How to Display and Broadcast the Server Death Leaderboard
While regular players can check their own chat feed with !dc, server operators have dedicated commands to inspect the death leaderboard or push it directly onto other players' screens during group events, boss fights, or survival challenges.
Showing the Leaderboard to Yourself or One Player
Make sure your account has operator (op) permissions on the server before running slash commands. Open the command bar by pressing / and choose who should receive the standings:
- For yourself only: Run
/dc leaderboardwith nothing after it. Leave the target blank to print the current server-wide death rankings solely in your own chat. - For one specific player: Run
/dc leaderboardfollowed by a space and that player's exact username. This sends the leaderboard directly to them without cluttering chat for the rest of the server.
Broadcasting Standings to the Entire Server
When you want everyone online to see who currently holds the top spot for the most deaths, broadcast the list globally:
1. Open chat and type /dc leaderboard all.
2. Press Enter to execute the command.
Every connected player will immediately see the server-wide leaderboard in chat. This is handy at the end of a dungeon raid, Nether expedition, or PvP match when you want to compare total deaths together without waiting for each person to type !dc individually.
