DeathMessages

DeathMessages — a lightweight plugin that enhances player death messages. It shows custom death texts, death location coordinates, and adds a [✨ BACK] button for players with the deathmessages.dback permission.

Features

• Custom death messages (players, mobs, falls, fire, etc.)
• Display of player death coordinates
• [✨ BACK] button for players with deathmessages.dback permission
• Configuration reload via /deathmessages reload
• Fallback to standard Minecraft message if custom one isn't found

Configuration

settings:
  # Show death coordinates to player
  show-death-coordinates: true
  # Show return to death location button
  show-back-button: true

  prefix: "<gray>[💀]</gray>"
  reload:
    no-permission: "<red>You don't have permission for this command!"
    success: "<green>DeathMessages config reloaded!"
    usage: "<yellow>Usage: /deathmessages reload"
  deathback:
    invalid: "<red>Death point not found!"

# Player death messages
death-messages:
  prefix: "<gray>"
  # Death by another player
  # Available placeholders: {player}, {killer}, {killer_health}
  player:
    - "⚔️ {player} was defeated by player {killer} [<red>❤</red>{killer_health}]"
    - "🎯 {player} fell by the hand of {killer} [<red>❤</red>{killer_health}]"
    - "⚡ {player} was killed by player {killer} [<red>❤</red>{killer_health}]"
    - "💥 {player} lost a duel against {killer} [<red>❤</red>{killer_health}]"
# ... other death types ...

Supported variables in messages:

• {player} — name of the deceased player
• {killer} — name of the killer (player)
• {killer_health} — remaining health of the killer (player)

If no message is found for a death type, the plugin uses the standard Minecraft message.

In-Game Example

Broadcast message for all players:

💥 Player exploded from a creeper

Personal message to player:

💀 Death coordinates: X: 124 Y: 68 Z: -32

Personal message to player with deathmessages.dback permission:

💀 Death coordinates: X: 124 Y: 68 Z: -32
[✨ BACK]

By clicking on the button, the player is teleported to the place of death.
