Description
Description
Make each death feel like part of your Tensura story. Tensura: Deaths draws ten themed animations over the world, from shattered glass and drifting magicules to Predator and Infinite Prison. After you choose Respawn, the effect transitions back into the world as it loads.
- Ten distinct animations: Choose a favorite, cycle through the general purpose styles or let the mod choose a random general purpose style without repeating it immediately.
- Match the cause: Falls, explosions, drowning and fire can automatically select their corresponding effects. Cause matching can be turned off in the client configuration.
- Preview without dying: Use
/tensuradeaths previewto try an animation over your current view. The preview's Next button cycles styles, Respawn previews the return transition and Escape closes the preview. - Keep familiar death controls: Minecraft's death screen actions, button delay and hardcore choices remain available within the themed presentation.
- Respect reduced motion: Effects follow the reduced motion setting supplied by Tensura Main Menu.
- Choose Minecraft's presentation: The configuration also includes a Minecraft death screen option.
