How to Add Custom Death Quotes and Reload Them in Game

Death Quotes Mod comes with over 619 built-in quotes that appear right above the standard death message in chat, and you can easily expand or replace this list with your own jokes.

Editing the Quotes File

1. Launch your Minecraft world or server at least once so the mod automatically generates its default files.

2. Open your Minecraft game directory (or your server's root directory) and navigate to the config folder.

3. Locate the deathquotes.txt file and open it in any plain text editor.

4. Add your own custom lines to the existing list, or clear the file completely if you only want your custom quotes to appear.

5. Save the text file when you are finished.

If you ever make a mistake or want the original 619+ default quotes back, move or delete deathquotes.txt from the config folder; the mod automatically creates a fresh default file whenever none exists.

Applying Changes Without Restarting

You do not need to close Minecraft or reboot your server after editing deathquotes.txt.

1. Open the in-game chat window (make sure cheats or operator permissions are enabled).

2. Run the command /deathquotes reloadQuotes.

3. Test your updated list by dying in the game—for example, jumping from a high ledge or swimming in lava—to see a quote appear in chat right above your standard death message.
