This was only tested in 1.18 however was compiled in 1.16 so it should work for 1.16+
This is a plugin that I made myself, it was created mainly for learning and also because I was annoyed with the default messages Minecraft had.
Features:
Customizable death messages
Customize what is defined as a weapon
Ability to customize the Hoverable messages
Ability to customize almost every type of kill message
Ability to ignore death messages with a permission (deathmessage.ignore)
There are quite a few missing death messages, however, they are compensated by the "Unknown" section in the config.

DISCLAIMER:
Some of the plugins that I looked at before creating my own are:
The name of the plugin is just to show what it is and nothing else, I just recently noticed that one of the plugins I took inspiration from has the same name :/
Note: If you have any issues please put them in the Discussion tab, and not in the Reviews.
This plugin may not be updated as I am still in school and have work.
