Death Messages Revamped 1.0.0

💀 Death Messages Revamped — Intelligent, Contextual, and Engaging Death Messages

Tired of the same old "Player fell from a high place"? Death Messages Revamped is a professional, drop-in solution designed to replace Minecraft's generic death notifications with smart, contextual, and often humorous messages. It elevates the server experience by providing clarity and personality to one of the game's most common events.

⭐ Core Features

🧠 Intelligent Attacker Attribution
Our smartest feature. The plugin doesn't just look at the final blow; it analyzes recent combat to find the true cause of death. This system brings unparalleled accuracy to your server's death announcements.

• Contextual Environmental Deaths: If a player is knocked into lava by a skeleton, the death message will credit the skeleton, not the lava. This works for falls, the void, fire, poison, drowning, and more.

• True Projectile Tracking: The plugin correctly identifies the shooter of arrows, the thrower of potions (via Area Effect Clouds), the detonator of TNT, and other projectile sources, ensuring the real killer is always named.

• Damage-Over-Time Attribution: If a player escapes a fight but later succumbs to Wither or Poison effects, the plugin will remember the attacker and credit them for the kill within a configurable time window (default: 10 seconds).

📚 Extensive & Witty Message Library
We've meticulously crafted a massive collection of unique messages to cover a wide array of death scenarios, adding character and fun to your server.

• Per-Mob Uniqueness: A custom message exists for nearly every mob in Minecraft, from the mighty Warden ([Player] was obliterated by a Warden) to the humble Tadpole ([Player] was taddled to death by a Tadpole).

• Creative Environmental Messages: Environmental deaths are no longer boring. Players will now see messages like [Player] discovered the floor is lava or [Player] was sonically obliterated.

• Detailed PvP Messages: The plugin even accounts for unique scenarios like dying to another player's Thorns enchantment ([Player] was killed by [Attacker]'s spiky armor).

🔌 Zero-Configuration, Seamless Integration
Death Messages Revamped is built for simplicity and performance.

• Drag-and-Drop: No setup required. Simply place the plugin in your plugins folder and restart the server. It works immediately.

• No Commands or Permissions: Focus on your server, not on complicated configurations. This plugin is designed to be completely hassle-free for server administrators.

• Clean Override: It safely and cleanly suppresses the default vanilla messages and broadcasts its own, ensuring no duplicate or conflicting notifications.
