About this project

What does Death Lightning add?

Death Lightning (Visual Only)

Adds a lightning-themed visual and sound effect when a player dies, played at the death location.

No fire, explosions, or damage are produced, and no gameplay mechanics are altered.

This datapack can be used on SMPs to provide a visible and audible indication when a player death occurs nearby.

Tested in singleplayer on Minecraft Java 1.21.11 and 26.2.
Expected to function on other 1.21.x and 26.x versions and in multiplayer, but these have not been explicitly tested.
