Death Sound Mod
This mod alters the visual and auditory behavior of death events in Minecraft, standardizing notifications under a highly visible format inspired by Hardcore mode mechanics. Now enhanced with global audio broadcasting and robust stability improvements.
Key Features
Global Audio Event
Unlike client-side only implementations, this version utilizes server-side event handling (LivingDeathEvent) to broadcast the amplified hardcore death sound to all connected players.
- Cross-Dimension: The sound is audible to everyone, regardless of whether they are in the Overworld, Nether, or End.
- Concurrent Safety: Optimized to handle player lists safely, preventing crashes even if players disconnect during the event.
Strict Chat Formatting
The mod intercepts the chat stream (ClientChatReceivedEvent) to enforce a dramatic aesthetic:
- Visuals: Forces all death messages to render in BOLD RED, flanked by skull symbols (☠).
- Enhanced Detection: Now includes a fallback mechanism to detect death messages by text content, ensuring compatibility with mods that do not use standard "death.*" translation keys.
- False Positive Protection: Intelligently filters out standard chat messages (e.g., player messages containing ":") to avoid incorrect formatting.
Graphical Interface Modification
Utilizing Safe Java Reflection, the mod accesses private variables within the DeathScreen class to inject the same red and bold formatting into the subtitle indicating the cause of death.
- Crash Protection: The reflection logic is wrapped in robust error handling to ensure the game never crashes due to UI modifications, even in modded environments.
Utility Commands
- /testsound: Audits the correct loading of the sound resource and its volume level for the executing player, without requiring an actual death event.
