IStar's Death Logger

💀 Death Logger

Never lose track of your items again.

Death Logger is a lightweight, server-side utility mod designed for Fabric 1.21.10. It creates detailed records of player deaths and actively monitors dropped items, alerting players before their items despawn.

Perfect for SMPs and admin monitoring, no client installation required!

✨ Key Features

• 📜 Comprehensive Death Logs

  • Automatically generates a JSON file for every death.
  • Records Timestamp, Coordinates (X, Y, Z), Dimension, and a full Inventory List.
  • Files are organized neatly by player name (death_logs/PlayerName/).

• ⏳ Active Despawn Tracking

  • The mod "tags" items dropped on death and tracks their age.
  • Chat Alerts: Players receive warnings every minute as their items approach the despawn limit.
  • Final Countdown: An urgent countdown (10s, 5, 4, 3...) appears in chat right before items vanish.

• 🔍 Interactive Tooltips

  • Hover over the chat warning message to see exactly which items are in that specific pile without needing to open the log files.

• 🗑️ Despawn Records

  • If items remain on the ground until they despawn, the mod logs the event in despawns.json, proving exactly when and where the items were lost.
