DeathSpectator (Forge/Fabric/NeoForge)

The mod provides a customizable system that automatically switches players to spectator mode upon death. This is an ideal solution for hardcore series and events where resurrection after death is not allowed.

Key Features

Using the /deathspectator command, you can flexibly configure various system parameters - determine whether items will drop after death, whether death messages appear, and other important aspects of the mod's behavior.

Important: The mod only needs to be installed on the server side, but it also works in singleplayer when installed on the client.

Usage Example

A similar death system can be observed in various events from Eufonia Studio, including DEDSafio Minecraft and Squid Craft Games 2.

Demonstration from streamer elded during DEDSafio Minecraft 2 (without on-screen animations, sound effects, or automatic ban):

Configuration Settings

{
  "enabled": true,
  "deathMessage": true,
  "inventoryDrop": true,
  "consoleLogs": false,
  "uhcMode": false, # When die, a fence with the player's head appears
  "titleSubtitleEnabled": false,
  "title": "§cYou have died",
  "subtitle": "§7You are now in spectator mode",
  "fadeIn": 2,
  "duration": 4,
  "fadeOut": 2
}

Management Commands

• /deathspectator setconfig <property> <value> - sets true or false values for configuration file parameters

Note: Settings established in the configuration file on the client will apply to all singleplayer worlds.

Changes to the configuration file and using the command instantly update settings in the game. To track the loading and reloading process of configuration in the client or server console, set the consoleLogs parameter to true.

The mod's compatibility with other modifications affecting the player death system is unknown. To avoid conflicts, it's recommended to avoid using similar mods simultaneously.
