Managing Single-Session Death Tracking and Text File Exports

Depending on how you run your server, you may only care about deaths during tonight's event, or you may want an external record of everyone's total deaths over time. Death Counter Mod supports both single-session saving and exporting death counts to a text file.

Running Single-Session Death Tracking

Single-session tracking is ideal for one-off group events, boss rushes, or casual game nights where old deaths from previous days should not carry over. During the active session, every player's deaths are counted as usual:

  • Players see their updated session total and rank on the death screen whenever they die.
  • Anyone can type !dc in chat to check the current leaderboard, and operators can broadcast it with /dc leaderboard all before wrapping up the event.

Exporting Death Counts to a Text File

If you want to keep permanent records, share rankings outside Minecraft, or archive stats before running /dc reset all, use the mod's text file export feature:

1. Open the mod's configuration settings on your server and check whether death counts are set to save for a single session or export to a text file.

2. Enable the text file export option for your server setup.

3. Locate the exported text file in your server folders and open it with any plain text editor to read or copy the saved player death totals.
