Death Notifier
by erbs_
Death Notifier posts a message to a Discord channel through a webhook each time the player dies, naming the cause of death.
What it does
When the player dies, the mod sends a message to a Discord webhook. The message carries the exact death text from the game, so a channel can follow a session without anyone watching the screen. Causes are sorted into groups: a player kill shows the killer's name, a mob kill shows the mob name with a thumbnail, and a block or environmental death shows a block image.
Environmental deaths such as falls, void damage and starvation are recognized as their own category. The embed color changes with the kind of death, so events stand apart in a busy channel. The mod is set up with the deathnotifier setwebhook command and checked with deathnotifier test. Fabric API must be installed alongside it.
Death Notifier is published only for Fabric, for 1.21.4, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. It is client-side only, meaning the server does not need it and players install it on their own copy.

How it compares
Discord Chat Logger is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with Fabric files for 1.21 – 1.21.11, but it logs chat rather than deaths. Death Coordinates is server-side only, published under CC-BY-1.0 for 1.21 – 1.21.1, and reports where a death happened. Death Notifier stays on the client and covers only the cause of death.
