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.
This page covers placeholders and how Duckshot templates are resolved.
Placeholders

%victim%,%plrtag%%victim_name%,%victim_username%%victim_display%,%victim_displayname%

Duckshot routing order
PVP:
death-messages.duckshot.pvp.weapon-id.<exact-id>death-messages.duckshot.pvp.weapon-type.<type>death-messages.duckshot.pvp.attack-class.<PROJECTILE|EXPLOSIVE|MELEE>death-messages.duckshot.pvp.default
Mob/NPC attackers:
death-messages.duckshot.mob.weapon-id.<exact-id>death-messages.duckshot.mob.weapon-type.<type>death-messages.duckshot.mob.attack-class.<PROJECTILE|EXPLOSIVE|MELEE>death-messages.duckshot.mob.default
If no key matches, DeathPlus falls back to a safe built-in message.
