Death Debrief
Know exactly what killed you.
You died. Again. But what actually happened? Was it the creeper, the fall, or that one skeleton you never saw? Death Debrief shows a clear, detailed report the moment you die: the real death message, a timeline of every hit from the last 10 seconds, damage before and after armor, and where your items are.
Features
The debrief screen
- Cause-of-death card with the real death message
- Player figure and armor exactly as you were at the moment of death
- Badges: coordinates, dimension, XP levels lost, item stacks dropped (or "No items")
- Circular item-despawn countdown, hidden when you have no items or keepInventory is on
- Damage timeline of the last 10 seconds, with icons per damage type
- Hit table: time, source, damage after / before armor, hearts left
- Buttons: Waypoint, Copy coords, Respawn, History, Close
- Open it from the button on the death screen, with key B, or with
/deathdebrief
Death history
- Saves your last 50 deaths per world / server to disk
- Browse with < > or open the History list
- Deaths whose items have already despawned are marked Expired
