DeathCounter Plus
DeathCounter Plus keeps a persistent count of player deaths and draws it on screen, so a player can check survival progress at a glance.
What it does
The counter records each death and stores the total across sessions. It appears as a small on-screen display that can be toggled off and back on at any time, which helps when taking screenshots. The display is intentionally plain and does not cover the play area, and the mod is described as lightweight.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Builds exist for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.4, with files for 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.4. The code is All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Persistent death count
The total number of deaths is kept between play sessions and shown as a running tally on screen.
Toggleable display
The counter can be hidden or shown again instantly, so it stays out of screenshots when needed.
Unobtrusive layout
The on-screen text is placed so it does not block the main view while playing.
Simple command control
A short command lets players manage the counter without editing any files.
