ALL Death Messages

Death messages are grouped into categories. Built-in categories are based on mob properties, while custom categories are based on entity types listed in the config file. A mob can belong to several categories at once. A message is shown when the person who died is covered by an active death rule, or when the mob that struck the final blow is covered by an active kill rule. Each category is tied to its own death and kill gamerule, and the gamerules are generated automatically.

Styling is handled through a JSON config, with rules that work much like CSS stylesheets except the order is reversed. Mob names and death messages can be given different colours and formatting, and when several styles match a mob, the topmost style takes priority. A wolf given a name receives both styles. Messages still broadcast to players regardless of ownership, and a config screen covers the main options. The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.19.4 – 26.3, and requires Fabric API.
