Death Log
by Er_Mu1
Death Log keeps a record of every death each player suffers on a Fabric server, with the real date and time, the in-game day, the dimension, the coordinates and the cause.
What it does
Each time a player dies, the mod writes an entry to that player's own history. The entry holds the real-world date and time, the in-game day, the dimension, the coordinates and the cause of death. Entries accumulate, so the history of a player's deaths can be looked through over time.
The history is kept in per-player JSON files, which means the record survives server restarts. The mod works on a single-player world as well as on a multiplayer server, since the server side is where it runs. It requires Fabric API to be installed alongside it.
The history can be checked in-game with the deathhistory command, which shows a player's past deaths without any need to open the files by hand.
Key features
Per-player death history
Each player has a separate list of deaths, so records for one player do not mix with those of another.
Date, time and in-game day
Every entry stores the real-world date and time together with the in-game day the death happened.
Location and cause
Each death records the dimension, the coordinates and the cause of death.
Persistent storage
Death data is written to JSON files, so the history is still there after the server restarts.
