dhmcDeath
dhmcDeath will display humorous messages about a player death, including their username, what the cause of death was (mob type, drowning, fall, etc) and during pvp, will display the name of the killing player and what weapon was used.
Based on HeroicDeath which did such a great job - but for larger servers like ours, we needed more flexibility.
Change existing death messages, add your own. Use placeholders for the player who died, the killer, and weapon (for pvp). You can separate messages by death type and for mob-related deaths you can separate them to be mob-specific. You can disable death messages for any specific death type.
Optionally you can limit the death messages to each world, and/or limit them to a configurable range.
dhmcDeath boasts some killer features:
- Tons of great messages out-of-the-box.
- Easy configuration of death messages. Similar syntax as HeroicDeath for easy conversion.
- Use generic mob messages or add them for specific mob types
- Custom chat colors allowed in messages.
- Disable message for specific events, i.e. show mob death messages but ignore PVP
- Limit messages by world
- Optionally limit the message to players within a range of the death
- Shows owners of tamed wolves
- Supports all 1.1 Minecraft mobs
Installing / Configuring
To install, place the dhmcdeath.jar file into your plugins folder. By default, it will be configured in a way that will work immediately.
- messages.allowcrossworld = Allow messages to be heard cross-world
- messages.hear_distance = If not cross world, how far should players be to hear the death msg
- messages.log_deaths = Log deaths to the console
- allowdethpointtponpvp = If a pvp and the user has death point tp, should they be allowed to return to their pvp death spot
Permissions:
- dhmcdeath.hear = They will hear/see all death messages
- dhmcdeath.tp = They can use /death to return to their death point

Cool plugin, but formatting codes (&l, &n and &k) aren't working for the death messages :/
@botskonet
Okay, I was just wondering because I had wanted to get a plugin that does that, but why get a new one if it can be implemented into one you already have. With the configuration you could have it off by default because it is a death messages plugin.
@armanisbeast
It should be pretty easy to provide a new placeholder that would be the actual display name of the weapon. I'll make a note to add that, but not sure when I'll have a chance.
Is it possible for an option for custom weapon names to join? Players love this plugin, one more thing they'd like is for the weapon name to be shown, such as if they name it Mauler or Axe Of Death.
Or just make it possible to have the normal bukkit death messages that show the weapon name and these message enabled at once, that'd also be great. Thanks so much!
@Sa5mmm
We could, but I'm not sure how many people would really want that.
Would there be a way to implement custom joining and leaving messages as well? I know the plugin is call dhmcDeath, but it seems you could add this as well as adding the ability to customize the achievement messages.
Hey whenever somebody gets killed by a blaze it doesn't show the Blaze name.
@PaulBGD
If you are using HealthBar disable Deathmessage fix.
News for the version 1.5.2 of bukkit R0.1. Working?
@botskonet
Ah, ok. That works in-game but not from the console FYI.
For some reason it is saying "IGN died" after the death message.
@Hangar
Pretty sure /dhmcdeath reload is the right command.
I don't suppose there's a reload command? I'm planning to do a lot of customization of mine but much of it will be while the server is up.
Thanks :)
I saw that the Legendary server network uses this plugin. That is pretty cool.
@FourDowning
Should be.
Is dhmcDeath compatible with Spigot?
Sonething that would be cool: name was killed by fall damage thanks to name
@roshpoint0
Which permission system? I'm not sure what to say - the messages are working properly on our server.
Only ops can see the messages... I gave the other ranks dhmcdeath.hear permission and they still cant see them. PLEASE HELP
