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.

Getting Started

Install and First Boot

Install Death Plus, generate the folder cleanly, and confirm the plugin starts with the expected files.

DeathPlus supports Paper/Spigot 1.21 through 1.21.11 on Java 21.

Install

  1. Place DeathPlus.jar in plugins/.
  2. Start the server once.
  3. Confirm generated files in plugins/DeathPlus/:
  • config.yml
  • death-messages.yml
  • death-spectate.yml

Optional runtime files:

  • death-messages-overrides.yml
  • death-spectate-overrides.yml
  • death-spectate-data.yml

Reloading safely

  • /deathplus reload reloads both modules.
  • /deathmessages reload only reloads DeathMessages.
  • /deathspectate reload only reloads DeathSpectate.

Overrides load order

The overrides files always load after base YAML files. If a base edit looks ignored, check the overrides file first.

Version note

DeathPlus uses Maven filtering to write the version into plugin.yml. Always build with:

TEXT
mvn -q clean package

If you see InvalidDescriptionException: version is not defined, the jar was not built with Maven filtering.
