Custom Death Msg Config

Source file:

modules/announce/Custom Death Msg/config.yml

The Custom Death Msg module controls where custom death messages are active and how FioChat behaves around vanilla and third-party death output.

The module is controlled by modules.death-message in modules/settings.yml. The current default is true.

The actual death-line templates are stored separately in:

modules/announce/Custom Death Msg/custom-death-messages.yml
modules/announce/Custom Death Msg/mobs_en.json
modules/announce/Custom Death Msg/items_en.json

modules.death-message​

modules:
  death-message: true

This is the master toggle for the module. The current default is true.

When disabled, FioChat does not rewrite custom death chat announcements.

settings.debug-log​

settings:
  debug-log: false

settings.debug-log controls module debug logging. The current value is false.

settings.only-if-vanilla-visible​

settings:
  only-if-vanilla-visible: true

This controls whether FioChat only reacts when the source death was already visible to vanilla.

The current default is true.

settings.suppress-when-formatted-empty​

settings:
  suppress-when-formatted-empty: false

This controls whether the broadcast is cancelled when the final formatted line is empty.

The current default is false.

settings.default-notifications-enabled​

settings:
  default-notifications-enabled: true

This controls the default per-player toggle state for death notifications.

The current default is true.

settings.world-whitelist and settings.world-blacklist​

settings:
  world-whitelist: []
  world-blacklist: []

These filters control which worlds can run custom death messages.

settings.region-whitelist and settings.region-blacklist​

settings:
  region-whitelist: []
  region-blacklist: []

These filters control which WorldGuard regions can run custom death messages.

compatibility.respect-main-config​

compatibility:
  respect-main-config: true

This is the main compatibility toggle for the module's defer behavior.

compatibility.defer-to-mythicmobs​

compatibility:
  defer-to-mythicmobs: true

This tells FioChat to defer to MythicMobs-related handling when that plugin is producing the death output.

compatibility.defer-to-third-party-player-death​

compatibility:
  defer-to-third-party-player-death: false

This controls whether FioChat skips its own player death formatting when the source death message contains a configured signature token.

compatibility.third-party-message-signatures​

compatibility:
  third-party-message-signatures:
    - "MythicMobs"

These are the signature tokens used when matching third-party death messages.

Legacy Path Note​

The active config path for this build is:

modules/announce/Custom Death Msg/config.yml

The plugin still knows the older legacy paths:

modules/announce/death-messages/config.yml
modules/death-message/config.yml

This page follows the current announce-module path and the current custom death-message layout used by the build.
