deathwatch
by duckinator
Deathwatch logs every player death on a server, so operators can trace what was lost and where it happened.
What it does
Deathwatch records death information for players on a NeoForge 1.21.1 server, which helps staff keep track of losses such as items lost to a pricked death cactus. Entries are stored in the JSON Lines format, with one file per day named by year, month and day, for example deathwatch/2026/05/14.jsonl. The entry format is documented on GitHub. The mod is licensed under the MIT License and is open source, with a public source code repository and issue tracker.
