Description
# Fake Death
**The camera tips over, the death screen opens, your death message shows up in chat. But you are still alive.**
You are just chopping a tree. Twenty minutes later it falls on you. You are mining quietly. The ceiling cracks. You wander through the village and a villager from the tax office wants to see your diamonds.
**Fake Death waits for the right moment and then plays you a short, silly or creepy death scene that fits exactly what you are doing.** The real death screen opens, your death message is in chat, your heart skips a beat. Then you click "Respawn" and realize: nothing happened. You still have all your items.
- 🎬 **89 scenes**, from creepy to completely absurd
- 🎯 **Fits the moment:** tree scenes while chopping, cave-ins underground, ghasts in the Nether, Mom only late at night on your real clock
- 😱 **Comes by itself** after 10 to 30 minutes, so you never know when
- 🖥️ **Only on your screen:** the server and other players notice nothing, you lose nothing
- 🔓 **Works everywhere:** singleplayer and any server, no operator permissions, no commands
- 🌍 **English and German**
### ⭐ Highlights
- 🐔 **Chicken Revenge:** you smack a chicken. It calls forty friends. Six of them carry you into the sky. And let go.
- 💼 **Tax Office:** an audit of your untaxed diamonds, settled with a laser.
- 🎩 **Magician:** "I will now saw you in half!" The trick fails.
- 🩴 **Mom:** "It's 2:13! Why are you still awake?" Then the slipper flies.
- 🌕 **Falling Moon:** at night the moon grows bigger and bigger. And then it comes down.
- 🪞 **Doppelganger:** a chat message in your own name: "Don't turn around."
> ⚠️ **Photosensitivity warning:** some scenes flash by default (the Glitch, lightning, a camera flash). If you are sensitive to flashing lights, switch off "Flashing effects" in the settings (Options → "Fake Death..." or Mod Menu): then no scene flashes any more, bright moments fade in and out gently.

## Your way
- **Can't wait?** Try every scene right away on the test screen: Options → "Fake Death..." → "Test scenes...", or via Mod Menu.
- **Too often, too rare?** Set the time range yourself.
- **Not a fan of a scene?** Switch each one off on its own, or turn the random fake death off completely.
- **Light on performance:** while nothing is planned, the mod does no work per tick at all.
## Nothing can go wrong
- A fake death only starts when you stand safely on the ground: no falling, no damage, no water, no lava, not up in a tree, no monster nearby, no open menu.
- "Respawn" and "Title screen" are intercepted. You do not get kicked from the server.
- The mobs, lightning bolts and falling blocks only exist on your client. After the scene everything is back to normal.
- Only your camera turns. Your real view direction stays where it was, so other players see nothing.
- If you really die during a fake, the real death takes over as usual.

## Deutsch
**Die Kamera kippt, der Todesbildschirm geht auf, im Chat steht deine Todesmeldung. Aber du lebst noch.**
Du fällst gerade einen Baum. Zwanzig Minuten später kippt er auf dich. Du baust in Ruhe ab. Die Decke knackt. Du läufst durchs Dorf, und ein Villager vom Finanzamt will deine Diamanten sehen.
**Fake Death wartet auf den richtigen Moment und spielt dir dann eine kurze, lustige oder gruselige Todesszene vor, die genau zu dem passt, was du gerade machst.** Der echte Todesbildschirm geht auf, deine Todesmeldung steht im Chat, dein Herz rutscht in die Hose. Dann klickst du auf „Wiederbeleben“ und merkst: Es ist nichts passiert. Alle Items sind noch da.
- 🎬 **89 Szenen**, von gruselig bis völlig absurd
- 🎯 **Passt zum Moment:** Baum beim Holzfällen, Einsturz unter Tage, Ghasts im Nether, Mama nur spät nachts nach echter Uhrzeit
- 😱 **Kommt von selbst** nach 10 bis 30 Minuten, du weißt nie wann
- 🖥️ **Nur auf deinem Bildschirm:** Server und andere Spieler merken nichts, du verlierst nichts
- 🔓 **Läuft überall:** Einzelspieler und jeder Server, keine OP-Rechte, keine Befehle
- 🌍 **Deutsch und Englisch**
### ⭐ Highlights
- 🐔 **Hühner-Rache:** Du haust ein Huhn. Es ruft vierzig Freunde. Sechs davon tragen dich in den Himmel. Und lassen los.
- 💼 **Finanzamt:** Steuerprüfung deiner Diamanten, erledigt per Laser.
- 🎩 **Zauberer:** „Ich zersäge dich jetzt in zwei Hälften!“ Der Trick geht schief.
- 🩴 **Mama:** „Es ist 2:13! Warum bist du noch wach?“ Dann fliegt der Hausschuh.
- 🌕 **Mond fällt:** Nachts wird der Mond größer und größer. Und dann kommt er runter.
- 🪞 **Doppelgänger:** Eine Chatnachricht unter deinem Namen: „Dreh dich nicht um.“
> ⚠️ **Warnhinweis Lichtempfindlichkeit:** Manche Szenen blitzen standardmäßig (Glitch, Blitz, Kamerablitz). Wenn du empfindlich auf blinkende Lichter reagierst, schalte „Blinkende Effekte“ in den Einstellungen aus (Optionen → „Fake Death …“ oder Mod Menu). Dann blitzt keine Szene mehr, helle Momente blenden sanft ein und aus.

### Wie du willst
- **Keine Geduld?** Probier jede Szene sofort im Test-Menü aus: Optionen → „Fake Death …“ → „Szenen testen …“, oder über Mod Menu.
- **Zu oft, zu selten?** Den Zeitraum stellst du selbst ein.
- **Eine Szene nervt?** Jede lässt sich einzeln ausschalten, oder der Zufalls-Tod ganz.
- **Nichts kann schiefgehen:** Ein Fake-Tod startet nur, wenn du sicher auf dem Boden stehst. „Wiederbeleben“ und „Titelbildschirm“ werden abgefangen, du fliegst nicht vom Server. Stirbst du währenddessen wirklich, zählt ganz normal der echte Tod.
