Proximity Deathmessage
by Clasher_HD
Proximity Deathmessage limits death messages to players within a configurable chunk radius around the player who died.
What it does
Death messages are sent only to players whose position falls inside a chunk radius around the death location, instead of to the whole server. Deaths are announced only to players within a set number of chunks, which defaults to 12 in every direction and can be set in the config anywhere from 4 to 32. Only players in range see the message, so distant players are not notified of deaths they cannot reach.
Key features

Death messages reach only players inside the chunk radius around where the death happened.
Configurable radius
The chunk radius can be set in the config anywhere from 4 to 32, with 12 as the default.
Server-side operation
