MC Extremo DeathSound
by Tontoque28
MC Extremo DeathSound plays a custom sound effect whenever a player dies, and it changes how death messages appear in chat and on the death screen.
What it does
When a death is detected, the sound is broadcast to every player on the server, whether they are in the Overworld, the Nether or the End. Death messages are rendered in bold red with skull symbols, so they stand out in both the chat log and the main death screen. The alteration applies to the game's own text components, so the standard wording is replaced rather than reposted beside it.
Detection works from the text content of death messages as well as their translation keys, with a fallback path meant to keep the mod working alongside other mods that change death output. A filter removes ordinary chat lines, such as player messages that happen to contain death-related words, so false triggers are reduced. The mod is inspired by the visual and audible feedback of Hardcore mode, and it runs on a Forge server for Minecraft 1.20.1 alone.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Forge 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.2 as the latest file, released 2026-02-24. The code is not open source, and the mod is licensed under All rights reserved. Public source code links exist.

How it compares
Death Locator is a Fabric and Forge server mod for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, server-side only and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it locates deaths rather than announcing them. Death Sound Mod runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.7.3 – 26.3, is not open source under the MIT License, and needs the server with an optional client. Frequency Create differs in both scope and environment, as it is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 that both client and server must run, and it is open source under the MIT License.
