Small change to allow unicode variables "%uXXXX" work with colors or inside other words like "&4%u2605" for red star.
v3.1.0 (Some changes, add-onds and fixes, thanks to Androkai for testings ;) )
CONFIG REORGANIZED! DON'T COPY/PASTE THE CONTENT OF YOUR OLD CONFIG!
"Anvil" death message fixed; the server versions from 1.7.9 to 1.8 are bugged somehow and treat FALLING ANVILS as FALLING SAND BLOCKS so i made a small trick to avoid it.
"Lightning" death message fixed; seems that in MC 1.8 LIGHTNING STRIKES are treated as ENTITIES, can't find the logic on that but fixed.
"Added "Mob Thorns" to death messages; shown when player dies from any mob with thorns, zombie with armor+thorns enchantment etc.
Added "%mob_type" variable (for mob causes) to show entity name identified by the server, useful for Mob Thorns Death Message.
Added a second category for "falling" death message (6+ blocks height).
Fixed some typos in the config.
Fixed "Witch" death message.
Added permissions to silent join/leave the server.
v3.0.0 (BIG UPDATE, Compatible with: MC 1.8)
50% of the plugin recoded for better performance.
Fixed EnderDragon message (now shows correct message istead of void).
Fixed Creeper death message (again for 1.8)
NO MORE SIMBOL/NON-ENGLISH VARIABLES: now able to introduce ANY unicode character from it's unicode number!
Empty messages like ''" are correctly ignored now, therefore, you can disable any First Join/Join/Leave/Kick/Death message globally.
Added variables "%dplayer" and "%dkiller" for player display names.
Added Death Messages for "Endermite" and "Guardian" (1.8).
Added Death Message for "Melting" (found in the bukkit API): "Damage caused due to a snowman melting", maybe you can find something useful for that :D
Death by Blaze fireball fixed, there're 2 types of fireball, small(Blaze) and normal (Ghast and Dispensers).
Added Death Message for "Wither"(skull projectiles).
Added world alias: you can define a list with worlds and an alias to use in the messages instea of the "folder" world name, ex: "world -> Survival" or "world_nether -> Netherworld".
"Silenced Worlds" feature has been removed, in it's place you'll find:
Muted Worlds: disables ALL(Death/Join/Quit/Kick) outgoing messages from worlds in that list.
Deaf Worlds: disables ALL(Death/Join/Quit/Kick) incoming messages to worlds in that list.
Removed duplicate messages from the config, but remember, you can add as many as you wish!
v2.8.0
Added more simbols by petition: Radioactive "☢", Biohazard "☣" and Hammer with Sickle "☭"
Now, you can disable any General Message (join, leave...) by just leaving it empty.
Updated to 1.7.9 - 1.7.10
v2.7.0
Plugin fully updated to 1.7.2
Added commands to toggle (FOR YOURSELF) Death Messages and/or General Messages (Join/Leave/Kick):
/dm all-> Toggles all messages on/off.
/dm dm -> Toggles only death messages on/off.
/dm gm -> Toggles only general messages on/off.
/dm -> Shows a list of commands.
WARNING: Permissions Changed!:
dm.admin.commands -> deathmessages.admin
dm.user.commands -> deathmessages.user
v2.6.2
Plugin fully updated to 1.6.4.
v2.6.1
Now, DeathMessages will ignore the message process if other plugin cancels it.
Wither kills sometimes are triggered as "melee" instead of "shoot" even if it kills you from distance, applied changes to register both causes.
v2.6.0
Some code improvements done.
Now, if the Death Message is null or empty (caused by other plugin) Death Messages will ignore the Message (no Message/Broadcast will be shown from Death Messages Plugin).
Added debug mode.
Added error reasons for conflicts with other plugins (message will be displayed for the victim).
Added character æ to variables with the code " %[ae] "
Added character ø to variables with the code " %[o5] "
Changed the way to handle PvP Death Messages Broadcasting, you can now choose between:
(1) Don't show any.
(2) Show them as usual.
(3) ONLY show PvP Death Messages.
v2.5.2
Added symbol ☠ to variables with the code " %[simbol1] "
v2.5.1
Added a small fix for people writing non-existing worlds in the "Linked_Worlds" list, of course this causes errors so now the plugin ignore those worlds, but you can save some CPU usage by not writing inexisting worlds (which has no sense).
v2.5.0
For the ones getting errors with essentials commands as "/suicide" or "/kill" please update essentials, is not a Death Messages error.
Added variable for "ü" character.
New Feature: "Linked Worlds", you can make a set of worlds that will share Death and Generic messages, the rest of worlds out of this set will only get messages from itself, this feature is optional (toggeable).
New feature: worlds in the "Silenced_Worlds" list will not receive ANY message from ANY world, total silence.
Old feature "Disabled_Worlds" has been removed from plugin.
v2.4.1
Message for Creeper Deaths fixed due to a bug with bukkit, when bukkit fixes it i'll change again to the correct method, meanwhile this will do the trick.
v2.4.0
Code performance increased.
Updated common methods (present in all my plugins)
You can now disable PvP Death Messages in the config.
Added "Thorns" Death Cause to PvP Messages.
Now weapon materials appears like "Diamond sword" instead of "diamond sword" or "DIAMOND_SWORD".
v2.3.1
Added option in config to enable/disable General Messages (First Join/Recurrent Join/Disconnect/Kick messages), YOU MUST RELOAD or STOP/START THE SERVER FOR THIS CHANGE TO TAKE EFFECT, this will totally turn off the listener, so will have no impact on performance for people that just want to use death messages.
Added character variables for swedish: åäö
v2.3.0
Added Kick message.
Added variables for non-english characters (not accepted by the bukkit parser), so you can use them anyways with variables.
Command node is now /deathmessages , /dm still works as alias.
v2.2.0
Added Join(and first join) and Leave (disconnect) messages, also with player variable name and color/format support.
Plugin updated against Minecraft 1.5.1
v2.1.0
World disabling support, you can fill a list with the worlds you don't want to show any death message.
v2.0.3
Fixed: Bug that uses the Slime message for both entities, slimes and magma cubes cause bukkit treats them same way, added an extra check to ensure they're different entities.
v2.0.2
Fixed: Weird bug caused for an unknown plugin that treats players as skeleton entities, that makes the plugin throws errors with skeletons and wither skeletons.
v2.0.1
Due to problems with the snakeYAML parsed (used by bukkit) for yml files in Linux, i recoded the plugin into "ISO-8859-1" which works in Windows, Linux and MAC.
v2.0.0
Mayor plugin recode (better performance is always good).
Added config version checker, that means if your config.yml is an old version will be renamed to "old_config.yml" and the plugin will create an updated version.(Warning: will only work from 2.0.0 in advance, you must delete your old configs to let plugin create a new one in this case)
Added warning when some plugin is causing conflicts with player names (like Citizens that uses NPCs as Players) instead of throwing a huge error, but the PvP message will not work, cause a NPC is not a Player obviously.
Thanks to the poll: added World Name to the variables for the Death Messages, you can now use "%world" in ANY message to show the world in which the player died.
v1.9
Totally recoded the weapon material and weapon name part due to a weird bug, this fix all possible problems.
v1.8
Fixed a bug for the Weapon Names, now, you can use %weapon_material or %weapon_name.
v1.7
Updated to 1.4.7 R-1.0
Added support for weapon names (you can still use weapon material instead of names, or both, if the weapon don't have a meta name will show the material one).
Added support for Wither Skeleton and Skeleton Melee (skeleton without bow).
Code performance increased.
Fixes:
Fall Damage Cause works well, is not bugged, but some users get the void message, this is surely due a confict with other plugin.
Primed TNT Cause works well, is not bugged, but some users get the void message, this is surely due a confict with other plugin.

Updated to 1.4.6 R-0.3
Code performance improved.

Added anvil death message.

Added more messages per cause, to make the server choose via a random algorithm.
Added support for special formats; bold, italic, underline...
Fixed message when dying with commands like /kill or /suicide (will use unknown cause messages).
v1.3
Added Reload Commad (don't need to make a general reload or stop/start your server to reload config.yml).
v1.2
First Official Release, i didn't want to upload the previous versions until i have a stable and ultra-configurable version.
