KoHs Death Effects
by zymery_dria
With KoHs Death Effects, the way a player dies in Minecraft is replaced by animated death effects that can be configured.
What it does
Each death plays one of a set of animated effects, chosen from a list the player can tune. The effects include ragdolls, angels, hellfire, a reaper weapon, shatter, dust and firework scenes, and about 20 special fatalities that are built as full 3D animations. A player can preview their own skin in the effect, and a playable sandbox called Soul Vault lets them try effects without dying.
The mod is a client-side Fabric mod, so only the player's game needs it and a server does not. It requires Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional for its settings screen. Files are published for Fabric across six release versions, 1.21.11 – 26.3, under All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source. Its content includes blood and gore, which the description notes up front.
Key features
Configurable death scenes
Players pick which death effects appear and can tune them, so the same death does not always play the same scene.
Special fatalities
Around 20 special fatalities are tied to items and conditions, including executioner, sandworm and time stop scenes.
Soul Vault sandbox
A playable sandbox lets players test effects and preview their own skin before a real death.
Ragdolls and gore
Death scenes include ragdoll bodies, dismemberment and blood, and a quiet silhouette option shows a plainer scene.
Effect catalogue
A catalogue lists the death sounds and effects, each with a play button to hear or view it before choosing.

Use cases
Single-player death scenes
A player who wants varied deaths in their own world can set the effects they like and leave the rest off.
Testing effects
Players can use the Soul Vault sandbox to see how an effect looks before it plays on a real death.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want changed death scenes in single-player or on a client. Because it is client-side, the server does not need it and players on any server can use it alone.

What the author says
KoHs Death Effects replaces the way players die in Minecraft with animated, configurable effects, from a quiet silhouette to a full fatality. It is a client-side Fabric mod: you install it in your own game and no server needs it. Morph is being rebuilt and is switched off for now.
