Added item-names
Added item-names which allows configuring the display of %weapon% and %weapon_name% when the weapon does not have a custom name.
Config-version upped to 51. Changes:

The following section added below (but not inside) mob-names.
Code (Text):

item-names:
  # Use this section to provide custom translations for items when used in a
  # death message to replace %weapon% or %weapon_name%.
  # See list of options here:
  #   https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/Material.html.
  #   (these may change depending on the Minecraft version)
  # Example:
  # IRON_SWORD: "Iron Sword"
 
----------, Apr 4, 2020

Added option to override all death messages for a player
Config-version increased to 50.

The new feature is enabled by using a special syntax in custom-messages-per-player (or custom-messages-per-killer-player). Example:
Code (Text):

custom-messages-per-player:
  "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000":
    "*":
      - "A VIP player, %plrtag%, died!"
 
In addition, it is now possible to disable the standard [DMP] prefix for DeathMessagesPrime messages by using dmp-prefix-in-command-messages, which is true by default. (This is the version the config version was incremented).
----------, Apr 1, 2020

Added permission to use /dmsg
The new permission, deathmessagesprime.version, grants the user the right to see the plugin version using /dmsg (without any parameters). If they are not allowed to see the version, the player will see the configured "no permission" message instead. Before this version, the installed version of DMP could be seen by anyone by using the command.

Note that the permission is also required if the player wants to see the subcommands of /dmsg that are available to the player.
----------, Dec 18, 2019

Updated for 1.15
Updated for 1.15. Also, sweet berry bush death messages might work now.

Config-changes:
config-version upped to 49.

added the following under mob and namedmob:
Code (YAML):
      Bee :
         - "%plrtag% was stung to death"
added the following under mob-names:
Code (YAML):
Bee : "Bee"
----------, Dec 11, 2019

Add command message customization
This adds further customization to messages used by the commands in DMP. It also changes the functionality of the /dmp command somewhat, as it no longer shows commands that the person running the command would not have permissions for.

Config changes:
config-version upped to 48.
Added the following under death-messages-shown:

Code (YAML):
# Messages for other commands
no-permission : "§cYou have no permission to run this command."
players-only-command : "§cOnly players can run this command."
reload-complete : "Reload complete!"
cannot-find-online-player : "Cannot find online player"
----------, Nov 12, 2019

Fixed a possible IndexOutOfBoundsException
This error at DeathListener.java:2600 might have occurred randomly when handling death messages, but should not occur again.
----------, Aug 19, 2019

Fix PlayerCustom messages again
This time there would be some question marks too many if show-custom-death-msg-on-all-weapons was set to false, caused by an earlier bug fix.
----------, Aug 16, 2019

Fix PlayerCustom messages
Before this update, PlayerCustom might not have displayed the weapon info or displayed incorrect weapon info. This update should fix those issues.
----------, Aug 16, 2019

Event fixes
This fixes various minor entity damage event and API issues.
----------, Aug 6, 2019

Fix custom messages for melee deaths
This fixes custom-mob-death-messages, custom-user-death-messages and custom-player-death-messages for melee deaths.
----------, Aug 5, 2019

Added console-death-message-even-if-disabled
Added console-death-message-even-if-disabled, a setting that controls whether death messages from disabled worlds (or worlds in which death messages are private) will appear in the server console.

Config changes: config-version upped to 47. Following setting added under console-death-message-strip-colors:

Code (YAML):
# Displays the death message in the console even if the world has disabled
# death messages or set them to private.
# Default: true
console-death-message-even-if-disabled : true
----------, Jul 31, 2019

Fixed StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
This would have only happened in rare cases, but should no longer occur anymore, as there is now a fallback.
----------, Jul 30, 2019

Fixed deathmessagesprime.debug
Sometimes debug messages would also get broadcasted to players that did not have this permission, but this should be fixed now.
----------, Jul 20, 2019

Add world-specific death messages
This version adds support for world-specific death messages. Config changes: config-version upped to 46, and the below block added to the end of the file:

Code (Text):

custom-messages-per-world:
  # Add custom messages for worlds. Use the world name as the key, then
  # use a death reason key with the list of messages.
  # This has lesser priority than custom-messages-per-player,
  # custom-messages-per-killer-player or others.
 
  # "world":
  #   natural:
  #     TNT:
  #       - "A player, %plrtag%, blew up in the specific world!"
 
----------, Jul 4, 2019

Add trader llama support
This adds support for trader llamas which otherwise could confuse the plugin.

Config changes:
config-version upped to 45.
Added TraderLlama under mob-names:
Code (Text):

  TraderLlama: "Trader Llama"
 
----------, Jun 26, 2019

Added API features
This update updates the existing DeathMessageCustomEvent, adding ability to cancel death messages through that event as well as get and set whether the death was caused by PVP.
----------, Jun 26, 2019

AreaEffectCloud NPE fix, creeper fix (kind of)
Fixed the NullPointerException caused by AreaEffectCloud.

Also, any Creeper related Kill death messages stopped working in 1.14, because a dead entity is no longer searchable through the list of entities in the world. Because of this, no Creeper message or any other message where the mob had already died before the player would work (instead, they would display the death message as if their death weren't caused by a mob). For this version, I included a small patch that hardcodes the Creeper FallExplosionKill message if a Creeper happens to kill the player by blowing them off a cliff or similar. This however may not work well with addons, as despite being FallExplosionKill, the death event has no damager. I'm looking for a better solution.
----------, Jun 3, 2019

Fixed version detection code
1.14 features as well as others should work properly again.
----------, May 9, 2019

1.14 support
Added 1.14 support, some new API methods (DeathMessagesPrime#getDeathMessage, DeathMessagesPrime#getEventPriority), refactored code and other small changes. Has been tested against 1.14-pre5, but should work on final 1.14.

Config changes: config-version upped to 44. There are a lot of changes, so I will provide a diff; if you're not sure how to read this, you should regenerate the config.

# Similar to the above, but this only controls PVP messages (not natural
# death messages). If both are set, the above worlds-death-message-radius

Fixed Endermite mob-names mapping
It was simply missing from the plugin, but should work now. No config changes should be needed, although it's recommended you check Endermite under mob-names as it can actually appear now.
----------, Nov 1, 2018

Fix NPE in format
This occurred with some unnamed weapons, but should be fixed now.
----------, Oct 30, 2018

Implement rarity & fix mooshroom
Implemented the item rarity system where the item text color will change depending on how "rare" the item is. This system should use the same values as Minecraft itself.

Mooshroom death messages should also work now.

Config changes:
config-version upped to 42.
Added under "death-message-enable-namedmob":
Code (YAML):
# Show the rarity of items in the %weapon_name% and %weapon% tags.
# (This affects the text colors and formatting for some items, such
# as enchanted ones.)
# Default: true

Fix NPE and add CreeperCharged
Fixes a (fairly stupid) NPE on Minecraft versions older than 1.13 and adds a CreeperCharged feature.

Config changes:
config-version upped to 42.
Added CreeperCharged under Creeper (to under mob and namedmob), which by default uses the same messages as Creeper.
----------, Oct 5, 2018

Added death-message-item-flags
Added a death-message-item-flags feature that allows adding ItemFlags to the items shown under %weapon%.

Config changes:
config-version upped to 41.

Following has been added under death-message-enable-namedmob:
Code (YAML):
# Allows applying item flags on items that appear in death messages.
# Note that this feature only works on Minecraft 1.8 and above.
# Possible flags are documented under https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/inventory/ItemFlag.html
death-message-item-flags :
 # - HIDE_ATTRIBUTES
# - HIDE_ENCHANTS
----------, Oct 4, 2018

Small fix of adding a fallback in case of a too long message
If a JSON message would turn out too long (which could prevent the server from sending it or possibly even kicking out players), DMP will now remove all JSON formatting (such as item hover events and so on) to avoid that from happening. (This is a last case scenario and should not occur normally, however.)
----------, Sep 25, 2018

Fix everything that 1.13.4 broke
All of which was caused a silly small coding mistake.
----------, Sep 8, 2018

Small API change
getTag() will now return the original death message tag initially. This doesn't affect how the plugin works without any add-ons.
----------, Sep 7, 2018

Added death-message-enable-namedmob
Config-version has been upped from 39 to 40. Changes:

Added a new config option under death-message-conflict-broadcast, death-message-enable-namedmob, which is true by default.

Code (Text):

# Whether to enable namedmob messages. If disabled, namedmob messages
# will not be shown and will be replaced with mob.
# Default: true
death-message-enable-namedmob: true

Fix intermittent NoSuchMethodError
This seems to also happen in newer versions at times, so instead we'll check for it properly rather than assuming the method exists on newer versions.
----------, Apr 28, 2018

Fix for 1.8
The new system didn't work with 1.8 because it used a method that was not available on 1.8. This should be fixed now.
----------, Apr 26, 2018

Rewrite colored message handling
The handling of colored messages has been rewritten, hopefully taken care of some issues. If any new issues arise from this update, please report them.

I'm also announcing that this plugin will be updated for 1.13 once it is out and the final version of Spigot for 1.13 is too. It may take a couple days or so, however.

----------, Feb 12, 2018

Fixed Wither and Dispenser messages
Self-explanatory, neither of the messages were working but should be now.
----------, Feb 2, 2018

Added %distance%
This variable is simply the integer number of blocks of distance between the player and the killer at the time of the death in a death message (if a killer exists).
----------, Jan 31, 2018

Fix projectile NPE
A bit more looking before you leap in the actual code regarding the handling of projectile deaths.
----------, Dec 19, 2017

Queue glitch possibly fixed
The exact circumstances of this glitch are still unknown, but the common factor is that a large number of death messages (that either got delayed or were never supposed to be broadcasted in the first place) will get broadcasted at once on specific configurations. There is now a lock around the queue when it comes to broadcasting messages, and some of the checks for each message have been reordered.
----------, Dec 11, 2017

Fixed 1.8 bug
When running on 1.8, an occasional error related to AreaEffectCloud could break the plugin. This has now been fixed.
----------, Nov 1, 2017

Multiline colors fixed
Fixed some bugs where messages split into multiple lines might lose colors (such as when a weapon name wraps to a second line).
----------, Oct 26, 2017

Small bugfixes
No major changes here. This update tries to fix the possible NPE that might sometimes occur.
----------, Oct 24, 2017

Fixed some mob messages not working with custom-mob-death-messages
Fairly self-explanatory. This mainly affected the Creeper and WitherSpawnBoom messages, which will now be properly checked through TNTKill.
----------, Sep 3, 2017

Fixed %weapon% possibly being empty
This would only happen with weapons with no custom name. It attempts to use a standard name based on the item's type now, although at some point translation support for it will be added.
----------, Aug 12, 2017

PVP prefix/suffix and custom messages for killing players
Added custom-messages-per-killer-player (custom messages for a killing player) as well as prefix-pvp and suffix-pvp (prefix and suffix for PVP messages only).

Config changes:

config-version updated to 37.

Added under the prefix and suffix under death-messages (yes, the fact that they're comments is intentional):

Code (Text):

  # If you want a prefix / suffix only for PVP messages, uncomment these:
  # prefix-pvp: "&a[&eD&a] &c"
  # suffix-pvp: ""
 
Added under the custom-messages-per-player block:

Code (Text):

custom-messages-per-killer-player:
  # Same as above, but for killing players in PVP events.
  # To get the UUID of an online player, use /dmsg uuid player_name
 
  # "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000":
  #   natural:
  #     TNTKill:
  #       - "%plrtag% got blown up by a VIP player, %entity%!"  
 
(custom-messages-per-player.conflict also controls custom-messages-per-killer-player)
----------, Aug 12, 2017

Compatibility & priority changes
Death messages are now broadcasted at MONITOR, not HIGHEST. compat-mode is now true by default (in the new config.yml, no changes needed however) and handles hidden death messages (e.setDeathMessage(null)) correctly.
----------, Aug 10, 2017

Conflict & Ender Dragon Breath fixes
Fixed possible plugin conflicts, the plugin tries its best to display the modified death message now if a plugin interferes, with an option to toggle whether DMP will use the standard Spigot death message broadcasting in that case (false) or broadcast the custom death message provided by some other plugin using its own system (true, default).

A couple of errors (causing stack traces) relating to deaths caused by Ender Dragon breath are also fixed.

Config updates:
- config-version updated to 36.
- death-message-compat-mode description was changed:
Code (Text):

# Death message compatibility: set the message as normal, until HIGHEST,
# when it is emptied.
# Use this if any conflicts arise.
death-message-compat-mode: ...
 
- A new option, death-message-conflict-broadcast, under death-message-compat-mode:
Code (Text):

# Whether to use DMP broadcasting if a custom death message is set by
# another plugin.
death-message-conflict-broadcast: true
 
----------, Aug 7, 2017

Bed death message & death message cooldown
Added a bed death message and a death message cooldown system.

Configs updated, changes (except if you regenerate your config):

config-version is now 35.

Added Bed death message:
Code (Text):
...
    EnderCrystal:
      - "%plrtag% blew up"
    Bed: # exploding beds
      - "%plrtag% blew up"
    Cactus:
      - "%plrtag% was pricked to death"
...
Added the config flags for the cooldown (between worlds-death-message-radius and debug):

Code (Text):

# If a player dies over death-count times within death-interval seconds,
# death messages from that player will be hidden for death-cooldown seconds.
# If death-reset is true, every hidden death message resets the cooldown.

cooldown-death-interval: 10
cooldown-death-cooldown: 10

1.8 support readded
This is the initial test of readding 1.8 support, which was removed in DMP version 1.2. If there are any issues (such as errors in console), please report them in the thread.
----------, Jul 25, 2017

Sweep attack fix
In case that damage from a sweep attack kills the player, the death message should now appear properly. (Not sure if this was ever a concern though)
----------, Jul 24, 2017

FallKillWeapon fix
Will not error anymore when the killer is not a player.
----------, Jul 15, 2017

Implemented FallKillWeapon & fixed TNTKill
FallKillWeapon (which should already be in config.yml) should now work, appearing instead of FallKill with the same conditions as PlayerCustom / PlayerMelee. TNTKill has been fixed and should now appear again with primed TNT. No config changes needed.
----------, Jul 14, 2017

Removed debug message
Self-explanatory.
----------, Jul 12, 2017

Fixed %weapon% with bows
If show-custom-death-msg-on-all-weapons was true and/or PlayerProjectileCustom message was used, the %weapon% tag would not work properly. This has been fixed.
----------, Jul 12, 2017

Fixed Thorns
Fixed the Thorns death message and added a new API feature, registerTagPrefix.
----------, Jul 10, 2017

Added the firework death message
Added a firework death message option.

Config version updated to 33!
Regenerate your configuration files where possible.
If you don't want to regenerate, here's a change list:
- All instances of %weapon_name% in default death messages were changed to %weapon%.
- All "...was finished off..." default death messages were removed.
- Added FallKillWeapon, FallFinishKill, FallFinishKillWeapon death message settings below the FallKill one. ( these messages are not implemented yet)
Code (Text):
    FallKill:
      ...
    FallKillWeapon:
      - "%plrtag% was doomed to fall by %killer% using [%weapon%&f]"
    FallFinishKill:
      - "%plrtag% fell too far and was finished by %killer%"
    FallFinishKillWeapon:
      - "%plrtag% fell too far and was finished by %killer% using [%weapon%&f]"
    FallExplosionKill: # FallKill caused by entity explosion
      ...
- Added a Firework death message setting above the Elytra one.
Code (Text):
    FallVineKill:
      ...
    Firework:
      - "%plrtag% went off with a bang"
    Elytra:
      ...
- The default EnderDragonBreath message was changed from "%plrtag% was killed by Ender Dragon using magic" to "%plrtag% roasted in dragon breath" to reflect intended vanilla message.

Added show/hide API
The API concerns the DeathMessagePreparedEvent and allows plugins to add players to whom the death message will be shown or will not be shown regardless of most other conditions. An official plugin using this functionality will soon be released (this plugin will allow each individual player with sufficient permissions to hide death messages from specific players).

Fixed running DMP 1.12 on Minecraft versions older than 1.12
Self-explanatory
----------, Jun 9, 2017

Fixed Illusioner message
Illusioner messages, prior to this version, used UnknownArrow.
----------, Jun 8, 2017

Updated for Minecraft 1.12
The plugin is also now built with Java 8 (the same version that is now required by the server itself).

No config changes are needed, since an earlier version already introduced the Illusioner and Parrot messages - this update will just make them work.
----------, Jun 8, 2017

Fix crash in versions older than v1.11
The crash was related to Horse classes. This fixes errors like "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/bukkit/entity/Donkey". No config changes needed.
----------, May 1, 2017

Preparation for 1.12 and friendly mob death messages
Configuration files need to be regenerated.

Usually friendly mobs, such as animals (pig, sheep etc.) have death messages now (for when a player is killed by one). This is intended for mods, custom maps or plugins (such as Revenge by Asynchronous).

Also, some config features have already been added for upcoming 1.12 mobs (Illusioner and Parrot), as well as a config option for showing death messages for named pets (however, this isn't implemented yet, and will be implemented for version v1.12).
----------, May 1, 2017

AreaEffectCloud fixes #2
Unknown AreaEffectCloud messages will cause the UNKNOWN death message to pop up. Seemingly these messages have been popping up, but I'm not yet sure whether it's a bug in this plugin (missed some obscure death case, lingering potion outside of players, ender dragons and dispensers) or incompatibility with some other plugins.
----------, Feb 21, 2017

Fixed the Thorns death messages
Self-explanatory. No config regeneration needed.
----------, Jan 23, 2017

Damage IndexOutOfBoundsException fix
With specific plugin combinations or kill commands, the damage for death events isn't unknown, which would've caused an IndexOutOfBoundsException. This version fixes the issue (and acknowledges that DeathPreDMPEvent.getDamage() can be 0 in such a case.
----------, Jan 19, 2017

New event for API
Added the DMPReloadEvent, which is triggered when the /dmsg reload command is called. This allows addons to reload themselves as well.
----------, Jan 14, 2017

Added a new event to the API
The DeathPreDMPEvent is guaranteed to trigger on every player death before any other DMP events are triggered or any formatTag functions called. It's mainly intended for addons that need to do some preparations after the player has died but before any tags are formatted.

A related announcement: the first example plugin is ready! https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/dmpinventoryplayerinfo.34731/

A less related one: I'm planning to release the source code of both DMP and this recently released addon at some point in the future (hopefully soon)
