Introduction

TACZDeathMessageMod is a Minecraft Forge-based mod designed to provide a highly customizable kill message system for servers or single-player games. This mod allows players to customize kill messages in different scenarios and supports world-specific independent configurations.

Note:
This mod is specifically designed for servers and may not work, or even cause crashes, on the client side!

The purpose of this Mod development is to fix these problems because the hybrid server is modified based on the Bukkit server, resulting in the TACZ Mod’s built-in kill prompt not taking effect.

Features

• Customizable Kill Messages: Supports custom kill messages for players, animals, and mobs, including normal and headshot kills.

• World-Specific Configuration: Configure independent kill messages and enable/disable options for different worlds (dimensions).

• Command Trigger: Execute custom commands (e.g., broadcasting, rewards) after a kill.

• Dependency Integration: Seamless compatibility with the Timeless and Classics: Zero mod [This mod requires TACZ MOD to function properly].

Installation Requirements

• Minecraft Version: 1.20.1

• Forge Version: 47.3.22 or higher

• Required Dependency: Timeless and Classics: Zero (Version 1.1.4)

• Java Version: JDK 17
