DeathMessages

DeathMessages is a small Minecraft server-side project that sends a private message to a player when they die, showing the block coordinates of their death.

The repository builds two platform artifacts:

Paper plugin
Fabric mod

Current message format:

You died at <x>, <y>, <z>.

Requirements

Java 25
Gradle wrapper included in this repository

Paper

Paper API 26.2

Fabric

Minecraft 26.2
Fabric Loader 0.19.3 or newer
Fabric API for Minecraft 26.2

Building

From the repository root, build both platform artifacts:

./gradlew :fabric:build :paper:build

Build only Paper:

./gradlew :paper:build

Build only Fabric:

./gradlew :fabric:build

The built jars are created at:

paper/build/libs/DeathMessages-1.0+26.2.jar
fabric/build/libs/DeathMessages-1.0+26.2.jar

Installation

Paper

Build the Paper plugin jar.
Copy paper/build/libs/DeathMessages-1.0+26.2.jar into your Paper server's plugins directory.
Restart the server.

Fabric

Build the Fabric mod jar.
Copy fabric/build/libs/DeathMessages-1.0+26.2.jar into your Fabric server's mods directory.
Make sure Fabric API is also installed in the server's mods directory.
Restart the server.

Behavior

Sends the message only to the player who died.
Uses block coordinates from the player's death location.
Does not broadcast death coordinates to other players.
Paper listens for PlayerDeathEvent.
Fabric listens for Fabric API's server living-entity death event and handles player deaths only.
