Integrations

Ascendra has two optional soft dependencies. Each adds functionality when present, and Ascendra runs normally without them.

DecentHolograms​

  • Version: 2.8.9 or newer.
  • Purpose: Floating hologram labels above graves showing owner, time remaining, and status.
  • If not installed: Holograms are disabled automatically; everything else works as usual.

See the dedicated Holograms page for configuration and placeholders.

GriefDefender​

Ascendra can be made claim-aware so graves don't spawn inside protected claims.

  • Access method: GriefDefender is accessed via reflection, so Ascendra doesn't hard-depend on it.
  • Purpose: Optionally prevent graves from being created inside GriefDefender claims.
  • Configuration:
griefdefender:
  block-graves-in-claims: true
KeyDefaultDescription
griefdefender.block-graves-in-claimstrueIf true, graves do not spawn inside GriefDefender claims.

Fallback behaviour​

When a grave is blocked from spawning inside a claim, Ascendra falls back to vanilla item drops — the player's items drop normally at the death location instead of being captured into a grave.

caution

Because blocked claim deaths fall back to vanilla drops, items dropped inside a claim are subject to normal Minecraft despawn rules. If you want graves everywhere regardless of claims, set block-graves-in-claims: false.

  • If GriefDefender is not installed: This integration is simply inactive and graves are placed normally everywhere (subject to your world and placement settings).
