlock some perks in a special gui "Knowledge of Death" (the keybind in "misc" is not defined by default).
The perks are small bonus related to all the features of tombstone, instead of providing them by default (some of them will be displayed based on what is allowed in the config).
