Death Count
by Searchies
Death Count keeps a tally of how often each player has died, using the game's own statistics, and shows it through a leaderboard command.
What it does
The mod reads the death statistic that Minecraft already records for every player and reports the totals on the server. Death Count is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Files are published for Fabric alone, with builds covering 1.21.1 – 1.21.11.
Key features
Death counter from statistics
Each player's death total is taken from the built-in statistics, so no separate save data is kept by the mod.
Adjustable operator level
The permission level needed for the commands defaults to the operator level, and server owners can change it in the config.
Leaderboard reload
A permission-gated command reloads the leaderboard so the counts shown on the server stay current.

How it compares
Death Count is server-side only, so clients never need it. DeathPlaceholder is also server-side only but is not open source and covers 1.20.2 – 1.20.6, while DeathHistoryNotes is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21.5 – 1.21.10.
