Death Lightning
Death Lightning (Visual Only)
Adds a lightning-themed visual and sound effect when a player dies, played at the death location. The effect is implemented using particles and sounds only and does not summon a lightning entity.
No fire, explosions, or damage are produced, and no gameplay mechanics are altered.
This datapack can be used on SMPs to provide a visible and audible indication when a player death occurs nearby.
Tested in multiplayer on multiplayer. Expected to function on other multiplayer versions and in multiplayer, but these have not been explicitly tested.
