Stan's deathshot
by Staninna
When a player dies, Stan's deathshot saves a screenshot of the final moment, along with the coordinates of the spot where it happened.
What it does
Stan's deathshot takes a screenshot at the moment of death and writes the exact coordinates of that position into the file name, with the date and time. Screenshots go into a dedicated death-shots folder inside the game directory, which keeps them apart from ordinary captures and lets players find them later. After the capture, a clickable message in the chat opens the image directly.
The mod needs Fabric API to run. Its environment is client-side only, so only the player's installation needs it, and servers can run without it while the player still gets the captures on their own machine. The code is not open source, and the project is released under All rights reserved, with public links to its source code. The mod is published for Fabric alone and targets Minecraft 1.21.4, with version 1.0.0 as the only file, dated 2024-12-17.
Key features
Automatic death capture
Each death produces a screenshot without any key press, so the final moment is kept even when the player does not expect it.
Coordinates in file names
Screenshots are named with the date, the time and the coordinates where the player died, which helps with finding a spot later.
Clickable chat link
A chat message after the death includes a link that opens the saved screenshot.
Dedicated folder
All death captures go into a death-shots folder, separate from the normal screenshots folder.

Use cases
Reviewing a risky route
A player who keeps dying in the same place can compare the saved coordinates and images to see what went wrong.
Recording a challenge run
Captures from each death give a record of where a run ended, for players who document their play.
Who it’s for: The mod suits solo players and anyone who wants a record of their deaths on their own client. Because it is client-side only, it does not need to be installed on a server.
How it compares
Death Coordinates is server-side only, released under the CC-BY-1.0 license and not open source, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.1, so it records positions on the server rather than taking screenshots. Death Coord is client required with an optional server side, under the MIT License, and covers 1.21 – 1.21.8. SmartShot is client-side only under the MIT License for 1.21.1, and Better Screenshots is client-side only under All rights reserved for 1.21.11.
