# \ud83d\udc80 **ObfuscateDeathMessages**<\/p>\n
**ObfuscateDeathMessages** is a simple, lightweight plugin that hides the identity of invisible killers in death messages. Perfect for SMPs, PvP servers, stealth-based game modes, or any server where players can gain invisibility to avoid being immediately identified.<\/p>\n
This plugin ensures that **if the killer is invisible**, their name in the death message is replaced with an obfuscated, configurable pattern.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## \u2728 What It Does<\/p>\n
Whenever a player dies, the plugin checks:<\/p>\n
* **Who killed them** (player or mob)
\n* **Whether the killer is invisible**
\n* Whether the killer has a **bypass permission**<\/p>\n
If the killer *is invisible* and does *not* have the bypass permission, their name in the death message is replaced with a configurable obfuscated string.<\/p>\n
Example:<\/p>\n
“`
\nPlayer123 was slain by &f\u00a7k????\u00a7r
\n“`<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n

* Stealth-based PvP events
\n* Assassins game modes
\n* SMP servers where invisibility potions create mystery
\n* RPG worlds with cloaking mobs or bosses
\n* Servers that want more suspense and less instant information<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n

\n* `&k` magic text
