Deathwatch is a small server side mod which records player deaths into a csv text file for later analysis. Originally this was created because players on my server were frequently coming up to me saying they needed help recovering their stuff from the death point but had no idea where they died.
Currently it stores the time and location of death, the name of the player, and the cause of death. If the cause was a creature or player, it will also store the name of the killer.
This mod can exist on both client and server side happily, but it only does things client side in the event of the client hosting it's own game (single player or open to lan)
The csv file is in your world folder and called deathwatch.csv
