Keeping score of who dies the most on a multiplayer server has always been a missing piece in vanilla Minecraft — and Death Count Mod fills that gap perfectly. Once installed, a small death counter appears right next to each player's ping in the tab list, turning every server session into an unofficial survival leaderboard. With over 73,000 downloads on Modrinth, it's quickly become a go-to utility for competitive survival groups and casual friend servers alike.
Key Features
- Automatic death tracking — Every player death on the server is recorded and tallied without any manual input or commands.
- Tab list integration — The death count displays as a small number next to each player's ping indicator when you press Tab, keeping the information always one keypress away.
- Per-player visibility — Quickly compare death counts across all online players to see who's surviving the longest — or dying the most.

FAQ
Does Death Count Mod work on both client and server side?
The mod integrates with the server's tab player list, so it needs to be installed where the death data is tracked. For the best experience, having it on the server ensures all connected players can see the counts.
Can I reset my death count?
Based on the available information, the mod tracks deaths automatically. There is no confirmed reset command or configuration option mentioned by the developer at this time.
Is Death Count Mod compatible with other server utility mods?
The mod appears to be lightweight since it only adds a number to the existing tab list UI. It should work alongside most other server utility mods, though you should always test mod combinations in a development environment first.
