Funny Deaths

Every death gets its own 10-second animation: ostrich falls, balloon poison, PvP fatalities and more. Seen by everyone.
Funny Deaths
Dying in Minecraft is boring. Not anymore.
Every time a player dies, a 10-second animation plays with their own skin, depending on how they died. Everyone nearby sees it, and the respawn screen waits until it ends so you can enjoy your own death.
Deaths
Classic
| Cause | What happens |
|---|---|
| Fall | Lands head-first and gets stuck in the ground like an ostrich, kicking its legs |
| Fire | Chars to ash and crumbles to dust piece by piece |
| Lava | Sinks… and a raw human steak floats up and burns away |
| Arrow | Clutches the arrow in the chest, staggers and collapses |
| Explosion | Bursts into dozens of tiny pieces scattered like confetti |
Funny
| Cause | What happens |
|---|---|
| Drowning | Floats belly-up like a dead fish |
| Starvation | Goes paper-thin and is blown away by the wind |
| Void | Runs in mid-air, waves goodbye and drops (cartoon style) |
| Freezing | Turns blue, falls stiff as a plank and shatters into ice |
| Lightning | Electrocuted, falls stiff, smokes and coughs |
| Poison / Magic / Wither | Inflates like a balloon, floats away and pops |
| Cactus / Berry bush | Hops around holding its backside |
| Squashed (anvil, suffocation…) | Flattened like a pancake, peels up like paper |
| Anything else | A dramatic theatrical death |
PvP Fatalities
Kill another player in melee and one of these plays at random, with a big FATALITY title on screen:
- Decapitation: the victim kneels and the head flies off and rolls away.
- Heart Rip: the heart is pulled out, keeps beating… and gets crushed.
- Meteor Launch: the victim is launched into the sky and comes down head-first, making a crater.

Installation
- Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge.
- Install it on both the server and every client.
- No dependencies: GeckoLib is already included.
Known limitations
- Slim (Alex) skins show arms 1 pixel wider.
- The void death happens below the world, so other players rarely see it.
- With the
doImmediateRespawngamerule on there is no respawn screen, so you respawn before the animation ends.
FAQ
Does it change gameplay? No. It's purely cosmetic: items drop and respawn work as usual. Can I use it in modpacks? Yes.
