Versioning

Current version: 26.2-1.0.0

• Minecraft version: 26.2
• DeathMessages release version: 1.0.0

Versions follow <minecraft-version>-<deathmessages-version>. The DeathMessages portion uses semantic versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH):

• MAJOR — incompatible or substantial architectural or behavioural changes
• MINOR — backwards-compatible new functionality
• PATCH — backwards-compatible bug fixes and minor corrections

A change to Minecraft compatibility changes the version prefix even when the DeathMessages functionality itself has not substantially changed.

Version 1.0.0 is the first stable, feature-complete release of the initial DeathMessages scope.

The current release persists one latest death per player in last-deaths.yml.

DeathMessages

DeathMessages privately tells a player where they died, including the dimension. It supports Paper 26.2 and dedicated Fabric 26.2 servers, requires Java 25, and is currently version 26.2-1.0.0.

Players receive an interactive message such as:

You died at 143, 67, -928 in the Overworld.

Clicking the coordinates copies 143 67 -928 (x y z) to the clipboard.

Commands

• /deathcoords version displays the installed DeathMessages version.
• /deathcoords last displays your persisted latest death coordinates and dimension, with the same clickable coordinates.

DeathMessages stores exactly one latest record per player UUID in last-deaths.yml. Records survive server restarts, and each new death replaces that player's previous record; death history is not retained.

Installation

• Paper: put deathcoords-paper-26.2-1.0.0.jar in the server's plugins directory.
• Fabric: install Fabric Loader and Fabric API on the server, then put deathcoords-fabric-26.2-1.0.0.jar in its mods directory. Connecting clients do not need DeathMessages installed.

Build both artifacts with Java 25 by running:

./gradlew clean build
