Death messages

Use a radius to keep real death messages near the scene, or send a fake death message without killing anyone.

Radius (/deathmsgradius)

/deathmsgradius <radius>

Only players within that many blocks see the message. 0 removes the distance limit within that world. The radius is saved, so it stays set after a restart.

Fake death messages (/fakedeath) (Premium)

/fakedeath <victim> <killer>

Aliases /deathmsg, /deathmessage. Broadcasts a death that never happened. Nobody dies.

Turning real ones off

death:
  messages:
    enabled: false

This disables the real player death-message feature. A radius of 0 doesn't turn messages off. NPC messages and other plugins can have their own handling.

NPC death messages

NPCs get the same messages real players do, in each player's own language. See NPC defaults.
