⬇ Download on ModrinthScreenDeath
Replaces Minecraft's plain death screen with a cinematic, fully customizable death sequence - a VHS/glitch and more scene with a random message, your own background, custom sounds, and a short immunity when you come back so you're not instantly killed on respawn.

Inspired by the mod created by Litewer: Epic Death Screen, adding various customizations and extras.
Everything is driven by a simple config file (no commands needed) so each player (or server) can shape the whole experience.
What you can customize?
6 built-in visual styles:
- VHS
- Glitch
- TV static
- Blood
- Broken Glass
- Void
- Each with its own background effect.
Random death texts: write your own list; a random one shows each death.
Custom background: drop a .png or animated .gif and use it as the scene.
Custom sounds: your own death and respawn sounds (.ogg), with volume, pitch and looping.
Respawn immunity: configurable seconds of invulnerability, with an on-screen glitch effect while it lasts.
Respawn mode: instant cinematic + auto-respawn, or keep the vanilla button and apply the effect when you respawn.
Multi-language support. Visuals are per-player (client); immunity is server-side.
