Death Respawn Notifier

Death Respawn Notifier helps your whole server bounce back from every death.

• 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. These are your settings and do not change Server Config behavior.

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.

Dead markers in the Tab list

When the server enables Tab list dead markers, players with the mod can see who is still dead, right in the vanilla Tab list.

Settings when you want them

With Mod Menu, adjust your death screen details and respawn action bar alert. In singleplayer, or on a server where you have operator permission, Server Config also exposes the global death and respawn 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, and Tab list dead markers work for everyone immediately.
3. Want personal death screen details and respawn reminders? Add the mod (and Mod Menu) on your client.
4. Tune everything 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, and Tab list dead markers.
• Client (optional): personal death screen details, respawn action bar alerts, 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 settings separate from server settings.

• Client settings control your death screen details and the respawn action bar on this computer.
• Server settings control death messages, respawn messages, 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.
