Troubleshooting Missing Death Counts or the Tab Player List
If pressing Tab does not bring up the player list or you cannot find a death number on screen, the issue usually comes down to the type of world you are playing in or your control settings.
Confirm You Are Playing on a Server
Death Count Mod places its counter inside the server player list, and vanilla Minecraft does not open the Tab player list in offline singleplayer worlds.
1. Verify that you are connected to a multiplayer server rather than playing in a singleplayer world.
2. When playing offline in singleplayer, check your personal total through the vanilla menu instead by pressing Esc, clicking Statistics, and locating Number of Deaths under the General tab.
3. Join a server where the mod is active and hold Tab to see the small number beside each player's ping.
Check Your List Players Keybind
If nothing opens when you hold Tab on a multiplayer server, your keybind may have been changed:
1. Press Esc and open Options, then Controls, then Key Binds.
2. Scroll down to the Multiplayer category and find List Players.
3. Reset List Players to Tab (or hold whichever custom key is bound there) to bring back the player list and death counts.
