LocalDeathMessages
LocalDeathMessages makes death messages immersive and proximity-based.
Instead of broadcasting deaths globally, only players close to the death location will see the message.
When a player dies, a configurable sound effect plays for nearby players, adding tension and atmosphere to every death. This makes deaths feel local, personal, and meaningful rather than server-wide spam.

- Configurable radius for message visibility
- Optional same-world-only death messages
- Customizable message prefix with color support
