Death Knell

Spice up the game with new player death messages.

This mod aims to spice up dying in Minecraft by adding a variety of new death messages to the game. Some messages are displayed when specific events and circumstances happen while others are variations on existing death messages. There are now over 35 death messages introduced by this mod!
