Death note
by rim4oo
Death Note brings a single-use book to servers, where holding it and right-clicking selects a random online player other than the user for a delayed death.
What it does
Holding the Death Note and using it with a right click picks a random online player, excluding the person who used the item, and marks that player for death after a delay of 30 seconds. The item disappears once it is activated, so each copy works one time. Both players show soul particles during the wait, and sound effects play when the activation starts.
The delayed kill cannot be prevented by armor or potion effects. The item can be obtained by dropping from Evokers, which have a 5% chance to add it to their standard drops. The mod is built for Forge and works on client and server, so the server and every player need it installed. Files cover six releases, 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, and the latest file is 1.0 for 1.20.6, published on 2025-04-13.
Key features
Random target selection
The chosen player is picked at random from those online, and the user can never select themselves.
Delayed death
The selected player dies 30 seconds after activation, leaving a short window during which the effect is visible.
Unpreventable effect
Armor and potion effects do not stop the kill, so the item works against defended players too.
Soul particle and sound effects
Soul particles surround both players and a soul escape sound plays on activation, marking the event in the world.
Evoker drops
Evokers can drop the Death Note at a 5% chance in addition to their standard loot.
