How to Enable and Filter Death Messages for Any Mob

If tracking players, pets, villagers, and named entities is not enough, you can configure the mod to report the death of any entity in the world and filter the results so your chat stays readable.

Turning On All-Entity Death Messages

By default, the option to announce every entity death is disabled so ordinary mob combat and sunlight burning do not flood your chat window. To activate it:

1. Open the mod's configuration settings.

2. Find the option that sends out a death message for any entity death and turn it on.

3. Save your changes so newly killed mobs begin reporting their exact death coordinates, dimension, and distance in chat.

Filtering Alerts with the Whitelist and Blacklist

The global entity death option comes paired with a whitelist and a blacklist in the configuration settings so you can control which mobs appear in chat:

  • Using the Whitelist: Add only the specific unnamed mob types you are actively hunting or protecting so every other creature stays silent when killed.
  • Using the Blacklist: Leave global entity death messages active, then add high-volume mobs—such as common hostile mobs or creatures inside mob grinders—to the blacklist to block spam while tracking everything else.
