Additions:

• CraftEngine Support for Items and Graves
• TextDisplays to act as Grave Holograms. You will need to execute /grave migrate holograms to convert all old ArmorStands Holograms to TextDisplay Holograms. Best is it goes from 1 armorstand per line per grave to one Text Display per grave
• Added Expressions, conditions, and effects (this basically lets people do silly stuff with GravesX from just using skript. Examples are in skript.txt)
• Exposed Death Cause for graves Graves#getDeathCause()
• Added BagOfGold (@Becerritoo and @PetziPotato)
• Added GravePreCreateEvent (Called before a grave is created)
• Opening a grave can now spawn zombies when enabled. zombie.open
• Added block list of items a grave will spawn on top of (this includes carpet or configured blocks in grave.yml to prevent destroying them)

Fixes:

• Fixed issues with holograms not removing when using PersistantDataContainer
• Update Skript implementation to move away from stuff marked for removal.
• Fixed grave.explode setting being ignored
• Fixed issue with grave walking over failing to pop a grave because the player doesnt own the grave
• Fixed a bug with createBlock in GraveProviders if they utilize the grave block
• Binding cursed items deleting instead of keeping them on the player on death
• Protected placeholder being inverted (grave.yml has replaced state with states under protection)

Changes:

• SQLite support has been officially dropped. All SQLite Databases will be migrated to h2.
• EntityData is now cached in memory for faster processing
• Graves reload will now reload the entire plugin
• Grave Providers will now determine which provider created the grave Grave#getProviderID()
• Smart placement had an overhaul. This fixes numerous bugs as well as nether roof placement issues when there shouldn't be nether roof placement
• Graves Tab Complete when it comes to a player search will grab the top 25 results when searching (this prevents lag on large servers with likely over thousands of entries)

Why the version string change?
This change came as a late introduction in the development cycle. This update is pretty much the expected 4.9.11.1 release, but now this is how we are versioning going forward.

How its broken down in the version string:

2026 - Year of release

4.9 - Tied to being a fork of Graves 4.9

1 - Release Number, which can go up infinitely until the next year comes around then it resets back to 1
