Kill Feed

Package: com.hypixel.hytale.server.core.modules.entity.damage.event

The kill feed displays PvP/PvE death announcements. When an entity dies, DeathSystems sends a KillFeedMessage packet with killer name, victim name, and an icon.

Customizing the Kill Feed

Mods can customize the kill feed through three cancellable events:

// control whether the kill feed entry appears and who sees it
eventRegistry.registerGlobal(KillFeedEvent.Display.class, event -> {
    Damage damage = event.getDamage();
    List<PlayerRef> targets = event.getBroadcastTargets();

    // cancel to suppress entirely
    event.setCancelled(true);

    // or modify the icon
    // or filter broadcastTargets
});

// customize the victim's display name in the kill feed
eventRegistry.registerGlobal(KillFeedEvent.DecedentMessage.class, event -> {
    event.setCancelled(true);  // suppress default
    // set custom message
});

// customize the killer's display name in the kill feed
eventRegistry.registerGlobal(KillFeedEvent.KillerMessage.class, event -> {
    event.setCancelled(true);
    // set custom message
});

HUD Visibility

The KillFeed component can be toggled per-player via the HUD system:

// hide kill feed for a player
hud.hideHudComponents(playerRef, HudComponent.KillFeed);

Packets

See KillFeedMessage for the wire format.
