Death Counter
by AntrolGaming
Death Counter keeps a tally of how many times each player has died and can announce the count in chat, the action bar or the player list.
What it does
The count increases automatically each time a player dies, and the number is stored for every player on the server. Death messages can be shown as a chat title, an action bar text or a line in the player list below each name, so others see the total without opening a menu. A configurable death text and a lightning strike can also mark the moment a player dies.
The mod suits survival servers that want a visible record of deaths, and it can be combined with an in-game HUD overlay for showing the count to the player who died. Players who want a physical reminder can use the Death Note item, which the mod adds to the game.
It runs on the server alone, so players need nothing extra to join. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.19.4 – 1.21.8 across seven release versions. The latest Forge file is 3.0 for 1.20.1, and the latest NeoForge file is 3.0 for 1.21.8, both dated 2026-02-01. The license is custom and the mod is not open source.
