# Graves

{% hint style="info" %}
Don’t lose your progress — graves secure your inventory on death so you can safely retrieve it later.
{% endhint %}

#### What It Does

When you die, a grave will spawn at your death location containing all of your items. This prevents them from despawning or being picked up by other players.

#### How It Works

Return to your death location with <mark style="color:$primary;">`/back`</mark> and right-click your grave to instantly recover your inventory.

Graves protect your progress and make deaths less punishing while still requiring you to retrieve your items.

{% hint style="warning" %}
⚠️ When you die, you also lose a portion of your EXP.
