Invisible Death Messages
Invisible Death Messages hides the names of invisible players from death messages on Fabric and Forge servers, and leaves visible players unchanged.
What it does
When an invisible player is killed or dies, the death message uses a generic label in place of the invisible player's name. Death messages for visible players keep their normal names, and the original Minecraft wording is kept wherever possible. Both invisibility from the Bukkit entity flag and the Invisibility potion effect count as invisible.
The mod is aimed at servers that let players hide from others, where a death message would otherwise reveal who was involved. A simple config file controls the replacement text. Paper, Bukkit and Folia builds exist as well, for servers that do not run a mod loader.
Files are published for Fabric and Forge across 12 release versions, 1.21 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.1 for 1.21.11 as the latest file on both loaders. The project is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved, and public links exist for the source code and issue tracker.
Key features
Hidden invisible killers
When an invisible player is the killer, the death message shows a generic label instead of that player's name.
Hidden invisible victims
When an invisible player dies, the death message omits their name and uses the same generic label.
Unchanged visible players
Death messages involving only visible players are left as they are, with normal names.
Configurable replacement text
The label used in place of a hidden name is set in a simple config file, so server owners can change its wording.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who run invisibility mechanics and want death messages that do not reveal hidden players. Players on those servers only see the altered messages and need nothing extra installed.
How it compares
Death Screen Messages is client-side only, uses All rights reserved and is published for Fabric 1.21.11, so it changes how the client shows deaths rather than server messages. Visible Invisible is also client-side only and fabric-only for 1.21.11, but is open source under the MIT License. Just Chat Range is server-side only and not open source, released under All rights reserved for Fabric 1.21.11, and works on chat distance rather than death messages.
