- All death messages (natural causes, mobs, and players) all have their own spot in config which is configurable with multiple messages.
- Update checker which sends a message when the plugin has an update
- Toggleable lightning effect when a player is killed.
- Customizable percent chance for a player to drop their head on death. (Customizable head name)

/cdm add [path] [new message] - allows you to add messages to config from a command, the 'path' tab autocompletes, so no need to go looking in config.

-
/cdm list [path] - lists the messages for a death message cause, and numbers them which allows you to delete certain messages.
- permission: cdm.list
