Death messages

i think people are a bit skeptical that fuckin click events or heaviliy k'd text or some shit would show in the messages

So the thing I've noticed is that we usually have many Minecraft features off - these have been toggled off in the past as solutions. To protect us from exploits, we usually have it off nowadays too. We don't have to have it like that though.

Yesterday I switched on Death Messages, and they managed to stay on for a day without being exploited. If they are exploited though, let's not switch off Death Messages.. let's instead sanction the users who abuse them. OPs and Admins alike enjoyed having it on - they had fun with the feature. I don't think it's fair to switch it off just for the benefit of protecting us from exploits when we could just /cleanchat and sanction the user accordingly. Yes, it's more work but when we signed up to become admin we agreed to anything changing in the system at any time.

Death messages should currently be disabled... Which is intentional. There's a Dev ticket to implement our own version of them which can be safe for players iirc.

↩ @'Ryan' I've switched them off then. Is there an idea of how long the dev ticket version will take?

↩  You! I’m pretty sure I’ve told you that it’s disabled because I remember once I enabled them and got yelled at by Fleek - then I saw you doing it and told you off for it too.

I think the server crashed because of the death messages somehow (back when I enabled them)

Note that features are disabled for a reason. If you want a feature to be enabled, you should absolutely feel free to create a thread or ask a developer if it's possible, but please don't enable things without informing anyone.
