Death Leaderboard (Server-Side Mod)

Death Leaderboard is a server-side Minecraft Forge mod that tracks player deaths and displays a temporary Top N leaderboard using the vanilla scoreboard system.

The leaderboard appears automatically when a player dies or can be shown manually with a command, then disappears after a configurable amount of time.

Clients do not need to install the mod — only the server.
