Death Respawn Notifier

Death Respawn Notifier adds server-side death coordinates, respawn notifications, personal death-screen details, and live Tab list dead markers.

• Know where you died — optional dimension and coordinates right in the death message.
• Hear when players return — an optional respawn broadcast for the whole server.
• See who is still down — a dead-player marker in the vanilla Tab list.
• Personal touches — your own death screen details and a respawn action bar reminder.
• Server-first — the core features run on the server; clients are optional.

Features

Death messages that help you recover

Server death messages can include the dimension and coordinates where a player died. Keep the detail on when your group wants easier recovery, or turn it off for vanilla-style death messages.

A simple heads-up when players respawn

Respawn broadcasts let everyone know a player is back. Dimension and coordinate details are optional, so the message can stay short or add context for coordinated play.

Personal death screen details

Install the mod on your client to see death dimension and coordinate details on the death screen. This feature is client-only and does not come from Server Config.

An optional respawn reminder

Turn on a short action bar alert after respawning — a quiet reminder of where you came back without adding another chat message. The server can show it to every player by default, and modded clients can turn inheritance off when they want a different local setting.

Dead markers in the Tab list

When the server enables Tab list dead markers, everyone can see who is still dead in the vanilla Tab list — no client install required.

Settings when you want them

With Mod Menu, adjust your local death screen details and leave the respawn action bar inheriting from Server Config by default, or turn inheritance off for your own local setting. In singleplayer, or on a server where you have operator permission, Server Config also exposes the global death, respawn, action bar, and Tab list features.

Quickstart

1. Install Fabric Loader and Fabric API on your server.
2. Drop Death Respawn Notifier into the server's mods/ folder and start it. Death-location messages, respawn broadcasts, respawn action bar reminders, and Tab list dead markers work for everyone immediately.
3. Want death screen details or your own respawn action bar setting? Add the mod (and Mod Menu) on your client.
4. Tune server features or local client-only settings later in Mod Menu — Server Config needs operator permission — or in the config file below.

Compatibility

Death Respawn Notifier is server-first. Here is where each piece runs and what it needs.

• Dedicated server (required): death messages with dimension and coordinate details, respawn broadcasts, respawn action bar reminders, and Tab list dead markers.
• Client (optional): death screen details, respawn action bar overrides, Client Config, Mod Menu settings, and singleplayer.
• Required dependency: Fabric API, wherever the mod is installed.
• Optional dependency: Mod Menu on clients for Client Config and permission-gated Server Config.

Make it yours

Death Respawn Notifier keeps client-only settings separate from server-owned features.

• Client settings control your local death screen details and optional respawn action bar settings on this computer after you turn inheritance off.
• Server settings control death messages, respawn messages, respawn action bar reminders, and Tab list dead markers.
• Each scope has its own master toggle, so either side can stay on or off.
• In singleplayer, Server Config edits the server settings in the local file. On remote servers, Server Config is editable only with operator permission.

Config file

After first launch, edit config/death-respawn-notifier.json. File edits need a game or server restart; Mod Menu changes apply immediately where editable.
