Introduction
Death Animations shows a custom animation when your character dies.
You can use it in two ways:
- Frames (PNG): you use already generated frames for consistent playback and easy adjustment.
- Direct Video: the mod automatically prepares cache and plays using time synchronization.
Everything works with local FFmpeg within your game installation, without configuring the system's PATH.
Quick start
- Install the mod (launcher or
modsfolder). - Open the game once and complete the initial setup of FFmpeg.
- Open the mod settings and select your media source.
Main Features
| Feature | What does it do |
|---|---|
| Frames Mode | Plays pre-generated PNG frames and can use meta.json with optional audio. |
| Live Video Mode | Generate and reuse cache in deathvideo/cache/, synchronizing by time (elapsedSeconds * fps_real). |
| FFmpeg automatic installer | Download and verify FFmpeg locally, without depending on the system's PATH (PATH: environment variable where the system searches for executables). |
| Preload upon entering the world | Prepare cache in the background to reduce jerks on death. |
| Green screen | Key Color: the color you want to crop (chroma key). Tolerance: how aggressive the clipping is around the key color. |
| Entry / Actions | It lets you choose whether to allow, block, or customize actions while the animation plays. |
| Server rules | Includes options for quick respawn and spectator behavior upon death. |
