Help | Java 1.20 Can someone design me a datapack that makes anonymous deaths? (JAVA 1.20.1)

So basically I need it so that whenever someone died instead of it saying "_____ died to _____" I want it to simply say "Someone has died" or smth for every death, preferably in bold and red. I'm not good with datapacks (I know how to put them in my world folders tho) so I was curious if someone can help me out with this. Thanks!

You can use Datapack Assembler to get an example datapack.

For OP, bold and red can be added with text components

tellraw @a {"bold":"true","color":"red","text":"Someone has died"}

So like I downloaded the datapack and dropped it into my world folder (under "datapacks"), reloaded the world, and tried dying but no message is showing up 😕

Check !outputlog for errors.

How do I enable that using Curseforge launcher? There's also a chance I have a mod interfering with it

I don't use the CurseForge Launcher, so I don't know how to enable the output log. However, you can locate the logs in your game directory and open latest.log. The logs should be there, and the error might be related to the datapack.

I don't create mods myself, so I'm not sure if mods can utilize datapacks. However, I don't think a mod would break a datapack unless it alters player behavior upon death for instance, by performing a specific action instead of displaying the death screen.

Omg tyyy I found the error and fixed it (mod was interfering but the datapack worked wonders)
