Plugin CustomDeathMessages (CDM)

CustomDeathMessages, customizable death messages

CustomDeathMessages, or CDM, is a Java plugin for Spigot and Paper that replaces standard Minecraft death notices with fully configurable messages. Administrators can tailor announcements for player combat, mobs, projectiles, falls, fire, drowning, the void, and other causes, while using placeholders for names, worlds, coordinates, entities, and weapons. Color support and multiple message options help create a distinctive server identity.

CDM also adds practical effects, including separate messages for the victim and killer, hover details, optional lightning, player head drops, cooldowns, global toggles, and Discord forwarding through supported integrations. Compatible from Minecraft 1.8 through 1.21, it suits survival, PvP, minigame, and network servers. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for communities wanting deaths to feel more informative and memorable.
