Death+
by SeaSharpy
Death+ is a Fabric server mod that adds death-related features, from item drops and bell sounds to AI-generated taunting chat messages.
What it does
When a player dies, the server can apply several effects. Items can drop as a single block so that stacks from different players do not mix near the place of death, and a bell sound can play server-wide. Taunting messages are sent to chat when a player dies, and their wording can be generated by AI through an OpenAI API key placed in a .env file and turned on with the useAiTaunts setting. Taunts can be disabled, and they can be set to address the player's name. A rate limit stops taunts after five deaths within one minute, pausing until five minutes have passed since the last death.
Server owners install it, and players connect with no copy of their own. Fabric API is required. Death+ is published for Fabric only, across six release versions 1.21.4 – 1.21.10, and the latest Fabric file is 1.1.4 for 1.21.10, dated 2025-11-15. The source code and issue tracker are public, but the mod is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Item drops in one block
Items dropped on death gather in a single block, which keeps players' belongings from mixing near the place of death.
Server-wide bell sound
A bell can ring across the whole server when a player dies, so everyone online hears the event.
AI taunting messages
Taunts sent to chat can be generated by AI once an OpenAI API key is set in a .env file and the useAiTaunts option is enabled.
Configurable taunts
Taunts can be turned off entirely, or set to include the dead player's name in the message.
Death rate limit
After five deaths within one minute, taunts pause until five minutes have passed since the latest death.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners running Fabric who want extra death effects, and players who run singleplayer worlds with the mod installed. Clients on a server need nothing extra.
How it compares
Give me back my XP! is also server-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it is built for 1.21.4 – 1.21.5 and targets experience rather than death events. Where Did I Die is client-side only, under the MIT License and not open source, and covers 1.21.10 – 1.21.11, so it runs on the player's side and does not change server behavior.
