How to Track Villager, Pet, and Named Mob Deaths

Keeping track of valuable passive mobs in large bases, farms, or trading halls is much easier when the game announces exactly where and when they die.

Monitoring Villagers and Named Entities

By default, the mod displays a death message in chat whenever any villager or named entity dies. Villagers are tracked automatically with no setup required. To track specific livestock, golems, or rare mobs, apply a Name Tag to them using an Anvil.

Whenever a villager or named mob dies, press T to inspect the chat notification. Just like player deaths, the message displays the exact coordinates, the dimension, and your current distance from the death point. You can head straight to those coordinates to patch zombie breaches, fix suffocation hazards, or secure the area before losing more mobs.

Toggling Player and Pet Death Messages

Standard Minecraft already sends chat messages whenever players or tamed pets die. If a busy multiplayer server produces too many alerts—or if you want a quieter chat window while still monitoring villagers—open the mod's configuration settings. Inside the settings, you can separately toggle vanilla player death messages and vanilla pet death messages on or off.
