Every death echoes.

The project

EchoingDeaths started from a simple server-nightmare: deaths are moments players gather around, but nothing ever happens. The plugin listens for player deaths, resolves the Bukkit damage cause, and presses a themed set of debuffs onto nearby players. lava deaths nauseate witnesses, void deaths blind them, the Warden's sonic boom leaves them in darkness. Everything is driven by a single config.yml, and any Bukkit DamageCause can be mapped.

Under the hood it is deliberately boring: pure Bukkit/Spigot API, no NMS, no reflection, no CraftBukkit internals, which keeps it stable across server updates. Current release: v0.1.0-alpha, built for Spigot / Paper / Purpur on Minecraft 1.21+.
