In this tutorial we will show you how to remove the death messages for players on your Minecraft Server using a gamerule command. This is useful for reducing chat spam on PvP servers.

  1. Head over to your server Console or enter into your Minecraft Server.
  2. Enter the command /gamerule showDeathMessages false (ensuring to keep the upper case letters). When a player dies, there will no longer be any messages in-game of that player dying. Similarily, if you want to re-enable death messages, do /gamerule showDeathMessages true. Please note that these commands are case sensitive.

  3. That's it! No message relating to a players death will be displayed in the chat, helping to keep the chat a little cleaner.
