How to See Every Death Message in the Death Knell Mod

Triggering Messages Deliberately

Death Knell messages fire from specific death causes, so the fastest way to collect them is to recreate each cause on purpose in a test world with cheats enabled. Set /gamerule keepInventory true first so you do not lose your gear while experimenting. Then work through the obvious categories: drowning, falling, lava, fire, cactus, suffocation inside a block, starvation, void death, and being killed by each mob type you can spawn. Many messages are variations on vanilla causes, so dying the same way repeatedly can surface different lines.

Using the Killer Relationship

Several messages depend on *who* killed you, not just how. Have a second player (or a tamed wolf, or a named mob) land the killing blow and compare the output to dying to the same damage source alone. Messages that mention a killer by name only appear when another entity is credited with the kill, so solo deaths will never show them.

Reading the List Without Spoiling

If you only want to confirm you have not missed a category, check the mod's death message list on its wiki page rather than reading it start to finish. Treat it as a checklist of *situations* (water, cookies, mobs, environmental hazards) and go trigger those situations yourself. That preserves the surprise of the actual wording while still letting you hunt down the ones you have not seen.
