## Overview

DeathPlus is a modern death-experience overhaul plugin for Paper / Spigot servers that combines two major systems into one polished package:

• DeathMessages — A configurable death message engine for PvP, mobs, projectiles, explosions, environmental kills, custom weapons, and more.
• DeathSpectate — An advanced cinematic post-death smart camera system that turns every death into a short immersive kill-cam sequence.

This is not just another death message plugin, and it is not just another simple respawn delay plugin.

DeathPlus is built to make death feel dramatic, informative, cinematic, and server-specific.

• Smart Kill-Cams — DeathSpectate considers the death location, killer position, corpse location, death type, interior or exterior space, roof coverage, walls, underground areas, confined spaces, and clipping safety.
• Death Profiles — PvP melee, PvP projectile, mob melee, mob projectile, fall deaths, explosions, drowning, void deaths, and default deaths can all use different title pools and camera sequences.
• In-Game Editors — Admins can tune the system with GUIs and editors instead of doing everything manually in YAML.
• Clean Overrides — Base config files stay readable while in-game changes are saved into separate override files.
• Combat Support — Optional integrations support custom gun systems, vehicle systems, and corpse plugins.

## Features

### DeathMessages

DeathMessages replaces or augments vanilla death messages with a configurable system that supports:

• Player vs player deaths
• Player vs mob deaths
• Environmental deaths
• Projectile-specific wording
• Weapon display names
• Custom weapon integrations
• Vehicle run-over attribution
• Location, world, and biome placeholders
• Distance placeholders
• Named mob handling
• Last-attacker attribution for falls, lava, drowning, and other follow-up deaths

This lets you build death messages that match your server instead of relying on flat vanilla text.

### DeathSpectate

DeathSpectate is the cinematic side of DeathPlus.

When a player dies, DeathPlus can move them into a short spectator-based kill-cam sequence before respawn completes.

The camera system analyzes the scene and adapts based on:

• Exact death location
• Killer location
• Corpse location, when available
• Indoor or outdoor location
• Underground or confined spaces
• Roof coverage and camera clearance
• Line-of-sight and wall clipping safety
• Cause of death
• Profile type

Examples include:

• Killer-focused orbit shots
• Side-pan kill-cam shots
• Corpse-focused transition shots
• Indoor corpse panning
• Overview orbits
• Hold stages for dramatic pauses

DeathSpectate also includes smoothing and clipping resolution logic so the camera is much less likely to end up inside walls or blocked by terrain.

### Editors

DeathPlus includes multiple in-game tools for admins:

• Main DeathPlus GUI
• DeathMessages GUI
• DeathSpectate GUI
• Animation Editor
• UI Message Editor
• Preview tools for testing spectate paths

These tools make it practical for real servers where admins need to adjust the experience quickly.

## Companions

### Dead Body !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/b43d6356ab23aceaeebb5d0885b8d726887ef758_0.webp)

DeathPlus does not create corpses by itself.

Instead, it includes an optional corpse-focus integration layer so it can collaborate with dedicated corpse plugins.

Recommended companion plugin:

When used together:

• Dead Body handles the physical corpse and lootable body side of the death experience.
• DeathPlus handles cinematic spectating, death messaging, kill-cam flow, and post-death presentation.

DeathPlus includes optional corpse locator logic with support for automatic corpse detection, scoreboard tag detection, and persistent data key detection.

In short: Dead Body gives you the body, and DeathPlus turns that body into part of a cinematic death scene.
