A bones block appears when a player dies. It has its own inventory and the entire player inventory of the dying player is transferred to the bones block. When punched, the contents of the inventory are transferred to the inventory of the puncher until the puncher’s inventory is full. It is also possible to manually select items by using the bones block. When the bones’ inventory is empty, the bones block is destroyed, therefore making it impossible to receive the bones block itself. It is not possible to place items in the bones’ inventory; items can only be removed.

Bones that are younger than 20 minutes in real time are called “fresh”, otherwise they are called “old”. While the bones are fresh, the contents can only be collected by the player who died. Once they have become old, however, the contents can be collected by anyone. Servers can change the time it takes for bones to become old by changing the minetest.conf setting share_bones_time (time is in seconds).

An informational text containing the name of the player who died and the freshness is shown when pointing to a bones block.

Bones are not created in creative mode; the items are kept on a player’s death.
