Instant Death

[v2.0.0] – 2025-08-02

A major rewrite and feature-rich update to the original InstantDeath plugin. This version improves customization, configuration, permission handling, and gameplay integration.

✨ New Features

• Config File Support
  Added config.yml for customizable messages and toggles.

• Permission Toggle for Self-Kill
  Added config option self-kill-requires-permission: true/false.

• Death Coordinates for Self-Kill
  Displays death location when a player kills themselves.

• Vanilla Death Mechanics for PvP
  Kills executed by other players now use damage(Float.MAX_VALUE, killer) instead of setHealth(0.0) to allow:

  • Natural death messages
  • Death event handling
  • Item drops and advancements

• Optional Death Location Reminder on PvP Death
  When enabled (show-death-location-on-kill: true), players see their death coordinates after being killed by someone else.

• Full Command Console Support
  Console can use /kill <player> and receive proper feedback.

• Message Formatting & Placeholder Support All messages now support placeholders like:

  • %x%, %y%, %z%
  • %target%, %killer%
  • %label% (for usage hints)

🔧 Improvements

• Code is now more modular and readable.
• Messages are translatable and configurable via YAML.
• Clean separation between console and player command handling.

🧹 Removed / Deprecated

• ❌ Hardcoded messages.
• ❌ Redundant coordinate formatting method.
• ❌ Manual "You killed X!" message — replaced by better vanilla and configurable messages.
• ❌ killed-by-other message removed (now handled by vanilla Minecraft).
• ❌ Use of minecraft.command.kill — now uses custom instantdeath.kill.* permission nodes.
