Description

el Flair of Death

Version 2.0 is out!

el Flair of Death adds a few extra effects to player deaths. When a player is killed by another player, flame, skull and blood particles burst around the death location, along with a sound effect.

Kills in a row also escalate the effect through three tiers: Normal, Streak, and Rampage. Get another kill within the timer window (1 minute by default) and the next death gets a stronger effect, with blue soul flames and skulls. Miss the window and it resets back to Normal. By default, the Streak effects require 2 kills and the Rampage effects - 5 kills. Both the timer and the kills threshold are configurable.

Optional buffs can also be given to the killer on each tier (Regeneration and Resistance by default, also fully configurable).

The idea is to give killing a player a bit more character and a little more flair.

Version 1.0 Video Showcase:

Installation & Configuration

Datapack installation
  1. Download the .zip file;

Singleplayer

  1. Open your world folder (edit world -> open world folder) and put the .zip file into its datapacks folder;
  2. Load the world. (If it is already open, run /reload)

Server

  1. Put the .zip into the datapacks folder inside your world folder (world/datapacks by default);
  2. Run /reload.

Commands

All commands require operator permissions. The easiest way to configure the pack is the in-game menu:

/function el_flair_of_death:core/config/_open_menu

Primary settings

Kill timer

Determines how much time you have after a kill to get another one before the tier resets.

To set in seconds:

/function el_flair_of_death:core/config/set_seconds {seconds:60}

To set in ticks:

/function el_flair_of_death:core/config/set_ticks {ticks:1200}

Setting it to 0 effectively disables Streak/Rampage - kills will never escalate past Normal.

Kill thresholds

Determines how many kills in a row are needed for the Streak and Rampage tiers.

/function el_flair_of_death:core/config/set_streak_threshold {kills:3}
/function el_flair_of_death:core/config/set_rampage_threshold {kills:5}

The Rampage threshold can never be set below the Streak threshold (and vice versa) - it's clamped automatically.

Global sound (toggle)

Toggles whether the kill sound effect plays for the whole server or only near the kill.

/function el_flair_of_death:core/config/set_global_sound {state:1}
Macro argument Description
state 1 or 0 (on or off)
seconds Kill timer in seconds
ticks Kill timer in ticks
kills Number of kills required to get the tier effects

Buffs

Buffs - ON by default, gives the killer Regeneration + Resistance (stronger per tier).

Fully customizable: any effect can be added to any tier, with its own amplifier and duration.

/function el_flair_of_death:buffs/config/set_buffs_enabled {state:1}

Unnstallation & Notes

Uninstallation

Do these steps in this order:

  1. Run /function el_flair_of_death:core/uninstall;
  2. Delete the .zip file from the datapacks folder.
Notes & troubleshooting
  • Effects and buffs only trigger when a player is killed by another player.
  • The kill timer only counts down while the player is online.
