How to Add Custom Death Messages - Minecraft 1.20.4

[@samstrange7958]

I was with my head in my hands with the /reload problem. I would have probably resorted to restarting eventually but I was stubbornly trying to find formatting issues for a while lmao. Thanks for this!

7:51 *THANK YOU!* I had been working on this for ages after trying to get this working from the wiki and not finding anything.

Dude. I have been wanting to make custom damage types for ages but I could never get it to work! You helped me out so much man! Thank youuu! Wanna see what I made with your tutorial?

[@conure512]

That's great! And sure I'd love to :)

[@l9m241]

I remember messing around with modding minecraft, and was wanting to add a custom damage type to a liquid. I decided to check how damage sources worked and it's similar to what you've shown. And funny enough, when I did this for my little mod. The next week Mojang added the damage command to the next minecraft version and I was chuckling since the process was the exact same. Even down to the language file.

This could lead to some chaos on hermitcraft

Or anywhere.

We can finally die from dysentery in Minecraft!

[@berkle]

That's been in the game!

[@RavenRavel]

How does one...? I'm sure there's a mod for that.

[@conure512]

No water = heatstroke, unclean water = dysentery... *evil laughter*

[@Painstillplays]

This is gonna be fun to mess with 🤣

[@conure512]

This will be put to use on Eons soon and I guarantee people will hate me for it

@@conure512I will love you for it XD

[@themissinglink2481]

@@conure512 Could you also make custom mobs using the current existing mobs and have attribute scale and any other attributes and custom resoursepack and sounds for those mobs?

[@themissinglink2481]

@@conure512 And maybe custom food, plants and crops using the current items but have custom textures and saturation levels if its possible?

[@Run2Seeun]

After testing, I can say that death message translation doesn't have to be in the "minecraft" namespace. As long as the translation key is correct, the death message will work in any language file.

I'm currently making a fantasy rp server, you sir are being added to the spawns wall of credits. Thank you

What I want to know is how to make that lil black hole particle thing with the end chest particle but on bedrock edition

[@As1anCr4ck3r]

How can I edit existing death messages? Im making a splatoon datapack thing and I want to replace the player attack (swords, bows,etc) with "%1$s was Splatted using (Insert Pre-Written weapon name)". Like say a person used a sword it would say "%1$s was Splatted using Splat-Roller" and if a player died from a bow shot it would be "%1$s was Splatted using Splat-Charger". How would it be formatted in the resource pack? Edit: Is it also possible to add color to the text in the death message?

[@K1d3r1]

can you make it that it executes /damage command using /execute as @a at @s?

[@Tamrak_]

Just followed your setup and i'm taking heaps of knockback when using the custom damage type, any idea why?

[@FimeArt]

hello! it would be interesting to know how to add a custom merchant to the village to the datapack and add datapack items to his trades

[@conure512]

That's a great idea! I'll add it to my list of video topics :) (It's actually a bit complicated and typing it out in a comment wouldn't be super clear imo)

[@berkle]

I found this helpful!

[@PrimevalPotato]

Isn’t when an object enters the gravitational pull of a black hole, it’s spaghettified before being folded?

[@conure512]

Yes, but if it's small enough and you approach it with your torso first (like I did in this video), the spaghettification will stretch your torso away from your head and feet, which has the effect of folding you backward :)

Hi can you tell me how to make custom drop from a spider that is tagged as for example BossSpider? I want to make common spiders have standard drop but the one that is tagged as a BossSpider should drop an golden apple

[@conure512]

Sure! Create a custom loot table containing the golden apple, and then summon the spider with {DeathLootTable:"your_loot_table_name_here"}.

[@guc1o149]

That exactly how I did that, but thanks for responding@@conure512

[@KittenKatja]

The placeholders %1$s and %2$s are useless. They can be shortened to %s, because they specify the position in the "with" array and only get used, when the values get put in another order. Something like this [{"text":"","color":"light_purple"},{"text":"X","obfuscate":true},{"text":" God Weapon "},{"text":"X","obfuscated":true}] Is shortened to {"translate":"%1$s God Weapon %1$s","color":"light_purple","with":[{"text":"X","obfuscated":true}]}

[@conure512]

Sure, but if you get in the habit of using the %1$s format, you can more easily switch their order around if you want to! Also, this is the way vanilla does it (I checked the default resource pack files), and I tend to stick to convention whenever I can :)

[@KittenKatja]

@@conure512 %1$s is used 95 times, while %s is used 815 times. The amount of times the order was different: 1, in "translation test complex" I believe these placeholders are included to the death messages to make those that translate Minecraft into other languages to have an easier way to understand how to change the order.

[@conure512]

@@KittenKatja Ah interesting! Yeah that's a good point with translation, I suppose it would especially be helpful in languages that have a significantly different grammar structure.

i doesnt work

[@EvsGamer]

im aware your title says 1.20.4, but is this just limited to 1.20.4 or can i do this in let's just say 1.20.1?

[@conure512]

I'm not aware of any differences in earlier versions, as I first discovered this in 1.20.4 - I say just give it a try and see if it works!

[@EvsGamer]

@@conure512 i asked this because i couldn't get it working. turns out, i was just using the /damage command the wrong way sorta. thanks man!
