DeathPlaceholder
by HyLegacy
DeathPlaceholder is a Fabric server utility that shows each player's death count on the player list scoreboard.
What it does
Each player's number of deaths appears in the scoreboard player list, updated as the game runs, so anyone on the server can see how often each player has died. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric only, for five game versions 1.20.2 – 1.20.6, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
