Death Messages

Adds customizable player death messages with the possibility of slight randomization.

Messages Configuration

Messages are configured in the Messages section, which is divided into two sub-sections.

In the bottom-most Messages section, you can add an unlimited number of messages. This way, when a player dies, a death message will be selected randomly.

You can use all PlaceholderAPI placeholders along with our internal ones:

%player_name% - Real player name.
%player_display_name% - Player custom name (or real name if none).
%player_prefix% - Player prefix (provided by your permissions plugin if present).
%player_suffix% - Player suffix (provided by your permissions plugin if present).
%player_world% - The name of the player's world.

Damage Type

This section contains messages triggered by player death from the game environment and other general factors, such as explosions or hunger.

You can view a list of all available "factors" (Damage Types) and their descriptions on the Minecraft Wiki. Please use them along with the minecraft: namespace to avoid any potential issues in the future.

Note that this also includes factors like player_attack, mob_attack, and others involving death from PvP/PvE. However, they will only be used if the Causing-Entity section does not contain messages for the specific type of mob/player that was the killer.

For these messages, the %source% and %item% placeholders are available, displaying the mob/killer's name and the weapon used (if any).

Causing Entity

This section contains messages triggered by player death as a result of PvE/PvP events from a specific type of mob or player, such as a zombie or skeleton.

You can view the list of all available entity types on the Minecraft Wiki in the Resource location column. Please use them along with the minecraft: namespace to avoid any potential issues in the future.

The %source% and %item% placeholders are available for all messages here, displaying the mob/killer's name and the weapon used (if any).

Note that if a message for a specific mob type is missing, a general message (if available) from the Damage-Type section will be used depending on the death factor (damage type).
