Questions
How do you make a graveyard in Minecraft?
Make a square yard with a low fence and a gate, a path down the middle, then put small stone tombstones in rows with a patch of podzol in front of each. A dead tree and a lamp finish it. This one takes 281 blocks.
What do you use for tombstones in Minecraft?
Stone blocks like polished andesite, cobblestone or mossy cobblestone. Make each one 3 wide and 2 high with 1 block on top so it looks round.
Is this the Graveyard mod?
No. It is a build you make with normal blocks, so you need no mods. It takes 281 blocks.
