Ever since Minecraft upgraded its death messages, haven't you always wanted to see the other side of the story, how it looks to the mobs? Well, now you can. This mod prints death messages to the console for EVERY living thing that dies. It kind of resembles the kill feed of fighting games like TF2 and League of Legends.

This mod also adds killing sprees for players and mobs, which display when someone gets lots of kills in a row. Trust me, it's pretty funny to watch.

Fun with Vanilla:

Even more fun with OreSpawn:

Notes

MDM only needs to be installed on the server, but if you want death messages in singleplayer, it works on the client too.

About Death Messages

By default, death messages will display for any mob that dies to a player, another mob, or an inanimate object. You can turn each of these categories on or off as you like in the config file. I'd imagine that they could also be useful for debugging mods with lots of entities, like OreSpawn and Mo' Creatures.

About Killing Sprees

Killing sprees will happen when any mob or player gets a certain number of kills in a row without dying, by default 8. There are four levels, similar to Awesomenauts: Killing Spree, Killing Machine, Legendary, and Awesome. Each level requires twice as many kills than the last one to reach, so Killing Machine would take 16 kills, etc. You also get experience for each level of spree. There are also dying sprees, which happen when a player dies many times in a row.

Currently, killing sprees of mobs reset when the server is restarted.

Mod Packs

This (tiny) mod is public-domain, so use it however you want!

Dependencies

MDM uses the open source library Evo Inflector to automatically make the names of mobs plural for killing sprees (e.g. "Creepers are on a Killing Spree!"). This is already bundled inside the mod file, you don't have to download it.
