About this Mod
PlayerDeathPlus
A simple server-side Minecraft mod that adds configurable happenings related to player death.
Features
The mod offers a few server-side configuration options on how to handle players deaths.
- Ban: Bans the player upon death. This ban can be permanent or for a specified number of hours.
- Head-Ban: The same as Ban, but the player killer receives the player's head upon death. If there is no killer, the head drops alongside the player's items. Right-clicking this head unbans the player.
- Spectator: Sets the player's gamemode to spectator upon death.
- None - This has no effect on the player's death. This is the default option.
For this mod to do anything, you MUST modify the server's configuration file for this mod!
