Why use Player Death Kick Mod?

In traditional Minecraft, players can keep rejoining even after dying, which diminishes the intensity of survival-focused challenges. With Player Death Kick Mod, you enforce a true “hardcore” environment without needing to switch game modes or restart the world. It’s especially useful for content creators, server admins, or event organizers who want to add tension, stakes, and finality to every decision players make.

FAQs

Can I disable the kick for admins?

Yes. Set exemptAdminPlayers = true in the config to prevent admins (OPs) from being kicked upon death.

Where is the config file located?

The config file is located in .minecraft/config/playerdeathkick-server.toml. You can edit it to customize messages, kick behavior, and more.

Can I use this mod in singleplayer?

Technically yes, but it’s designed for multiplayer use where player removal upon death has meaningful consequences.

Does this mod support Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt?

Yes. The mod is cross-platform and supports all major mod loaders including Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt.

Can I change the delay before a player is kicked?

No. The kick happens immediately upon death, and there is no delay configuration at this time.
