DeathMessages is a modern, lightweight death notification plugin that brings clarity and style to every player's final moments. When players fall in combat or meet their end through the environment, clean, customizable messages instantly inform the server—no vanilla clutter, no hardcoded strings, just polished announcements that fit your server's theme. The entire experience is driven by YAML: every message, color scheme, and output module (chat, actionbar, title, subtitle) is fully configurable and reloadable in‑game, so changes take effect instantly without restarts. Advanced color support covers both hex and legacy codes, ensuring vibrant presentation on any server aesthetic.
Notifications are smart and player‑friendly. The plugin automatically distinguishes between PvP kills and environmental deaths, tracking attackers through direct hits and projectile shots to deliver accurate, context‑aware messages. Players who prefer a quieter experience can toggle death messages on or off with a simple command, giving everyone control over their feed. PlaceholderAPI integration unlocks dynamic placeholders, letting you weave in player stats, ranks, or custom data for richer storytelling. Permissions are straightforward: players use /deathtoggle to manage their visibility, and admins can reload all configurations centrally with /deathmessagesreload or /deathmessages reload.
Built for Paper 1.21+, DeathMessages uses efficient event handling and asynchronous scheduling for thread safety and consistent performance under load. There are no hardcoded messages or hidden fallbacks—just fast, reliable death notifications, clean messaging modules, and a lightweight setup that gives you full control over how your server commemorates every player's demise.
