The Tombstone is an object introduced in the 1.0.5 patch that is placed when a Hardcore or mediumcore player dies; extended to all players in the 1.1 patch. The stone is inscribed with whatever message was displayed in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen, at the time of the player's death.

The stone can be removed with any Hammer or by removing one of the blocks it is sitting on. Once in your inventory, they can be placed on any surface of 2 blocks or more.

Tombstones are similar to Signs due to the text on the both of them being editable. Tombstones do not need to be replaced after death in order for the player to edit its text.

When a Tombstone is first spawned, it is thrown into the air and can sometimes bounce around until it finds a suitable spot to land.If it does not find a spot where it can be planted, it will come to rest and will be able to be picked up without being broken.

Tombstones have no value to be sold, so farming them is not recommended unless used for cosmetic purposes.

NotesEdit

Before the 1.1 patch, tombstones dealt a large amount of damage when still bouncing.

BugsEdit

• Sometimes there is a bug where the Tombstone will stop bouncing. If this is the case, it will disappear after a short time, or if you exit and reopen the world.
• If you read a tombstone while holding a boss-summoning item, the boss will spawn, but the item won't disappear. You can infinitely use boss items this way.
• If you die close to the top of the map, on a sky bridge, e.g. Wyvern, the Tombstone may pass through the bridge.
