Mob Death Messages

Have you ever wondered what death looks like from the perspective of mobs in Minecraft? This mod allows you to see the other side of the screen by displaying death messages in the console for EVERY living entity that dies in the game. The system resembles the kill feed from popular fighting games and shooters like TF2 or League of Legends.

Killing Spree System

A unique feature of the mod is the killing spree system. When a player or mob makes multiple kills in a row without dying themselves, the system marks this with special messages. By default, the threshold is 8 consecutive kills. There are four spree levels similar to the system in Awesomenauts: Killing Spree, Killing Machine, Legendary, and Awesome. Each subsequent level requires twice as many kills - achieving "Killing Machine" requires 16 kills and so on. For each spree level you gain experience.

There are also losing sprees - when a player dies multiple times in a row.

Technical Features

Regarding installation, MDM needs to be installed only on the server, but to get death messages in singleplayer it also works on the client.

By default, death messages are displayed for any entities killed by a player, another entity, or a static object. Each of these categories can be enabled or disabled through the configuration file. This feature can be useful for debugging mods with large numbers of entities, such as OreSpawn or Mo' Creatures.

Currently, killing sprees of mobs reset when the server is restarted.

Compatibility

This small modification is in the public domain, so you can use it however you want!

The mod uses the open source library Evo Inflector to automatically pluralize creature names for killing spree messages (for example, "Creepers are on a Killing Spree!"). The library is already built into the mod file and doesn't require separate downloading.
