Death Plus Wiki

Public setup, DeathMessages, DeathSpectate, integrations, and admin troubleshooting for Death Plus.

Getting Started

Start here for installation, file generation, and the admin command surface before you tune either module.

DeathMessages

Configure message routing, templates, and placeholders before you move into spectator-camera tuning.

DeathSpectate

Set up the cinematic death camera, tune the spectator flow, and use the in-game editors safely.

Integrations and Ops

Connect Death Plus to Duck Shot, VehicleMC, and DeadBody, then use the maintenance and troubleshooting docs when something drifts.

DeathMessages

DeathMessages Overview

Understand what DeathMessages owns, how it reads events, and where it fits in the wider combat stack.

DeathMessages replaces or augments vanilla death messages. It supports PVP, mobs, and environmental deaths, plus optional integrations (Duckshot, VehicleMC).

Delivery modes

  • CHAT sends a chat message (recommended).
  • EVENT sets PlayerDeathEvent deathMessage (vanilla pipeline).
  • BOTH sends chat and sets event message.

Broadcast modes

  • GLOBAL sends to everyone online.
  • WORLD only players in the victim world.
  • RADIUS only players within radius-blocks in the victim world.

Built-in prefix

DeathPlus always uses its hard-coded prefix and does not expose a config toggle:

  • &8[&c☠&8]&7

The skull icon is interactive in chat:

  • Hover: Death+ by Duq_ and Server ip: mcwar.co
  • Click: URL from plugin.yml website (fallback https://mcwar.co)

File locations

  • Config: plugins/DeathPlus/death-messages.yml
  • In-game edits: plugins/DeathPlus/death-messages-overrides.yml

Edits made in-game always write to overrides, not the base file.
