What it does

When a player dies, the mod summons a lightning strike at the death location. The strike shows lightning visuals and plays sounds, so nearby players can tell that a death happened. Fire explosions and damage from the strike are part of the visual effect, and gameplay mechanics are not altered. The mod is typically used on survival servers, where the effect gives players a visible and audible sign of a death nearby.

Installation is required on the server, while players may add it to the client. Death Lightning is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with a data pack option, for game versions 1.21 – 26.2. The author ran it in a local test world on the newest builds; other versions in the range were not checked with several players. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Lightning strike on death

    A lightning bolt is summoned at the location where the player dies, drawing attention to the spot.

  2. Visuals and sounds

    The strike comes with lightning visuals and sound effects, so the death is noticeable from a distance.

  3. No gameplay changes

    Fire and explosions from the strike are cosmetic, and the mod does not alter gameplay mechanics.

Questions

Does Death Lightning need to be on the client?

No. Only the server needs the mod for the effect to appear, and players can still join with or without it installed.
