# Epic Death Screen
\nEpic Death Screen replaces Minecraft’s default death screen with a cinematic custom sequence.<\/p>\n
Instead of the vanilla death menu appearing instantly, the player gets a stylized blackout scene with heartbeat and heavy breathing audio, VHS-inspired visual noise, scanlines, chromatic distortion, and randomized motivational messages. The effect is designed to make dying feel dramatic instead of abrupt.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The mod includes:
\n– a full custom death sequence instead of the vanilla death screen
\n– blackout, VHS noise, scanlines, tracking artifacts, and text distortion
\n– themed visual and audio variations based on the cause of death
\n– large pools of random lines in English and Russian
\n– configurable scene duration
\n– configurable heartbeat and breathing volume
\n– configurable VHS intensity
\n– configurable chromatic aberration strength
\n– optional auto-respawn
\n– in-game config screen on supported loaders<\/p>\n
Supported versions:
\n– Fabric 1.20.1
\n– Fabric 1.21.1
\n– Forge 1.21.1
\n– NeoForge 1.21.1
\n– Forge 1.12.2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
