Player Death

This event triggers when a player dies. The event's location is the location of the player's death.

Action Values

• Player: The player who died.
• Entity: The player who died (can also be targeted as a generic entity).
• Killer: The entity (player or mob) that dealt the final blow. This value may not always be present (e.g., death by falling).

Event Configuration

• Cancel Event: If true, the player will not die. This is extremely useful for creating custom death mechanics, such as a "downed" state or simply negating death in certain areas.

Use Cases

• Creating a team deathmatch game where a team's score increases on a kill.
• Removing a "life" from a player's Lives property when they die.
• Announcing a player's death in chat.
