deathwatch

deathwatch lets you track player deaths on your server.

Make sure you never miss things like "[USERNAME] was pricked to death by a cactus."

Death information is stored in the "JSON Lines" format. Each day gets its own file, named like deathwatch/YYYY/MM/DD.jsonl (e.g. deathwatch/2026/03/14.jsonl).

The format of each entry is documented on GitHub.

When combined with deathwatch-viewer, you can get a website showing a log of player deaths on your server:
