Tombstones

A Tombstone drops when a player on any difficulty setting dies. It can then be retrieved and used much like a sign or a decoration. By default they contain a message about how the player died.

Tombstones can be easily farmed by placing Hellstone or Meteorite directly under the spawn and then creating a new character. The player will die, create a tombstone and then they will spawn again and die again. Alternatively it can be done by digging straight down from the spawn so the newly spawned player will die from fall damage.

Upon death, the tombstone will bounce around for a moment and then place itself on a nearby 2x2 free space. Two tombstones cannot land on each other, nor can they be retrieved if they fail to place themselves (e.g., due to lack of suitable space).

Variants
Variants are chosen randomly upon death. Golden tombstones drop when the player has more than ten gold in the inventory.

Strange Looking Tombstone
A special Tombstone dropped when the Worm Pet is active at death. Inspired by Worms 3, as with the pet. It says "A Tombstone that kinda looks like a worm, right?" as the description.
