Commands and settings

Commands

Command	Who	What it does
/lastwords	Everyone	Your recent deaths in this world or on this server, newest first.
/lastwords hide	Everyone	Takes the arrow back to where you died away.
/lastwords share	Everyone	Posts your last death to chat, the same as the Share button.
/lastwords settings	Everyone	Opens the settings screen.
/lastwords <player>	Operators	Another player’s last death since the server started.

/lastwords: your history

/lastwords opens your last 10 deaths in this world or on this server, newest first (“Death 3 of 3 · just now”). The arrows page back through them, and underneath it says who or what has killed you most (“Killed most by Zombie (2)”).

Your history is kept in your own game, in tglastwords/history/ in the game folder, so it works on any server. Without Last Words in your game, the server answers instead with your last death in chat.

/lastwords share

Posts your death to chat for everyone. On a server with Last Words it’s one line with the whole recap in the hover, made from the server’s own copy so it can’t be faked, and you can share once every shareCooldownSeconds. See sharing.

/lastwords <player>: the admin view

For “why did I die?” on modded servers. An operator (permission level adminPermission, 2 by default) sees another player’s last death since the server started, even if they’ve logged off: on the recap screen if the operator has Last Words, or in chat if not.

Your settings

In game: type /lastwords settings, or on NeoForge go to Mods, Last Words, Config. Or edit config/tglastwords-client.toml.

Setting	Default	What it does
Show the recap when I die	On	The recap panel at all.
Seconds to show	10 (1-30)	How far back the recap goes. The server can allow less.
Side of the death screen	Right	Which side the panel sits on.
Show damage in hearts	Off	Hearts instead of health points (one heart is two points).
List every hit	On	The list of hits.
Put where I died in chat	On	The chat line with your coordinates.
Point back to where I died	On	The arrow back after you respawn.
Replay my deaths (replay)	On	Records the last few seconds for the death replay. Off: no recording, no replay.

Server settings

In config/tglastwords-server.toml in the server folder (created with the defaults the first time it starts). In singleplayer they’re also in the settings screen, under Server settings.

Setting	Default	What it does
enabled	true	Measure damage and make recaps at all.
windowSeconds	10 (3-30)	How far back recaps go. Players can show less, not more.
sendToClients	true	Send the full recap to players who have the mod. Off: their game shows what it measured itself.
chatSummary	PLAYERS_WITHOUT_MOD	A short recap in chat, seen only by the player who died: OFF, PLAYERS_WITHOUT_MOD or EVERYONE.
shareKillerHealth	true	Tell players how much health their killer had left.
shareLocation	true	Tell players where they died.
showTips	true	Add the “what would have saved you” tips.
allowSharing	true	Let players share their death with everyone.
shareCooldownSeconds	30 (0-3600)	Time between one player’s shares.
adminPermission	2 (0-4)	Permission level for /lastwords <player>.
findGraves	true	Look for the grave a grave mod makes and point players to it.
graveSearchRadius	32 (4-128)	How far across from the death spot to look for it.

On a PvP server you might turn off shareKillerHealth (so nobody learns how close they came) or shareLocation.
